Interviews
‘This school focuses on instilling values in students’
The mother of a student at Apeejay School, Noida says that the school encourages its students to engage in all activities
Exposure to different activities allows students to explore their talents and interests beyond academics. They may discover passions they never knew they had, which can be instrumental in shaping their future. Choosing a school that fosters not just academics but also extracurricular activities, is the most appropriate way of educating students.
Since Apeejay Education believes in the holistic development of its students, it made it easy for parents like Pooja Sahni, mother of Surat Sahni, a student of Class XII, of Apeejay School, Noida to choose this school for her daughter.
‘Eventually, marks and class won’t take you further. It’s the skills that will keep you ahead such as teamwork, hard work, networking, and more,” the mother said.
In a candid interview, she talked about how the school has been a great source of inspiration for her daughter.
How has been your child’s experience at this school so far?
Her journey through school has been nothing short of marvelous. Having been there since day one, she’s immersed herself in every aspect of the educational experience, savouring each moment along the way.
Which stream has she chosen? And what are her plans?
She has chosen PCM with Biology. Opting for this stream, she demonstrates a passion for both Math and Biology. However, she’s aware that such a stream doesn’t solely pave the way to a medical career. Consequently, she’s eager to explore a broader array of possibilities to harness her interests and skills to their fullest potential.
Do you think that the curriculum of the school had a positive impact on your child’s development?
The school provides a great amalgamation of extracurricular activities along with academics which is a great mix. That’s the primary reason which makes Apeejay stand out in the crowd. No doubt, Surat has developed great skills over all these years during her school journey.
Is she involved in extracurricular activities?
Yes. She’s the head of the board club and enjoys participating in declamation activities.
Do you think your decision to choose Apeejay school for your child has been appropriate?
Choosing Apeejay School for both my elder son and my daughter has proven to be a great decision. There has never been a moment when I have regretted putting my children at this school.
How do you spend quality time with your child?
We prioritise family time, often going out for dinners and visiting both my and her dad’s family. This way, our children can experience the best of both worlds and learn valuable lessons along the way.
