‘This school has extremely supportive teachers’

Schools play a crucial role in fostering social and emotional intelligence. Therefore, parents choose a school that helps their children build a positive mindset, develop a sense of empathy, and know how to accommodate diverse learning styles. Institutes like Apeejay Education which believe in the holistic development of the students make it easy for parents like Kamaljeet Singh, the father of Diljot Kaur and Vanshjyot Singh, studying in class VII and V respectively at Apeejay School, Mahavir Marg to make an informed decision.

In a candid interview, the father speaks highly of the school’s atmosphere and learning environment which has helped his kids grow.

What made you choose this school for your kids?

The school has an excellent reputation that dates back more than five decades. When we were looking for a school for our elder one, we had heard good things — its legacy and good teachers. The school is also centrally located making it easy for us. Hence, we decided to enroll both of the kids here.

How has been your children’s overall experience at this school?

It has been truly delightful. My kids genuinely enjoy going to school every day, and we are incredibly pleased with the positive learning environment, friendly atmosphere, and the safety measures taken at this school. So far, we haven’t encountered any issues.

Are your kids involved in any extracurricular activities?

Both my kids are fond of participating in dance competitions. Diljot loves to take part in painting competitions, essay writing, dance, and more. My son participated in the dance performance during the recent Annual Appreciation Day.

What about their recent achievements, if any?

As mentioned earlier, both of my children consistently demonstrate academic excellence. Furthermore, in the previous year, both of them achieved the noteworthy accomplishment of securing the second position in their respective classes.

How do you help your children understand the limits of using mobile phones and gadgets?

Diljot is quite calm. She completes all her school work, followed by her study schedule and then only uses the phone. My son is a little naughty but when we make him understand the adverse effects of using the smartphone for hours on end, he understands it and does as advised.

Who helps them to study at home?

My wife and I keep a close check on our kids and their academic progress. For the same, either of us helps our kids to study and read at home. As parents, we are always available for our children.

How do you spend quality time with them?

Since I am a working professional and get time only in the evenings or weekends. That is when I make it a point to plan outings with my kids and help them explore unexplored places. 

Is there anything specific you like the most about this school?

There is nothing specific I would like to mention about the school, as this school is the best in the city. The teachers are highly supportive and help each student to grab the opportunity to showcase their talents on stage.
