The school fosters children’s overall growth through a carefully designed, play-based learning environment. “We chose Apeejay SchoolNoida, primarily for its proximity to our home. Beyond convenience, the school offers a balanced focus on academics, co-curricular activities, sports, educational trips, and creative events. It consistently demonstrates strong academic performance, and the world-class infrastructure adds to its appeal, making it an ideal environment for holistic development,” shares Sonia Singh, whose daughter, Adhikaswaraa, studies here.  

Read on to find out how the school’s inclusive approach respects each child’s pace and learning style.

What has your child learnt so far?

Our daughter has been diagnosed with Global Developmental Delay, especially affecting her speech. The teachers at Apeejay School, Noida, have been extraordinarily understanding and committed, tailoring their approach to suit her learning needs. Under their care, she has begun to scribble, paint, and identify letters — a wonderful sign of her steady progress.

What best practices do teachers use here?

The teachers here emphasise personalised guidance. They offer multi-sensory and activity-based learning. The school also lays emphasis on the premise that children with diverse needs should participate in co-curricular activities, not be isolated.

How is the parent-teacher interaction here?

It is effective and well-structured. Regular PTMs are conducted, providing detailed feedback on each child’s progress. Teachers are approachable, receptive, and supportive. They remain available beyond school hours and are just a call away, ensuring smooth and consistent communication between school and parents in every situation.

How is the school promoting holistic education?

The school is effectively promoting holistic education by focusing on overall development rather than just academic achievement. For our daughter, who has global developmental and speech delays, this approach aligns perfectly with her needs. The emphasis on activity-based and experiential learning allows her to engage in non-verbal, creative, and play-based tasks such as scribbling and painting, making learning comfortable and stress-free. The school’s inclusive environment values emotional, social, creative, and physical growth, ensuring she progresses at her own pace without the pressure of merely ‘catching up academically’. This nurturing and supportive approach truly reflects the essence of holistic education.

What are the core strength areas of this school?

It lies in its balanced approach to academics and overall development. It has strong academic records and offers a wide range of co-curricular activities, sports, educational trips, and creative events. These opportunities help students grow intellectually, physically, socially, and creatively in a supportive environment.
