Schools play a vital role in the overall growth of Class XI students by supporting both academic advancement and personal development. “Beyond academics, students at this school are encouraged to participate in leadership roles, competitions, research projects, and career counselling sessions. Co-curricular activities, sports, and community service further nurture confidence, teamwork, and a sense of responsibility,” shares Shweta Aggarwal, whose son Nalin studies in Class XI at Apeejay School, Kharghar.

Read on to know how students become self-assured and ready for future challenges here.

How are the teachers supporting your son?

They’re not just teaching lessons — they’re building connections. I’ve seen him become more expressive, responsible, and self-driven over the years, and that transformation is thanks to the encouragement and trust his teachers have shown him. Whether it’s academic challenges, school projects, or personal development, the teachers are always approachable and supportive.

Which stream has he picked, and what are his career plans?

He has chosen Science, which aligns perfectly with his love for problem-solving and technology. He’s always been fascinated by how things work—and more recently, he’s developed a strong interest in Artificial Intelligence and innovation. His dream is to work on technologies that can make a meaningful difference in the world. It’s exciting to see that spark in him, and I’m grateful that Apeejay School gives him the space and encouragement to explore his interests.

Why did you choose Apeejay School, Kharghar?

From the very first visit, there was a warmth in the way the faculty engaged with us. The environment struck a rare balance between discipline and creativity, tradition and innovation. What truly convinced us was the school’s focus on developing not just academically strong students, but confident, kind, and curious individuals. I could see that Apeejay School would offer Nalin the platform to not only excel but to thrive.

Which infrastructure and facilities are impressive?

Nalin often comes home talking about experiments in the science labs, his time in the library, or fun activities on the sports field. The school blends traditional learning with modern tools — smart classrooms, hands-on lab sessions, engaging co-curricular activities — all of which create an environment where students are both challenged and supported. More than just the buildings, it’s the thought behind how each space is used that makes the environment so student-friendly.

Is Apeejay School like a second home for your child?

Absolutely; it’s his second home in every sense. For Nalin, school isn’t just a place to study; it’s where he’s formed lasting friendships, found incredible mentors, and discovered more about who he is and who he wants to be. The sense of safety, belonging, and joy he feels here means the world to us as parents.
