‘This school motivates kids to participate in all activities’
A parent at Apeejay School, Tanda Road, observes teachers consistently nurturing her son’s confidence and progress daily
Selecting the right school plays a crucial role in shaping a child’s learning journey and confidence. In this impromptu conversation, Parvinder Kaur reflects on her son Sehtaj’s experiences at Apeejay School, Tanda Road, the support he received from his teachers, and the many opportunities that helped him develop confidence, leadership, and a well-rounded personality. Read on to know more…
What factors influenced your decision to choose this school?
My son joined the school in the nursery and is, at present, in Class V. The school is close to our home, which was a major reason. My child’s cousins were also studying here, so we were confident about the environment. The class strength is small, so teachers give more attention. That mattered a lot to us.
How have the teachers supported your child over the years?
They have encouraged him at every step. He has taken part in many activities and sports. I still remember his first fancy-dress competition in UKG when he chose the character of Udham Singh. He was nervous, but the teachers and parents supported him so well that it boosted his confidence.
Is there any memory that stands out for you as a parent?
There are many, but one special moment was when he performed as Udham Singh, and the other parents praised him. Another proud moment was when he was made a prefect this session. Seeing him reach that stage made me very happy.
What teaching methods do you find helpful for your child?
The teachers teach amazingly. There is good interaction in class. I would like even more questions from the chapters and deeper explanations. Group discussions can also help students build confidence.
How do you support the school’s focus on discipline and values at home?
We encourage confidence at home, too. If he feels low, I remind him to trust himself. The school reinforces these values strongly.
How would you describe the overall atmosphere of the school?
The atmosphere is very positive. Students are motivated to participate in various activities. This session, he has taken part in quizzes and performed well in both English and Math.
