What factors influenced you to choose Apeejay School, Panchsheel Park?
We chose it for its outstanding academic reputation, balanced emphasis on both academics and extracurricular activities, and its nurturing environment. The school’s commitment to comprehensive education is evident through its dedication to promoting intellectual curiosity, creativity, and emotional intelligence. It also emphasises strong values, discipline, and social responsibility, ensuring well-rounded growth for its students. Additionally, the positive feedback from other parents and the school’s impressive track record further reinforced our decision.
What best techniques teachers use to teach students?
Teachers employ interactive and student-centric teaching methodologies, including activity-based learning and creative assignments. Events like the Spellathon also provide an engaging platform for students to enhance their vocabulary and language skills. The school encourages experiential learning through practical exercises that deepen students’ understanding of concepts. With personalised attention and a focus on nurturing curiosity, teachers ensure that every child feels supported and motivated to learn. The continuous use of innovative teaching strategies makes the learning experience both enriching and effective.

Which activities does your child enjoy and participate in the most at school?
Zara particularly enjoys participating in cultural programmes and art activities. She has also loved the Sports Guru sessions and skating classes, which helped her stay active and engaged. These sessions not only contributed to her physical development but also developed teamwork and discipline. Additionally, she cherished the vibrant celebration of festivals at school, especially the joy of wearing traditional dresses during these events. The thoughtfully organised celebrations expose children to diverse cultures and traditions, encouraging inclusivity and joy. From being a reserved child, she has grown into an enthusiastic participant in school events.
How are the safety protocols for young children?
The school maintains stringent safety protocols, including secure entry and exit systems and vigilant staff ensuring continuous supervision. The presence of caring and attentive didis (caregivers) adds an extra layer of safety and comfort for the young children. They are always available to assist, supervise, and ensure the well-being of the students. Teachers and support staff are attentive and proactive, ensuring the well-being of every child. Additionally, clear communication channels with parents help maintain transparency and provide reassurance about their child’s safety at all times.
Which facilities and infrastructure of the school are attractive and conducive for students?
Apeejay School offers modern, well-equipped facilities, including spacious classrooms, extensive playgrounds, and dedicated spaces for arts and sports. Additionally, the auditorium offers a platform for students to showcase their talents in various events and programs. This comprehensive infrastructure creates an inspiring environment that supports both academic growth and extracurricular excellence.
Are you happy and satisfied with your child’s progress so far?
Absolutely! We are extremely happy and satisfied with our experience at Apeejay School. The school has played a pivotal role in Zara’s development, particularly in building her confidence. Zara was a very shy child, but all the teachers supported her immensely by providing opportunities to speak on stage. Their encouragement and belief in her abilities helped her grow. We are especially thankful to all the teachers for their unwavering support and guidance. The nurturing environment, well-rounded educational approach, and focus on overall development have positively shaped her academic and social journey.
