The school supports its students by providing a structured academic environment tailored to their higher-level learning needs. “We chose Apeejay School, Nerul, because our elder daughter thrived here with constant guidance and support. Our son has similarly benefited since nursery. During Class X Boards, teachers provided academic and emotional support, even at the exam centre, motivating us to continue at this school for Class XI instead of coaching classes,” shares Rakhi Pandey, whose son, Anantjeet, studies in Class XI here.
Read on to know how, alongside academics, the school encourages leadership opportunities and skill-building activities to foster confidence, teamwork, and time management.
How are the teachers preparing him for the Boards ahead?
For the preparation of class XII Board exams, the teachers are emphasising understanding key concepts of all subjects through various tests and multiple revision sessions. They teach effective strategies for time management, thereby reducing exam-related stress. The Principal interacts with the students, time to time, through various orientation programmes, sharing his experiences, thereby preventing the students from committing the same mistakes made by other students earlier.
Which stream has he picked, and what are his plans?
He has taken the Science stream with Computer Science, as he wishes to pursue CS Engineering. The teachers encourage him to explore other fields as well and keep an open mind to all streams. The school has also conducted career navigation programs for students and parents, counselling them about different streams and career options.
How is the parent-teacher interaction here?
Every parent-teacher interaction is beneficial to the child’s progress and growth. The teacher shares the child’s academic growth, his strengths, weaknesses, and the areas of improvement. The teachers are also open to questions and feedback, which helps him with overall development.
How do you handle his studies at home?
We believe regular and systematic study patterns, even for shorter durations, are more beneficial than irregular long hours of study. This thought process is also echoed by the school teachers and Principal Sir. This approach of study has helped him a lot during class 10th board exam, making him a part of the board exam toppers list.
How does the school promote the holistic growth of kids?
The school provides holistic development by offering opportunities to students in various fields, including sports and academics. Value-based education is promoted, nurturing the tenets of sharing and caring. It provides the child with immense opportunities to excel in life, not only academically, but also helps them to become a better person. The teachers give personal attention to all students, helping them overcome their fears and weaknesses, which in turn boosts their confidence.
