‘This school’s extracurricular activities are wonderful’

When choosing a school that offers holistic education, parents ensure that their children receive a balanced and comprehensive education that prepares them for various aspects of life, not just academic success. Beyond academic knowledge, holistic education is essential for navigating life’s complexities and achieving long-term success, which is why Apeejay Education is always at the forefront.

“I feel exceptionally fortunate to have enrolled my child at such an amazing school,” says Ms Sonu Singh, mother of Garvit Singh, a student of class III, studying at Apeejay School, Panchsheel Park. In a candid telephonic conversation, we had the privilege to interact with a highly satisfied parent who feels super happy to share her delightful experience with us!

What made you choose Apeejay?

I was aware of Apeejay Education’s reputation which is why I decided to enroll my elder one here before Gavit. I was thrilled to see my daughter perform well. This school  focuses not just on academics, as some schools do, but on a holistic approach They emphasise various aspects like extracurricular activities including arts, crafts, dance, sports, and speech competitions which  creates a competitive yet nurturing environment where every student can excel This balanced focus ensures students develop the confidence to face any challenge, which why Apeejay School became my top choice 

How has been Garvit’s experience in the school so far?

Amazing! The standout feature of this school is its emphasis on numerous extracurricular activities, which help children gain confidence in facing large audiences. I’ve seen this transformation in my child. I’ve noticed a similar positive impact on Garvit. Though initially hesitant and reserved, he now actively participates in class activities and has shown improvement. 

Does he feel excited to attend the school?

He is always excited to go to school, no matter what. Currently, the summer break is going on and every day I can see him missing the school routine. This is only because the school has made him feel very comfortable and he loves spending time with his teachers and peers there. 

Are PTMs held at school?

I always attend the Parent-Teacher Meetings (PTMs) held at the schoolI meet with every teacher, whether it’s for extracurricular activities or academic subjects. I’m deeply invested in understanding my child’s performance so that I can provide constructive feedback to support their improvement.

I never view their feedback negatively. I always take it positively to help enhance my child’s development. Moreover, I believe that transparency in PTMs is crucial. Effective communication between teachers and parents should be direct and honest not sugar-coated as genuine feedback is necessary for meaningful progress

Importance of healthy communication between parents and teachers.

It’s a positive aspect because stay-at-home parents often miss out on such opportunities. School events provide a chance for parents to showcase their skills For instance, last year, they organised a 24-hour function involving various activities, including a parent dance. These activities not only motivate parents but also create memorable moments performing alongside their children. It’s a fulfilling experience seeing your child proud of you 

How much would you rate Apeejay?

I would rate the school highly for its extracurricular activities, giving it a nine out of 10. They excel in providing diverse extracurricular opportunities.
