  Writing this as a mother who trusted this school with her child's future — and deeply regrets it. We paid over ₹1 lakh as annual fees for KG, and the experience as a parent has been nothing short of disappointing. Basic issues like uniform availability are poorly managed, non-teaching staff are rude and dismissive, and there is an ongoing blame game among teachers rather than any sense of accountability. In KG1, I noticed some gaps in my son's learning but chose to trust the teachers when they assured me he was attentive and learning well. His progress card showed "Exceeds Standard" grades across the board — so I stayed patient. By KG2, I began noticing that he was confused about very basic things — like English alphabets. I raised my concern with his teachers, the HOD, and the Principal. Their response? That I was over-worrying, that he was doing just fine, and that there was no need for extra classes or any intervention. That year too, he graduated KG2 with glowing progress card scores. Then came Standard 1 — and everything fell apart. Because his foundation was never properly built, he struggled to keep up with the syllabus. The teachers, instead of guiding me on how to support him at home, shifted to blame mode. They offered a "stay back" option — the very thing I had requested a year ago and was told was unnecessary. Even after the stay back, there was no visible improvement. When I sat down with the teacher and Principal and asked them directly — "What specific steps have you taken to strengthen his foundation? What measures have been put in place?" — they had no answer. None. And finally, they told me flat out: "We cannot do anything more." So who loses here? Only me and my son. I lost a significant amount of hard-earned money in a school that focuses more on marketing itself — putting children on stage for activities that attract new admissions — than on actually educating them. This is my personal experience. There may be parents who have had positive experiences, and I respect that. But if you are considering this school, please look beyond the videos, the infrastructure, and the polished branding. Meet parents who already have children there. Ask them. The amenities will not teach your child. A well-dressed teacher is not necessarily a good one. Choose your child's school based on the quality of teaching — nothing else matters more.
