How did you apply to this School?

I got in by taking the entrance test.

What are some of the good things about the faculty of your School?

The faculty in my school is very open, engaging, and interactive with the students. The faculty also started a group of students who have volunteered to help the maids in our school to learn how to read and write English and Hindi and teach them a little introduction to maths.

The faculty has a friendly nature and if any student needs help with any sort of problem in the school they will help and not just in school but with our problems we have counsellors who help the students with their mental health and the faculty started a program called β€œPeer educators program” for the students who volunteer and help their younger students or peers with any sort of discomfort or mental issues.

What are some of the bad things about the faculty of your School?

There aren’t many but one of them can be about some teachers who can be favorable to the students who are better in studies than to students who are new to the board. This kind of thing happens in limited amounts but it could happen this should not hurt the whole faculty’s contribution as they work hard and let not one apple decay the whole basket.

What are some of the good things about the infrastructure of your School?

The school’s infrastructure is very good as the environment is open and the field is big for many activities to take place. The whole school is fully air-conditioned and that helps the students go through summers with a breeze, not only just the campus but the buses are also fully air-conditioned.

What are some of the bad things about the infrastructure of your School?

The open environment can allow some students to leave their classes or skip them as there can’t be someone in every corner. The infrastructure is great but for some, it may not be great as not everyone likes openness and some may not prefer it as much as we do.

What are some of the good things about the teacher-to-student ratio of your School?

The teachers are very helpful and reachable at any time as the teacher insists students ask any question 24/7 just so that they can be fully prepared for their unit tests and exams. The teachers can be strict but they are strict in a way that benefits the student himself. The teacher cracks jokes now and then to keep the class focused.

What are some of the bad things about the teacher-to-student ratio of your School?

Some teachers can be boring and would not care much about whether the class is focused or not this isn’t the case for every teacher but some teachers can be so boring the class becomes uninteresting and non-interactive. The teachers might go beyond the NCERT and teach more to the students this is good however it may affect the studies and mash things up.

What are some of the great initiatives/amenities offered in your School?

There are many amenities in our school as there are many events for the students to take part in and the school focuses both on studies and co-curriculum. There are focused activities for the students to join and do in the first period of the school.

What are the things you would have liked to change about your School if you could?

I love the way the school is and I wouldn’t change anything but if I did get a choice I would choose to change the environment in the busses as it is too open and more strictness should be there rather than what it is currently because the students may use it to their advantage in a bad way.

How likely are you to recommend this School to other students?
