Reviews & Ratings
Overall a good institution. Communication with parents could be faster, but the academic quality is very good.
Faculty explain concepts clearly and the weekly tests helped my son a lot. Doubt-clearing sessions are very helpful.
We shifted to this school last year and the difference is clear. Sports and cultural activities are encouraged.
My child has improved a lot in confidence and communication. Teachers give individual attention and the parent-teacher meetings are very useful.
The labs and library are well maintained. Homework load is reasonable and the school conducts many competitions.
