Our son goes to LKG, Presidency East, Kasturinagar. In 1 year experience, we find the school to be good in academics, co-curricular activities and supportive environment/culture. Teachers and Managements are child and parents friendly. They are open to suggestions and already implemented some of our suggestions.

Good luck.

Folks: Came across this review from a parent about Gear Innovative School. Hope you find it useful.

• I've heard and read only good things about Gear Innovative International School. However, strangely something about the school has always put me off. This was one of the first names I heard from people who live in my neighborhood. A few kids from our apartment study there...

Pupil Tree is easily the best day care centre in Bangalore – be it quality of teaching, infrastructure, location, school design or facilities. Everyday, my son talks about what he did at school and how much fun he had! 

As a parent, I couldn’t ask for more. Three cheers to Pupil Tree.

Hi,

I think I should share my good experience about the admission at Confident-GEAR Montessori school.
 

We have heard only good things about GEAR from other parents and internet. So decided to approach the school for Mont admission.  So we went to the school located off-sarjapur road. The security officer told us we need to submit the enquiry/admission  form first. We have collected the form which costed Rs20
( School admssion form for Rs.20 in Bangalore??. It was a suprprise to me. I have paid 500Rs in another school and later decided not to proceed  )

We can download the form from the website and send via e-mail too. We prefered the old method of filling the application by hand and submitting it directly at the school. Within 2 days we got a call to attend the meeting with Principal.  It was an afternoon session and I have reached well in time. We have completed the registration. Like me there were other parents to attend the meeting. In this meeting Principal explained  about the school, philosophy, curriculum, fees etc. It was a good interactive session and a chance to understand more about the school to take the final decision. After this meeting we were given a speficied time within which the admission formalities to be completed. In the next meeting we met the Principal with our child and the admission process is completed.

Some positives which I would like to mention

• We liked the simple gurukul approach combined with latest teaching methodologies.
• Teaching is not by rtote method.
• No boosting about the school or facilities.
• The admission process is very open and transparent. There were nothing hidden.
• Also it was very systematic.
• The admission is first come basis. There is no interview for Mont0 admission.
• No money making business of charging huge amount for admission forms and then registration

How to reach Confident-Gear Montessori, Sarjapur

• From Varthur, Whitefield: Drive towards TISB and reach the Dommasandra junction. Take left and drive approx 3km towards Sarjapur. On the right side Confident Orion and Kristal appartments are there. The school is located 100m down on the left side.

• From outer ring road:
  Drive towards sarjapur after Wipro corp office. Reach Dommasandra junction. Then proceed straight towards sarjapur.

Thanks and Regards.
 

Do any one know wther NPS-Kormangala have started short listing for nusery??

My two boys attend Gear 1st and 5th standard.  I am very happy with the school except for not able to retain teachers. Frech, Science and Hindi teachers are dropping like flies from the school. I was told by a teacher, that lack of teachers and their demand for teaching additonal classes is the issue. As a school, its very good so far.

My younger son went to Gear Montessori...can't stop raving about it. Their higher education is where I am worried. Feel like we are going into unchartered waters.

This Play School & Day Care is excellent.
Good Teachers & trained people to take care of your little ones.
My son speaks a lot & everyday he comes home learning new things.
Its not just learning, he also knew where & how to apply them.
I am very much impressed by the way they patiently teach toilet & eating habits.
I am much relieved parent after having my son at Prahalath.

We had interview for nursery admission in NHVPS last week. I must say it was a nightmare. Since we are residing in rajarajeshwarinagar it was very important for us to get admission in that school. We were following up from last year.
                              
                           On the day of interview, the moment we entered into principal’s chamber she had “Not to give admission” attitude towards us. She stated questioning me and my husband. She went on finding mistakes in whatever we spoke. After intogerating about us and our family she said she will get back to us and asked us to leave. We waited for a day and finally called the school to know that our application is rejected.

                              I and my spouse work in good organization with decent salary. Our Child is very active and social. We stay within 2 kms of the school. We have good family background. We both are very soft spoken. Then what should be reason for the rejection? A BIG QUESTION

                               I think she had already decided whom to give admission and not give. Call for interview was just a gimics.2 of my friends attended the interview same day and their profile is same as that of ours. Only difference is that they belong to principal’s (Rama Ranganathan) Caste. Is she caste biased? If yes then she is doing wrong .She has no rights to so and I think school management should pitch in.
                             
                                 There are no rules and regulation in India. In US you can’t reject admission to school without valid reason. People who stay in that area should be given preference if they are capable of paying the fees.

If somebody from management of NHVPS is reading my blog I request them to give a thought about Principal Mrs. Rama Ranganathan.

I am not writing this with anger that my child didn’t get admission .I just want to create awareness about what Mrs. Rama is doing. I am sure many parents would have gone through this pain. I am raising voice behalf of them.

                           MRS Rama, If you are reading this I would request you to, not to do this in future. For every parent their child’s future is very important .By doing this you are making them to suffer with guilt that because of them their child couldn’t get admission to the school. Me and my husband are suffering from same guilt

Hi,

I felt the principal is more concerned with the parents than child if one of the parent is in onsite or back from onsite or child had done his/her schooling in onsite then your kid will  definetly get the admission else principle(lady ) will never admit your kid for school even if your kid is eligible  it depends on status not kid .

Thanks and regards,
