What with all the classes been air-conditioned (in a city like Bangalore)... Hence we decided not to look at this school seriously.

Gopalan School does not have good feedback too. The good schools in the Bangalore East area are FAPS, Baldwin, Bishop Cotton, St: Josephs Indian & Boys Schools, NPS, Shishu Griha.....

As somebody here said ... lots of commercialisation is prevelant in these schools too. Nowadays only Kendriya Vidyalaya's, Sainik & Govt. Schools are the odd ones out. :)

Hi Praveen,

Thanks for the Reply .. But just this weekend we took the admissions for my son in VIBGYOR. Yes I too had similar doubts if this school is more for rich kids but I got to talk to a teacher of DPS and a friend of her whose kid studies in 4th std in vibgyor. They gave very good feedback and the mother was very happy with the school .. After talking to them I made up my mind and closed on admissions.
With the number of flats coming up in marathahalli which is mostly of software crowd I feel this school will typically have their kids going to this school .. and very few NRI kids in the next 1 or 2 years.
Also we got to talk to teacher and director in vibgyor and we discussed in detail the curriculum and activities in LKG and UKG .. and I was kind of happy with what they said.

Anyways things may not be as told .. so I shall try for LKG and if need arises I may change school.

Regading Gopalan ..yes I too heard there are problems though i liked their new campus... NPS - nobody knows how the selection is ...


Thanks,
Priya

Hi,

One of my colleague was considering admission for his daughter in VIBGYOR but he dropped the idea because it seems they still have to get permission for 10th std.

Can anyone clarify this please?

Hi,

My son is going to Vibgyor since June this year. He is very happy and I too dont have any major complaints. We had some small issues with bus but I believe this could be just a starting trouble and will get sorted out.

Regarding 10th std .. I am not too worried abt it as of now as my son is only LKG .. I believe school will get necessary permissions as I see there are already students in 8th std .. so after 9th where will they go ? I am sure parents of these kids will put required pressure on school.

Having said that I will wait for him to finish UKG and then will take a call ...

Hi Priya,

Thanks for the clarification.

Hi Prabha,
Some of the +ve points I see in LKG are:
They teach more of general stuff not just ABCD and 1,2,3
Like 1st month theme was seasons ... they talked abt seasons in gr8 details like clothes worn for a particular season ..fruits found in paricular season and so on .. they might have talked abt eskimos .. igloo and all bcoz I see my son talking abt it
2nd month the theme was body parts .. again they talked abt all body parts including brain ..heart ..lungs etc .. and healthy food , maintaining clean body etc etc

I like this approach and the workbook (activity book ) also I liked as there is a lot of drawing and colouring other than writing alphabets.

Anyways you can talk to more parents before taking a call.
