psbb millenium - searching for parents with kids in this school

Jay,

You are welcome. I got to know the schools when i was searching for schools that were offering french at class 6/7..and that is how all this info.

PSSB millenium is accomodative in the second language. they say that they can help the kid in learning sanskrit instead of hindi or tamil. and they will help in the transition..but luckily for me, i got another school which gave french at class 6. and i have no complaints as of now.

I have been researching the school and found lots of interesting info. on the net. here are some links for those who might be interested.

Learning Leadership foundation runs the PSBB millenium school. They don't seem to have their own website , but they have a detailed page under Educomp's site. LLF is a partner of Educomp, whose partner list is impressive and its listed in NASDAQ
Educomp Solutions Ltd.

Here are some basic info about Shantanu Prakash - key person behind all this
The Telegraph - Calcutta : Jobs

LLF has 2 schools - the other one is in Bangalore and called PSBB Learning Leadership academy
About Us

Educomp's smart_class TM search on google also brings up lots of interesting info.

Hi AbhiV,

PSBB Millenium school has a website..here is the link

The PSBB Millennium School

Hi Friends,

we are in chennai. our children are admitted into the school. staff were efficient and friendly and the school atmosphere was good. students were courteous and not cowed - they all seemed to know the teachers and office staff. school reopens next month. i am keeping my fingers crossed that my children will like the school and it turns out to be a good choice for their education.

cheers,
Abi

hi abi,
Iam from sydney and relocating to pallavaram.
I called psbb millenium last week and they said admissions are closed. Should I persist and wait for an admission or concentrate on any other school?
My son is 4 and will go to LKG.

Hi Thendral,

sorry for the late reply. I have been travelling.
Most schools finish their admission by Jan/Feb. I had applied for PSBB Millennium in Dec 07 itself, gave a letter explaining why we could only come in April for their selection process and got their nod to keep our applications on hold till then.
you could try approching them in person and explain your transfer situation, if you are particular about the school.

good luck,
abi

dear AbiV,
thanx for ur reply. I am trying to contact various schools around pallavaram.
psbb millenium is my first choice. hope i will get a positive reply from them.

Thendral,

Vel's Vidhyashram is one more school you can try which is near pallavaram.
PSBB Millenium, is considerate and you can try again.

hi shanvy,
thanks for your reply. I got some -ve feedback about vels vidyashram. am in a dilemma
rt now. I intend to stay in zamin pallavaram. Is vels vidyashram the only option for me?
psbb millenium is also hard to commute. (My son goes to LKG). am seriously considering of moving to some other locality.

People have been flooding me with information that the school is run as a business.
Any idea how far this is true?

In the schools thread, i observed that you had once written you were not happy with vels vidyashram. any particular reason for this. (you can easily qualify for a doctorate on chennai schools and hence i value your opinion.) I dont want to keep changing schools often. Any middle class school with a decent management and decent facilities and fairly good staff is ok for me. Am also not bothered about CBSE,ICSE or matric. What are the other options I have around zamin pallavaram?

I have booked a place in kidz central kotturpuram for the time being. heard they have a good LKG program. If there are no decent options around pallavaram, i guess am better off packing my bags, leaving my own apartment (which was bought with great difficulties) and move to a rented apartment somewhere.

rt now am !!!!

Hi Thendral,

Commuting to schools from zamin pallavaram will be a little difficult task. That too with a kid going to lkg, I am against it, though I personally know children travelling from chromepet to raja annamalaipuram (Chettinad Vidyashram)

I would say Vel's is fine. It is not too old school. by the time your son will come to a bigger class, the environment and the school would have finished its trial and errors..you can safely have the child in that school..

My children go to a 11 year old school. I personally feel, only 25% the name and the school matter, in today's scenario.. (Again opinions differ..).

Will give you more pointers about the schools in that area...right now a little busy...
