Hi,
I want to know whether it is easier to get admission in DAV Velachery Or Arsha Vidya Mandir .I have a three year old daughter.I want to put her in a good cbse school by June 2008.

Hi Shanthi,

Thanks for ur info. I am from South Chennai, Ullagaram & Puzuthivakkam (Near Madipakkam & Nanganallur).

I too heard that DAV is going to open a branch in Pallikaranai. But when i don't know.

Hi smitha,

I would prefer arsha vidya mandir than dav velachery... but last i visited cbse site...arsha had not got affliation and it is still following matriculation when i gave a call...so confirm before...

Hi smrithi,

You can try st.brittos, this is also in velachery. regarding dav velachery/arsha i have given my opinion in the other thread.

Since you are in madipakkam, try modern school in nanganallur. it is good school.

Hi shanvy,

Thank you for your reply. I'll be settling near pursawalkam, which will be closest to kilpauk. There are 4 CBSE schools near kilpauk. They are Rajaji Vidyashram, Bharatiya Vidhya Bavan, Chinmaya Vidyalaya, & Kola Saraswathi. I have absolutely NO IDEA about the performances of these schools. If you can help me out regarding second lang & admission procedure offered in these schools for NRI kids like mine, will be of tremedous help to me. Reg. second lang, I don't insist my kids that they should learn tamil or hindi only. Whichever shld me easier for them, i'll prefer that. Like you said, if sanskrit is going to be better, then, I'll go adhead with that. Thank you for your valuable info.

you are welcome.
Hi all these schools are good. if you are looking into acamedic oriented schools you have taken a correct list. but i think you have some other schools in pursai area. and admissions should be the same in most of the schools. just ask somebody to keep track of the dates for application pick in all. and submit.

exams will be mostly in english, maths and second language. and most schools have the sanskrit as an option from 6th..so may be you could check out these schools for the second language option. give me few days will give you more details.

Hi alll,

This is lakshmipriya.I am very happy to join in this site,
i am having one male child 2 years 4 months old.
actually i want to know the details about the DAV school CBSE.
We are planning to join my son in DAV schools.
so please help me form the below queries...
Age limit for L.K.G my son was born on june 2005
Is he elligible for the next academic year
Are they expecting that house should be near the school?
How can we apply.

Hi Lakshmipriya,

Even I am trying for admission in DAV, Mogappair... I heard from many people that there is a distance restriction for admission into DAV schools... But not sure... About the age limit, many schools take children who complete 3 years as on May 31 to LKG... But there are schools which admits children who completed 3 years on March 31 also... My daughter was born on May 4, 2004 and I am putting her to LKG next academic year, that is June 2008 session, when she will complete 4 years of age....

You can try calling the school directly and find out about the age criteria.... Your child is so small... You can join him in a play school this year and seek admission to LKG next year.... But it is up to you...

hi latamurali

GOOD EARTH SCHOOL - FOR BOYS AND GIRLS

Junior school is near Kishkint(Amusement Park) - pre kg to I std
Senior School in NADUVEERAPATTU VILLAGE - 2ND - 12TH STD

though senior school is 14 kms away from tambaram , it tooks only 20 mts to reach the schoo, since, there wont be heavy traffic,and the atmosphere itself will be different frokm other schools, this doesnot have big big buildings and over strength

Teacher student ration is 1:10

Dr.GAJANANA RAO( Deen of A.G.HOSPITAL, TAMABRAM)
he is the Chairman

GOOD , KIND=-HEARTED AND WELL TRAINED TEACHERS WILL BE THERE
i feel they are the ASSETS OF GOOD EARTH

so, the school will provide good Infrastructure facility which will be hygenic in all aspects

Main thing is this school is following WORDS OF j.krishnamurti

NO REWARDS - NO PUNISHMENTS
NO FEAR - NO TEAR

u can check with the website also its www.goodearthschool.org

There will be very friendly environment, and very affectionate student - teacher relationship

No heavy homework or writing works, they almost teach in ABL method that is ACTIVITY BASED LEARNING and take childrent to lot of FIELD TRIPS for practical learning and give INNOVATIVE PROJECT WORKS , NO EXAMS till 5th Std.

Students will talk Good English

They, like other schools ahve lot of extra curricular activities

They provide HEALTHY AND HYGENIC LUNCH to students and it is compulsory,where they teach TABLE MANNERS AND MAKE THEM TO EAT ALL VEGETABLES AND FRUITS AND ALL FOOD VARITIES

And, my son is studying there from the beginning , now he is in 3rd standard

if u want to knw anything else than this, pls feel free to contact me in PM ALSO

Iam in East Tambaram(omnly few kms from Selaiyur) so u can contact me for anything,i will definitley help you by all means
