Schools in chennai

Hi,
I have 4 yr old daughter,We havent put her in creche/montessori yet here(dublin). But we r planning to go back to chennai by first week of april for good. Can anyone let me know the list of best schools in chennai.
I am willing to put her in don bosco/good shepard which is far from our residence though.i heard its very hard to get an admission in such schools,my concern is do they consider NRI's?
Also,pls let me know the formalities.I have to start from the scratch.
Quick response would be appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,
Madhu

Hello Chennaites,
I will be moving to chennai after a gap of 16 years!My daughter will be needing admission in Eleventh standard.She has been in Maharashtra board and giving her boards Next Month.What is the admission procedure,Application form details...

My parents stay in Mylapore and i prefer the details of schools till Adyar.it has to be CBSE/ICSE as she has Hindi and French in her secondary level.Venkat has already moved in and has no much knowledge of the schools.Appa is too senior to run around with out details.Hope to get some help in this regard.
Thanks so much to have a link pertaining to schools.

Jsri,

How is aparna preparing yaar.

Getting admission into the 11th is a bit tricky. most schools are fussy about giving admission in the 11th to the extent there was this school which denied admission to its own 10th student for want of better marks??(that most of them had above 80 is a different story..)

Hey buddy this is not to scare you, this is to tell you be prepared to put in a fight.

the safest bet would be try getting into Kendriya vidyalaya's which will definitely not say no for 11th. but it is cbse.

you have lot of state board schools.

After maharashtra board state board, state board should be more helpful. most of the schools will start placing ads in the papers. just ask your appa to check the local mylapore talk/adayar times and all. and you can pick the application from the schools.

Hello Shanvy,
You remembered me!thanks so much.I was pleasently shocked to see you remember Aparna too.....That is a Moderator and a Good friend.

Just spoke to appa.Form to kalalaya school has been submitted.spoke to him about JK school,adyar.They are giving out forms.Yes i want a Cbse icse......State will have Tamil?Thats alien to her.Worst come,i will be back in Mumbai for her junior college!how much of stress to go thru??!

Aparna had scored 79%in prelims.......About 92%is what is targeted.Lets see.She is doing her best....No help from my side but to be around in the house.I am sending a PM to you.Check it out later when done with Moderation.Bye and happy to meet you here.

love,

Hai!!

Arsha vidya mandir is affliated to CBSE and their first batch of Xth is appearing this year. The teaching is fantastic. The max strength in a class is 28. There are regular tests and no exams till the Vth. But to top it all, admission is very difficult. My older daughter is in AVM.
