What parents liked
"The teachers are dedicated and supportive. The school provides a balance of academics with a variety of extracurricular activities."
— Sneha Deshmukh (Ezyschooling, 2025)
"...the teachers (especially in junior classes) are very much co-operative... Considering the amount of freedom you get here, it is one of the best schools in which you can admit your child (till 9th preferably)..."
— Karn Pant (iCBSE alumnus)
"Co-educational English medium public school providing quality education with inclusive and modern boarding facilities."
— Justdial
Concerns raised
"No subject expertise — Highly priced."
— Justdial user (Nov 2024)
"Called for a job interview and then says the seat has filled up — absolutely worthless hiring team."
— Justdial user (Nov 2024)
"Things start getting worse in senior classes (9th onwards)... quality of teachers reduces considerably. They do not teach much in the class and would try to persuade you to join their tuition classes..."
— Karn Pant (iCBSE alumnus)
