I would like to answer this anonymously because my school keeps a track of its comments(I think).
I have studied there for 10 full years i.e from 2009–2019 and I can say that it is one of the most hypocrite and money-looting school in Odisha. Which charges approx. 1 lakh rupees per annum from LKG onwards
Its chairman is one of the most black money holders in Bhubaneswar and there is no scope regarding any extra-curricular activities, most of the swimming periods, horse-riding periods, music periods, art periods etc. are cancelled due to so-called ‘study periods’.
The teachers, Principal, and all the other staff promote rote learning like hell. Since the old principal Harish Sanduja left the vice-principal became the Principal Senior. He is one of the most stupid principals of all time who does not even know how to talk in English properly, being the head of an international school.
The teachers have no enthusiasm for teaching and cannot control the class.
They charge you a hell lot amount for food services but the food quality is below shit.
They will charge you approx. 5000 bucks for the shitty oily food they give. Even if you don’t opt for this they will still charge you Rs.2000.
No real-life experience, no proper practical knowledge, only complete your homework and get good marks in the and then show off level-1000000.
They even charge a whole lot of money for books, stationery, and other items, basically the most stupid and hypocrite school of Odisha with 0 ethics.
I would say a government village school gives better experience and education than that.
PS: Since I studied there from a child I grew closer of it’s safer atmosphere and cleanliness and then my parents hesitated to send me to any other school since it is one of the safest and clean schools of India. My parents slogged for 10 years. Because of this I became an introvert and cannot adapt to manage people.
