Desperately seeking advise for this myself.

It seems everyone who filled the form is selected. I am yet to find a single parent who filled a form for Saplings and did not receive a confirmation call.

School has impressive teaching staff and facilities for NUR / PREP.

Class 1,2,3 is run in a separate building. Lacks playground , big negative for sports or activities for kids.

4 onwards, move to Bhatnagar , PV (building under construction)

Bhatnagar, VK has a good name.

Any inputs from anyone whose ward is already studying there would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I got my daughter admitted there yesterday, I asked some of the parents picking their children about the status and most of them were happy with their services. Some people mentioned that they do not burden the child at all and studies are not at all the focus of the school, some may take it as positive and for some it can be negative as well. They said for studies you may need to arrange yourself or self study at home but otherwise children learn English quite well and activities and become quite open attitude. The fee structure is a bit higher almost 11k pm with transport.

I also went there few days bk..No doubt the school luks gud, but there r 2 negatives:

Multiple building hop viz., sapling 1 , then sapling 2, then Bhatnagar PV or Manavsthali or Bhatnagar VK.

Secondly curriculum is not very strong + lacks playground so sports are also not strong.

Merely for Speaking skills, personality development and safety the call can be taken.

I also got call from Saplings and i think everyone has. I have no doubts for Saplings. Its a very good school. Thing is they don't have playground. They take students to other building for sports activities.

Thanks Shivangi, that is the biggest apprehension I have about it. Do you know where they take kids to other locations for sports ?

As long as the option is there (even if at alternate location) , rest should be good. I have jsut registered today at Saplings.

They take them to Bhatnagar School building for skating, horse riding etc. I am going to get my child registered tomorrow. No worries i am very much positive about Saplings.

HI

 

I also got my daughter admitted yesterday in Saplings. Good very positive feedback about the school. There new building in Bhera enclave is under construction and will take another 1 year for completion .

 

They are still not sure if they are shifting all the students to new building next year or continue with same buildings . The new school will definatly have all the facilities including ground, table tennis , swiming pool, lawn tennis court . Today also they are managing with little space available with them for sports .

The best part is that they concentrate on over all personality development of child rather that pushing them only towards acedamics. In bigger classes the pressure is entirely towards studies.

Hope this school will help us to make our child educated and smart human beings of tomorrow

I also got mu daughter admitted at Saplings and there is no doubt about the reputation of Bhatnagar Intl school, VK. Infact, post 1st-you have an option to send your kids to VK branch, manav sthali or the new bhera enclave branch.

Are you sure about this Sunny ? From what we were told, Saplings Nur/ Kg , Saplings 2 1,2,3 and then Bhatnagar PV.

I am not in favor of sending my kid 10-15 Km away.
