Hi Gauri,
Im also looking Feedbacks for both these schools .
In My Opinion Father Agnel is more disciplined School, with more focus on Acedemics .
While APJ, is an overall school with everything, Acedemics, Sports , Brand Name .

Hi Gauri,
My daughter has got selected both in Amity Internationa School, Vasundhara and Father Agnel School Noida (only schools applied, we have not tried Apeejay). After all headstorming and advices, we had choosen Father Agnel above Amity as had got very disciplined, good academics and importantly valued education philosophy. Although it is missionery school towards which we were also more inclined.

I guess its Apeejay and not APJ from Kalam? so, I would not rate it as brand name...

Ya Gauri,
I can say that you had taken wise decision! We will have not to regret for admitting our kids at Agnel.

I do believe in " Discipline and acdemics for sure is what i want in his/her early childwood education". Actually, now days many of schools around had made mess of evrything by putting so many things on little kids shoulders where in they really have to established theirselfs...... thats my point of view!

See you around...

Hi Gauri,
My daughter is also selected for APJ, As of now we'll be submitting fees in APJ also and most likely we'll finally opt for APJ only.
How about u , Need to ask u if u have any info regarding Refundable amount if we cancel admission in Father agnel.

Hi Gauri,
Thanx for the Info below ,
Believe everybody submitted 20K for admission in Fthr Agnel.
So , u r saying they'll refund 15k out of that.
If that's so, Thats Excellent on the schools part.
Amity Vasundhra were asking 51 k for dmission and the rufundable amount was just 8k.
So because of Distance majorly u r deciding to stick to father agnel. Agree Father Agnel is also a good school, A No-Nonsense school.
I think ill finally opt for APJ and cancel my admission in Father agnel.

Hi Priyanka ,
Thanx , Ill Like to Inform every body to pls call School or visit to check ur results .
Here's My Story.
My 2nd Interaction was on 30th sept./ Regtn No. 571 .. Fron last two days from 4th/5th/6th, every body were getting calls from the school to confirm the admission.
We were upset as we didnt got call, Somebody told me that they have checked from school and they have finished calling selected parents upto regtn no. 600, who are selected .
Now we were sure that we are not selected .
Just today afternoon i thought ill call school but it was 3 pm , I dont know why but i requested the Gurad who picked the phone to transfer my phone to reception.
She asked my regtn no. n i was not aware . I hung up, called my wife , confirmed our no. , n again call up school again requested the guard to transfer to reception,
She told me ur child is selected , we tried to call ur nos. but they were not reachable . But my Phone is never non reachable .
So Moral of the story is , keep tracking the school , keep calling school.
Priyanka , on daily basis , keep calling school.
