g about them. I don't want to lose focus in the scary rat race to get to the 'best' school there is out there.
Like EVERY parent, I want to give an uncomplicated, well grounded, rich learning experience to my kids. Experiential learning, good discipline, no stressing out on confused agendas. A school where my kids will enjoy going, and I will know that they are being taught well, being looked after well, and the school authorities are not burdening them down with studies. The faculty is knowledgeable, inspiring, people who are capable of becoming mentors.
The problem is that I don't know much about Gurgaon schools. I am shifting to the city next month. Therefore I am trying to catch up.
Please let me know with your knowedge, how are the those schools above - Ardee, Shikshantar, Scottish High, American Excelsior.
I have been to Shikshantar and Scottish High for a visit before. I somehow didn't have a very good opinion of them. Apart from both of then being money hungry- I saw wrong spellings on the notice board (Shikshantar), loiterinng students in unkept uniforms (Scottish High). I may have mis-judged.
Therefore - please share your experiences.…

believe in rat race, or brand name. I want to look beyond the 'foreign kids pictures' and peer pressure about selecting a school. I want it to be about just plain old rich education, experiential learning, good infrastructure, knowledgeable teachers. I don't want to overwhelm my kids. I want to just let them learn their ABCs in peace. I don't want to bring insecure agendas about the school 'brand' popularity. Not to mention the scary factor of rich kids syndrome. Despite our philosophical approach that it all depends on parents - there is an enormous peer pressure, that we can't ignore.
I guess a lot of schools do an excellent job in PR, media placements, internet - creating that 'good school, international aura' - which may blur our ability to see the 'real' deal. Others may completely miss out on that opportunity and 'appear' to be 'not-so-good' schools. So which are the 'Real' schools? I am sure with so many wonderful schools and visionaries in today's Gurgaon - there already are some great 'Institutions' out there, which we all are looking for.
I visited Shikshantar and Scottish High when I was in India last year. Both of them didn't leave a good impression. I thought that they were all talk and no show. I could easily see the glaring lapses.
My kid recently joined Mother's Pride nursery and contrary to the popular belief (maybe) - I found them to be truly truly amazing (new branch). So I was excited about their extension Presidium (Delhi website looked promising too). And, they have not used money fishing ideas with us YET (again, contrary to popular belief). So I need to know the popular belief about them - education wise, so that I can form better opinion.
In this respect, I would highly appreciate your feedback on schools in Gurgaon. What are your experiences/impressions about the following and WHY:
1) Ardee
2) Shalom
3) Presidium
4) American Excelsior
5) Heritage
6) Shriram
Kindly help me understand your personal experiences with these schools, or any other you may want to recommend.
