Best way to gauge school is talk to parents at the time of disbursal
Rest parents can share reviews with first hand info…
and quarterly fees of Rs 32k. Further, quarterly fees would be around rs 30-35k which I understand is normal looking the pattern gurgaon schools are following.
Further, regarding scottish high & GD goenka, I heard that these are more commercial schools and main concentration is on money only in long turn.
I have not have any idea about Shiv Nadar school & LV.
Also, you mentioned that there are more facilities in DAV, can you elaborate a little. Further, we are far away residing from DAV school so is it worth while to give chance?
Thanks for your support in this regard.

ry in 2014-15 session as I do not see any benefit in waiting for a year and I have heard that few schools do have flexible age criteria. Would request the moderator/members to share the Age criterion of schools in Gurgaon specially the ones mentioned here. The excel sheet available doesnt have full information. Some of the schools which are in my mind are:
1. Shivnadar
2. Kunskapsskolan
3. Shikshantar
4. Ridge Valley
5. Gurgaon Valley
6. Suncity
7. Lotus Valley
8. Banyan Tree World School
9. Heritage
10. Shri Ram
Also, if there are any other school anyone knows apart from these which have flexible age criteria, then please let me know.…
ctively. I also do not understand the hype around Shiv Nadar as their academic records are very average. 1st decision to take is do you want IB or CBSE/ICSE.
If it's IB you want, I only see Pathways and Scottish as top options. Pathways' locations are bad (near Sohna and Gurgaon-Faridabad road) and sending a 3 year old there is tough. So only option is Scottish High. I did look at Scottish's ICSE results for 10th and 12th and found them pretty average. Only 48% (31/65) > 90% in 12th and 61% in 10th. I also enquired with parents who's kids study there and found the extracurricular infra which is super hyped is not really used as well. Being a Day boarding though is good for busy parents as kid spends pretty much all day at the school. So we got admission offer within 2 days of applying to Scottish, but declined.
So we looked at ICSE, and there are only 2 other real good options - Shriram and Shikshantar.
Our Shikshantar experience was a disaster. Their 2 hour orientation session went on for 4 hours and the draw of lots meant to finish in 1.5 hrs was a mess with Parents shouting their kids names, software glitches eventually ending in the Principal literally scolding parents followed by a Yoga session to calm every one down. I am not joking, it was absolutely hilarious and showed the unpreparedness for use of technology. Speaking to parents we also found no swimming pool, no foreign language and poor infra overall. Great teachers, very committed and focused on helping the child be happy is what we heard. So to take a call we looked at their academic results. ICSE 10th and 12th was pretty ok, better than Scottish high, but nowhere close to Shriram.
Since Shriram announces results on 12 Sept, we moved on to look at CBSE schools (no preference for ICSE, just the way we thought about it).
CBSE choices are many. The top options we heard of everywhere were : Heritage, Shriram, Suncity. We also heard about Shiv Nadar, but on seeing their 10th and 12th results 44% students (>90%) in 10th and 46% students (>90%) in 12th, we dropped it right away.
The other set of options were DPS-45, Lotus Valley. We also added MRIS basis discussions here. And on looking at academic results we found Amity and DAV Sector 14 good too.
But Amity, DAV, Salwan are too traditional for our taste. DPS-45 results are in September so that decision has to be taken late. So we applied to all others (except the traditional schools).
We got admission offers from SunCity, Lotus Valley & Heritage already and expect to get it in DPS etc coz they are nearby.
One thing I can tell is distance is not that big a factor. SunCity is 14km from our home. They seem to look at Parent Profile and the answers you write in essays. We did a school visit to SunCity and found the campus good. Their academic results are not so great though 45% (>90%) in both 10th and 12th. And of course the distance was far too.
So Lotus Valley. Great Academic results : 71% students (>90%) in 12th and 62% (>90%) in 10th. Good campus, spoke to the principal, liked them. Everything looks good.
Heritage though appears in a different league. To understand why, read their book "Surival of the Humanest" and their vision of the skill kids need in 2035 when they graduate. Loved it and also their Project based Experiential learning theme. This seems a good crossover of IB kind of experiential learning (also advocated by the new Education policy) and the academic rigor of CBSE. But hold on, our only doubt was , does all this experiential stuff bring the same academic results as traditional schools. And this is what I found 12th results - 74% students (>90%) and 100% (>75%). These are the best results across all schools. So the choice was very clear.
We've gone ahead with Heritage and recommend anyone getting into Heritage or Shriram to just take it. Shriram results are best in ICSE 68% (>90%+) in 12th and 77% (>90%) in 10th.
This shows the quality of students who come to these schools and hence if your kid is in Top 5, he/she is in Top students nationally as well and not just a local champ.
For rest, I would recommend Lotus Valley for its good academic results and great infra.
SunCity is good too overall if you don't opt for traditional schools.
But if traditional schools are ok with you then DPS-45 and Amity look great and are much more affordable than Top 3 schools.
My own research shows Scottish, ShivNadar are great on infra but not on academic results, which is eventually important. They invest a lot in marketing so do your research before opting.
