Can I get some more details about this school?Upto which class they are having?Do they have a play ground?Is this the same mgmt of Bethany,Koramangala?
Hi, when do the application forms for Nursery 2014-15 in Bethany come out? My daughter will turn 3 in Feb '14 and we're looking for CBSE/ICSE schools in the Sarjapur/Marathahalli stretch. We stay near Bellandur and would like some mainstream school that have a daycare facility after school hours for junior kids. Suggestions/tips are most welcome.
There is Bethany School in 8th Block, Koramangala. We used to stay very near by. It follows ICSE syllabus and also Kannada in some classes. I wonder if the new Bethany is a branch of the same school (do they follow same old ICSE or CBSE for a change)
Currently the school has up to 4th Standard and they are planning to expand upto 6th next year. They have a small kids play area with pool and building a BIG playground which will be operational next year. School is the same management as Bethany High, Koramangala. Yes they follow ICSE sylabbus right from UKG. It is a pretty new campus which has lots of scope of improvement in infrastructure.
Samyu, which class you have planned to put your son? I have planned to put my daughter in Nursery (which is equal to LKG).
Ofcourse comparing with Koramangala main branch, its a new premise with lots to do, got to know they have bought another 2.5 acres adjacent plot for playgorund, which as said earlier by Pradeep would be operational soon.
Samyu, Admin fees told at Koramangala was 60K and fees approx was 60k annually, you sure its 90k ?
Others please give in more detailed reviews and input about Bethany over all. It would help all the addmsn seeking parents :-)
So as we interacteed in other post also, how does Bethany Sarjapur sounds as a option to you in my case, if in the end Sarjapur commuting is not avoidable.
Also I requested for your 2nd level / tier suggestion n inputs of schools, apart from NPS, Bethany n Greenwood u suggested.
Could you please confirm the school fees, teaching, academics and extra activities of Bethany school, Sarjapur Road? As i am planning to get my kid admission done for next year Grade 1.
Bethany Sarjapur Branch is overall decent. School fees comes around 1.2L excluding Transport. There are some extra curricular activities like Music and Abacas. Teaching is ICSE syllabus so good and vast. Guess it is growing fast ...
We need suggestions and reviews on Bethany sarjapur school , I would like to know the focus of the school, whether extra curricular activities and after that only academics.
please provide your valuable feedback as early as possible, we are already 1 week late to respond them.
Feedback needed on 1. how is educations? 2. infrastructure? 3. teachers attitude towards kids and parents? 4. extra curricular activities in higher class? 5. the academic standards
1. Syllabus is ICSE so obviously vast, not like Koramangala but yes education is good
2. The first 10th std went out this year, overall each standard has 3-4 section. Nice small ground in the front and big one behind. Decent infra
3. Teachers are good
4. Not much they do have it part of curriculum like Music, Arts, Abacus etc
5. The recent 10th result is good and topper from here compared to Koramangala. Only this year they are giving more writing during normal days a academic is good
Hi Prabhu,
Does your child go to Bethany Sarjapur now?
Could you give me a latest feedback about the school, it would be helpful as im considering Bethany sarjapur for my ward. You mentioned the syllabus is vast and not like koramangala? Isn't it the same management at sarjapur as koramangala?
Any idea why is that the koramangala branch has high demand for seats but the school has no seats available mostly for Jr 1 ,where as sarjapur always has seats available ? ( could it be due the shear size of the campus and multiple sections available for the same grade at sarjapur).
How is the teacher student rapport and is the quality of teaching good?
I heard the school gives too many holidays and no home work?
Do they give importance to extra curricular activities and inter school competition?
Thanks
I am planning to send my kid to Bethany Sarjapur. Could someone share their views on this school in terms of 1. academics 2. extra curricular activities. 3. Academic performance of students recently passed out in 10th grade
We recently visited the school premises on Sarjapur road. Infrastructure wise, it seems to be ok. They have a big building with 2 floors. First floor has class rooms for nursery-5th class and second floor has class rooms for remaining classes. Each room has a capacity of 30 children (12-15 tables with 2 kids per table). There are 4 sections per class on average. There is a play ground in front of the school with artificial grass as shown on the school website. There is a swimming pool (a small one) and play equipment for the little ones (the ones we usually see in apartments). The fees are as follows:
1. admission fee: 1.05 lakhs (one time). can be paid in installments (admission time + 3 installments) 2. tution fees: 1.6 lakhs. can be paid in installments (4 installments) 3. uniform,shoes,books,transportation, others: 60-65k 4. no sibling discount 5. 5-10% annual increment
So, the total fees are 3.3 lakhs for the first year, and 2.3 lakhs from the next year onwards. These fees are for grade-2. But they said its more or less the same for other grades.
Looking at the previous comments, the school seems to increase the fees consistently. Someone posted the fees 8 years back (Fee- Admin - 65000, Fee - 90000). So the current fee can be arrived at with 7% annual increase (approx). So if you enroll your child in grade-1, expect the fees to double by the time the child reaches grade-10.
There is an entrance test for higher grades followed by interaction with the child. First we have to fill the admission details on their website and the test will be one week after that.
Thought of sharing these details with other parents on this forum so they can make informed decisions.
Hi, Have you taken admission in Bethany ? Please let me know. For how long do they keep their admission open ? Since I am trying for multiple schools, wanted to check when do they close on admission?
Hello Sir/Madam
I am looking for a feedback on Bethany High Sarjapur. We are new to Bangalore and about to join my kid in UKG in the upcoming Academic year. Request you to provide your experiences with the school especially on Academics and Extra curriculars. The website doesn't mention Lower Kindergarten or upper, but they cite it as Per Nursery, Nursery and Jr 1. I am confused what does Jr 1 means (LKG or UKG). If it is LKG, there is no option to choose for Jr 2 (supposed to be UKG). Pls provide your experiences so as to help us make a better decision
