Comment: Pomp-n-show school, parent friendly and less on academics & quality teachers. High on fees particularly for books/uniform and school bus. Ample opportunity to show-case non-academic talents. Prompt in communication and IT savvy.
Located in a very calm and serene residential locality. Ideal teachers-child ratio. Air-conditioned classrooms. Wide-spread coverage of transport facility. Plethora of extra-curricular activities that include western dance, classical dance, ballet, karate, Silambam, yoga, aerobics.
