Mr. Suresh,

Most of the info that you are looking for is available on the net in the admissions section of the school’s website. They tell u about the fees on request.
I have a daughter who is in 7th too so let me know and I will do the same to give data points on Greenwood High, which is one of our short listed schools for a mid-year admission for our daughter.

Subject: An Invitation to Compete in a Signature Campaign to eradicate the r’ word (RETARD) and its equivalent in other languages

Dear Madam/Sirs,

The intellectually challenged are one of the most neglected segments of society worldwide. Because of their inability to speak for themselves, they are subjected to much ridicule. The use of the r-word (RETARD) and its equivalent in other languages has gone mainstream… Although many people may not understand the hurtful impact, the truth is, it hurts, even when people do not mean it that way. No matter the usage, the discriminatory impact on those people who are the target use of the word is significant.

The intellectually challenged are extremely capable, wise and have an amazing capacity to GIVE. If you think a “retard” is someone dumb and shallow. They are none of those things, but every time the term is used it tells people it is okay to think of them that way and to keep them on the outside.” Using the “R-word” is a big deal to them….

In Special Olympics in India our athletes from the 30 States and Union Territories have brought home brilliant results at the State, National and International competitions. Recently at the Special Olympics World Summer Games 2007, they won 138 medals, 36 Gold, 45 silver and 67 bronze.

To ensure that we can get through to as many people as possible…To make them aware and to sensitise them to the feelings of the intellectually challenged individual, we are doing a signature drive and for this we are starting with the Youth in schools…our FUTURE!!

We invite you to encourage your students to take the petition forms attached and to innovate and bring in maximum signatures from the students, teachers, families and the community…in their vicinity.

The school with the maximum signatures will get a cheque of Rs. One hundred thousand sponsored by Intel India and a certificate signed by Chairman SO Bharat and CSR Head for Intel, South Asia.

Every school that brings in 5000 and more signatures will get a certificate signed by the Chairman SO Bharat and CSR Head for Intel, South Asia.

We thank you in advance for your valued support,

Sincerely,

SUGANDHA SUKRUTARAJ
(NATIONAL TRUSTEE/BOARD MEMBER)

Thanks Kavita, for the inside feel…
You didnt mention how old is your son.
Its a great a relief to know that you feel that your son is doing well due to the teachers efforts. Do you mean to say its the philosophy of the school to help kids catch up or pay more attention to the kids who are lagging for whatever reason? or does it mean the teachers have greater accountability at Greenwood High or something else?
I do not mean to say what is right or wrong but I am looking at the culture in schools with specific needs of my daughter that’s it. Beacuse that’s what is going to set them apart, otherwise other facilities at schools charging the kind of fees that they do, will be pretty much the same.
My husband will be visiting the school sometime around the 15th of this month and will see how it goes…

We are relocating from US by end of Jan ‘09.
My daughter is in 7th grade and has got used to the very accomodative and “cool” approach of education here. I am looking for a school which gives equal importance to the capabilities of children in academics as well as extra-curricular. I would avoid a school which is obsessed with the % of a child in measuring its own success. My daughter will be miserable giving weekly tests and semesters which will be the only decider for her “worth” in the class and school in general..

Can you parents throw some light on these issues with respect to your experience and a “feel”..for kids in the 6th grade onwards?

thanks.

Hi,

What is the fee structure at Greenwood. Do they have Pre-KG also?
How is the academics? At the end of 12th will the student be capable of competing with any traditional school kids like NPS/DPS etc? I am scared when someone boasts about lots of extra curricular and concrete structures..!
swimming pool…horse riding…????

Thanks

The teachers are very capable Sumi, and more than I can say about the other neighbouring schools where I have had personal experiences. This year they have the IGCSE, AS & A levels taking up their boards. One of the parents whose child is taking up the boards this year says that the higher level teachers are very good and it seems like the school wants seems to be uncompramising in terms of the teachers as this is their first bard year and so want to create a good reputation for themselves.

I’d visited the Greenwood High School last week and was quite impressed with the school facilities. However, I want a feedback on the teachers & teaching styles are at Greenwood High. Also, how are the older kids doing? Are they getting individual attention for their lessons? As parents, what do you feel about the overall development of your child at Greenwood?

I got my children into greenwood this yr and am quite happy about the things going on there. The management seem fairly hospitable and overall I had a good impression about it. I heard the school concentrated more on the average and hardly any importance was given to the above average but it seems like they are working on it. They have enrolled themselves to about three competitive exams etc, and personally I am pleased to see the exposure my son is getting. They facilities also seem to be quite impressive. When I visited the school in may, these facilities were not in place and I am glad to see that they have kept their word. The campus is very impressive although it looks dull from the outside(don’t judge a book by its cover!!!) but is quite spacious and warm inside. I even hear some of the students have been taken to play state level sports this year! Quite an exposure I must say. And seeing all that they offer, it doesn’t seem like a lot to pay(compared to all other international schools here). They principal said they are also affiliated to Cambridge this year as well as ICSE. In fact, 11th and 12th starts this year itself it seems. Although there wasn’t any problem with the books this year(I hear from old parents about some difficulties in this area the previous year) the uniforms seemed quite a nightmare with small shirts and way to big pants. But then again, it is outsourced to ginny and jony and if a leading company like that fails to deliver, we can hardly blame the school. But me choosing greenwood was mainly due to all the extracurricular activities. They have taekwondo, chess, swimming,tennis, classical music, western music and all the other usuals such as soccer, table tennis etc. this is more that I can say about the other schools that I visited. My son also says they are going to have a drama production this year(lion king-circle of life) and is being directed by Mr. Kevin Oliver!(reputed director from dubai whose plays have been houseful on all days) I want to watch it as an audience as much as a parent. I hear that at present only Indian food is being served by as my son says, continental food is being introduced upon the suggestions of the school’s food committee which comprises of elected students from all grades. The boarding, which was introduced this year, seems to be pretty good from what I hear from parents of boarders and they boarders even get non-veg food. But most of all I want my child to be happy and actually look forward to going to school and as greenwood definitely does that, everything else is secondary to me.
I hope my review is usuful to many other parents who are looking for a good place for their child.

We are moving from the US to Bangalore next month, and we visited several schools this week for our daughter (entry into 3rd grade). We settled on Greenwood High for the following reasons:

- good mix of academic vs. extra-curricular

- nice campus with greenery and open air; new facilities coming up for swimming and tennis starting next month. Huge new cafeteria (vegetarian food only) will also be ready for the new school year next month.

- talked to the vice principal and a couple of staff members and got a sense that they really care about nurturing the kids (BTW, they do have a new principal now, but she was out of town).

- class size capped at 24 (four classes max for each grade). The classrooms and furniture are set up for this size and no more.

We also visited these other schools (with quick comments on each):

Inventure — similar to Greenwood, but less facilities (no swimming/tennis yet), and we heard from a couple of friends that the academics are not as strong here. This was our second choice.

TISB — very impressive (world class) campus and facilities, but the high fees (4-6 lakhs per year) doesn’t seem worth it for the lower grades. That’s the feedback from some friends who send their kids here. Might be better if your child is going into high school and has a definite intent to go abroad for college, because they prep you very well for that purpose.

VIBGYOR — very disappointing. The mud road to the school from Airport Rd / Varthur Rd is HORRIBLE. Can’t imagine what it will be like when it rains. That alone crossed the school off our list right away! The school building is small, not as airy/roomy as I would like. The staff was busy sending off kids on a summer camp (day trip), so we couldn’t get to talk much to any of the staff.

Vidyashilp Academy — very impressive campus, and was our first choice, but no admissions to 3rd grade (long waitlist), and in general, it’s very hard to get admissions into the “intermediate” grades of 2 to 7 (unless you are there in person on November 1st for the following year!!).

Vidyaniketan — sister school of Vidyaship, very small campus in a place that looks run down. We walked out within five minutes.

Mallya Aditi — shockingly small campus with minimal facilities, and it’s situated in a terrible location in Yelahanka (choking road access). They didn’t have admissions anyway, but we went just to take a look. I have no idea why this school is so well reputed.

We have had a very disappointing experience with Greenwood. The teaching staff as well as the management has adhoc approach (uniform not given on time, calendar not avaiable on time, inadequate or no communication), not responsive to suggestions or requests (despite having had discussions)…

After a difficult one year we decided to take our kid to a better school…

I have a 7 year old going there. The Principal has left, sure, but at the end of the last academic year. By the start of the new academic year there was a new principal.

I love the chess classes and the abacus that my kid is doing. My kid has been amply encouraged in art and sports (soccer, in particular). I was aware of my child’s artistic talent but soccer was a revelation.

There are things they can do better in but on the whole, after 6 schools my kid has gone to, I like what I see and so does my child.

They have an impressive building but there is really no “fresh approach” here as they advertise. They provide the traditional schooling looking at the homework/classwork my children bring home. Their comparitively high fees seems to increase every year. Also their charges for books etc. seems to have several hidden components with “kickbacks” to the school administration.

pretty good school… i know facilities are lacking somewhat and people do feel disappointed by promise vs delivery but in comparison to other schools at same price points, i think its not too bad

our biggest criteria is a happy kid… we are not overly zealous abt strenuous brilliance inspiring education at age 6… may be it becomes a concern when he gets older but right now he wants to go to school everyday which is a big win right off the bat..
