@K.K.Reddy

I completely agree with your statement. School campus has nothing to do with education. Having infrastructure in acres and hi-tech luxurious facilities doesn’t really matter a lot for a kid in india who has to mix up with other indian kids. A/C Class rooms, A/C Buses? To me those are the least important things when I consider a school.Any management can be behind the school. But what matters finally is the principal and the staff who is imparting the education to the little ones. They should be the role models for the child.
Students may not interact with the the management folks and they even need not know who is the investor.

Thanks

But campus does not give education. There has to be education system, which is really lacking. I think school Principal should have a big role to run the school not the school management. NOT CEO or other Army persons.

hello, indus school have more cons than pros, i made a mistake to put my child in the school. firstly the education is not strong, children are happy there because they have a lot of sports and hobbies, etc but education is not good, i should i say the money we were paying was not worth it.
school bulding is nice all green , nice trees nobody can denied that but the education is very low. teachers are not professionals i should not say all of them but i know they put a counsellor as a math teacher and she didnt have the qualifications for that. Teacher are not happy either they are leaving the school too. Foreigners teacher leaving because the school adm lied to them and they are paying what they told them in the beginning , that i know because my friend was working there she were from spain and they promised her a ticket back to her country every year and then they told her no from the first year , they played with their words in the contract.
and so on.
i can not tell you which school is best but definetly indus is not in the list.

Thank you Mr. Swaminathan

I still would like to know, if any one has joined the kids for Boarding in Indus, and what would be the living conditions there, we are planning to stay in Jayanagar, which might be too far for the school. Please suggest.
Thank you.

This is in response to Sunita’s query. Please check my and anair’s comments which are recent ones (mine was posted abt 2 weeks ago).
We are both parents at Indus fm this year 2008-09.

As I hv stated earlier the school management is very friendly and quite responsive to queries etc., but some systems still need to be put in place.
Campusis better than any other I have seen in B’lore.
Sports need ot be beter organized, some teachers are new. Distance is a factor, but they have a big bus fleet. Bus trips last fm 1 hr to 20 mins depending on which part of B’lore u r located. Better if u r in the HSR layout, Outer Ring Road, Marathahalli, Koramangala area.

Hi,

We are planning a move from US and liked this school a lot when we went for a tour. All the comments I see here are more than a 1 year old. please let me know, if this is a good school for boarding or is day school is better. Also, if anyone know of a parent I can contact personally either email or phone number, who has kids going to this school, I really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,

The school management is friendly and respond to queries promptly. Lovely campus. But systems are yet to be put in place, communications channels need to improve. Sports activities not very well-planned or organized !

Hi! Our children have recently joined Indus… the drive is pretty long-ish and can get quite tiring. We live on the outer ring road. The school looks good and promises much so we’ve joined with much expectation. Here’s to good new beginnings!

Hi all,
I am planning to move to Bangalore by august and would like to send my child to Indus and I too haven’t come across any reviews from parents of Indus. If any one has any more details I would really like to get more information about the academics.

@Amy:

There are not many groups available on indus. Here is one for which you will have to request membership (might be open to only Indus parents): http://groups.google.com/group/indus07?lnk=srg

You can pose your questions here and we will see how best to answer it.

Hi Vikas, Thanks once again for your replies.
FYI, I’m also looking for an active site where parents discuss their ongoing feedback about Indus.
I have never come across any. Even the site you have mentioned is the same as what I tried, didn’t get to see more than a very few emails.
Pls let me know if you know of any.
Thanks!

Here are some discussions on Indus international:

From: info_r2i

We were in Bangalore for a week for our pre moving tour of city. We visisted Indus Intl as well. The school offers very good facilities to kids. We took a tour of the school and liked it alot. We know 2 families(not direct friends)who send their kids there and are happy. But we also heard from my husband’s co worker that they have some serious managment problems going on….don’t know how serious and what are its impacts. Other that long commute time for kids(1 hr from city) and higger education cost, there was nothing else we didn’t like.

Message 2 in Discussion

Indus is truly a very nice school but is very expensive - if I am right, 3.5 L per year per child. We know a family in our building who send their 2 kids there. Correct me if I am wrong. Access to Sarjapur Rd is mainly from Outer Ring road side as of now. From this side it is 15 kms. On the map, there is a road from Attibele circle (Electronics city) that is 5 kms long, but I doubt it’s present state and whether it is used for school buses. Yes, once the proposed development happens in that area, it is possible that things will improve. Thats what people say.

@Amy:

Indus has a good reputation so far but is relatively new school. Two of our friends kids go to Indus from our apartment complex on outer ring road and they are happy with the experience and studies.

Hi,
We’d be moving to B’lore in July, from U.S & my kids are going to soon join Indus for their 3rd and 5th grades. I am longing to hear parents inputs about the school & wonder if there is any ACTIVE blog site. When I googled, I came across only this site, which has only 2 reviews with NO replies from anyone.
Am I missing the right link? If you know of a better link, can you pls let me know.
Many thanks!

Any inputs on the quality of education for IGCSE and A levels? Is the high fee justified for the quality of education and attention that the kid gets? What is the track record of admissions into foreign Indian universities.

Appreciate your feedback soonest, since we are looking at kids admissions into Year 10 and possibly year 8.
