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.

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.
