How is the teaching approach ? Are the concepts made clear in a more practical way ? I am interested in the CBSE curriculum particularly 3 plus grades. Towards the higher grades does the stress factor remain this way or does it increase ?

The first thing that strikes when we enter the school is the space and now that the school has moved to Mallasandra campus,there is greenery all around.The infrastructure is excellent.All our queries are answered patiently at the reception.When my child is mildly sick,I don’t worry much
because he is in safe hands.Again,teachers respond courteously when we enquire about the child’s health.In the academic front,parents feel less burdened by home assignments as children are taught to work independently.
