First of all you need to know the IB program means no text books. This also means a copy paste of curriculum outline which rarely gets followed and is repetitive. You do not have any visual measure of curriculum progress which you might have had in other curriculums. eg. Chapters completed, portions completed.


It means that you are at the mercy of the school, and if they are incompetent as in this case it is, then you are left with not much happening and are unable to compare progress of your child for the class groups versus other curriculums.


You don’t get to see any visual sense of what’s happening in the school as there is no class work note books or home work note books, it’s all papers which is put in one folder for all subjects. When you look at the folder it’s exclusively home work that is filed in it, so what is happening in the class . don’t ask.


This also means you don’t get to see corrections, feedback or practise which is the foundation of education.


The school is skeletally staffed, where supervisory roles are done away with or people are double hatting. The delivery of curriculum is left to individual teachers that explains the variability and discontinuity in the progress of the curriculum. Seems to have high turnover of teachers, this is why  there is always a stream of new teachers many of whom do not hold an appropriate teaching degree, but are borrowed from other industries like media, engineering, software etc I presume people who failed at their chosen original careers.


The above leads me to believe that the high fees you pay is looked at as your contribution to the school’s physical infrastructure and not put towards at least in part securing your child’s academic future.


The administrative staff and the principal are happy to get by interested in their pay cheque, fearful of rocking the boat. They end up speaking what you want to hear but do whatever does not rock their boat. If you do manage to get under their skin then they will ignore you, not respond to you.


The state of academics is extremely poor, should I say anything about anything else like extra curricular activities - as with most schools extra curricular activities are for namesake, do not expect anything at all. You would be better off sending your children to dedicated academies elsewhere.


The only good part about the school is the food they provide, but again you do not send children to a high cost day care program but to a school where their future will be shaped. Unless you have loads of money and are not concerned that your child needs to be prepared for the future and your money will take care of his needs and that of his family, you would be wise to choose another school.


Your child will not be able to compete academicallly either in India or internationally, unless of course you can pay for his education - there are many paid seats available for the right price. Education is now a business, do not depend on school such as these to provide it. I will be pulling out my child before more damage is done.
