reviews: [{"relativePublishTimeDescription":"a month ago","rating":1,"text":{"text":"My daughter has been going to this school since FS1 and I have been very happy till grade 2 but after that quality started deteriorating. There are so many incidents where I have been felt that it\u00e2\u0080\u0099s only profit oriented school considering the amount of kids are increasing in each section . They promised not to increase the kids more than 20-22 but now in grade 5, it has literally reached to 30, hence the quality has been compromised because no matter how good the teachers are , it\u00e2\u0080\u0099s impossible to maintain the quality with this number of kids . I am moving my daughter to another school in grade 6 now and here are some of the key reasons :\n1. Principal of the school is non approachable. At multiple times , we tried to meet her in person to discuss a matter in which her decision was important but she refused to meet and only replied us once on an email .\n2. My daughter has been bullied on various occasions and consistently by the class \/school kids over healthy lunches she brings to her weakness in maths ,sometimes suffered because nobody played with her during beaks but despite having supervisions and constant communication, no action has been taken .\n3. Excessive usage of gadgets and showing movies during the school hours which I just can\u00e2\u0080\u0099t comprehend . I still can understand the use of iPad but almost every Netflix kids movie she has already watched in school . Even if it\u00e2\u0080\u0099s free time or break time , they are not suppose to watch movies there .\n4. The final test report that has come literally shocked me as in the feedback of one of the subject , they didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t even use the right name of my daughter and have been addressed her as someone else which shows how all the feedbacks are copy pasted and have not written keeping that individual in mind (bcz of so many kids in class)\n5. There have been so many lies that are being told to parents about their kids performance saying that they are excellent in the subject which they are not .\n6. My daughter\u00e2\u0080\u0099s maths level in grade 5 is literally equivalent to grade 1 -2 . Her self esteem has been lowered to another level because I never knew that I am suppose to hire extra Tuitions for maths like most of the kids . She didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t even know basic multiplication and subtraction in grade 5 and they kept promoting her to next level informing the parents that all is good in the hood till the time I sat with her one day and got really shocked that how she didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t know anything.\n7. This school might be great at pre school and early years but won\u00e2\u0080\u0099t recommend at higher levels at all . Teachers might be very good but what they can do if you keep adding so many kids in one class - Quality will be compromised .","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"My daughter has been going to this school since FS1 and I have been very happy till grade 2 but after that quality started deteriorating.

There are so many incidents where I have been felt that it\u00e2\u0080\u0099s only profit oriented school considering the amount of kids are increasing in each section . They promised not to increase the kids more than 20-22 but now in grade 5, it has literally reached to 30, hence the quality has been compromised because no matter how good the teachers are , it\u00e2\u0080\u0099s impossible to maintain the quality with this number of kids . I am moving my daughter to another school in grade 6 now and here are some of the key reasons :\n1. Principal of the school is non approachable. At multiple times , we tried to meet her in person to discuss a matter in which her decision was important but she refused to meet and only replied us once on an email .\n2. My daughter has been bullied on various occasions and consistently by the class \/school kids over healthy lunches she brings to her weakness in maths ,sometimes suffered because nobody played with her during beaks but despite having supervisions and constant communication, no action has been taken .\n3. Excessive usage of gadgets and showing movies during the school hours which I just can\u00e2\u0080\u0099t comprehend . I still can understand the use of iPad but almost every Netflix kids movie she has already watched in school . Even if it\u00e2\u0080\u0099s free time or break time , they are not suppose to watch movies there .\n4. The final test report that has come literally shocked me as in the feedback of one of the subject , they didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t even use the right name of my daughter and have been addressed her as someone else which shows how all the feedbacks are copy pasted and have not written keeping that individual in mind (bcz of so many kids in class)\n5. There have been so many lies that are being told to parents about their kids performance saying that they are excellent in the subject which they are not .\n6. My daughter\u00e2\u0080\u0099s maths level in grade 5 is literally equivalent to grade 1 -2 . Her self esteem has been lowered to another level because I never knew that I am suppose to hire extra Tuitions for maths like most of the kids . She didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t even know basic multiplication and subtraction in grade 5 and they kept promoting her to next level informing the parents that all is good in the hood till the time I sat with her one day and got really shocked that how she didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t know anything.\n7. This school might be great at pre school and early years but won\u00e2\u0080\u0099t recommend at higher levels at all . Teachers might be very good but what they can do if you keep adding so many kids in one class - Quality will be compromised .","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"My daughter has been going to this school since FS1 and I have been very happy till grade 2 but after that quality started deteriorating.
