Customer Reviews
Great teachers first of all, mingling with students and great teaching except for physics and maths. Major drawback is the politics between students and too much drama and poor response by the school management.
Good school for English communication , discipline..
What a school such a amazing school this I have ever seen. The teachers is mingling like a friend to the student and knowing what is minus among them and what is + among them and encouraging the student to develop their self.
I came here for to write exam for SACON to the post of JUNIOR RESEARCH BIOLOGISTS
There is no option for 0 star, so that only i'm giving 1 star The management is not up to their words and money is playing the major role There is too much of politics between students, such as groupism, Rich people are showing too much of partiality on middle class people, All middle class people will always be stressed in this school environment, They (rich people) don't even have friendship, even won't speek with middle class people. If one of the member of group is selected as spl or leader , partiality will occur frequently.for example that particular leader wouldn't select students by conducting selections but instead they would add only the names of their rich group members.
I studied here for the past 15 years. Had a wonderful set of teachers and friends.I loved all the activities which took place in our school. I am proud to give a big thumbs-up. GDite forever :)
The management is not up to their words and money is playing the major role. Give a good exposure to the children where they feel comfortable..Think twice before taking a decision..
One of the best school in Tamil Nadu!
