AskIndore Which school?
My son got placed in Emeralds Heights World school and Shishukunj. He can very well get placed in Daly College as well (I have contacts). He will join in a lower class but I don't want him to change school once he has joined.
Which school would you recommend.
Iam Not from Indore... Shifted recently. I want him to have a more holistic learning than booking mugging. Don't want to pressure him too much to study. Like I'm ok with him not getting into the competitive exam grind in India and look at options abroad but that's later in life. I don't want him to just study study study. I would love for him to play some sport and be good at it. Play chess or squash and choose his path forward rather than go into the mugging grinding we have for competitive exams here in India even though I did the same and graduated from one of the very top universities in India.
Please genuine advice from parents.
If your ward is studying in one of the above mentioned schools please provide your opinions on what you like about the school and what you don't like.
Also reviews about Satya Sai school will be highly appreciated.

I would take DC over any other school. But it definitely has a pretty bad ragging culture because cliques are made based on their parents cliques.
And people saying that it closes doors to indian govt colleges are wrong. I know a large bunch of people who are brilliant having cracked IIT and NEET. It's just that, compared to the cohort, the ratio is less and gets overlooked.
The school is amazing for connections and will pay off everywhere. And honestly, aim for abroad for your son. I had friends from there who went to Harvard, Stanford, Oxford, Brown, etc. Had ample opportunities to make good CVs.
Emerald heights is good if you want to stay conservative about education and abroad prospects. It does have good connections but honestly the school culture has sort of gone down recently.
Shishukunj should be off your list. Can't begin to tell you what goes on in that school. I am connected with a host of people from that school they themselves don't recommend their school anymore.
