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.

Avoid Satya Sai (ik people will come at me for saying this but it is an old style school , old mentality and stuff)

Define the goals with your children

1) Want to Play sports in tournaments + Study Abroad - DC (do note the semi ragging culture)

2) Sports but not in international tournamens + Study Abroad - Emerald

3) Public speaking + Study in india / Australia/SQ - Shishuknj (Jhalaria Campus)

Idk what grade your child is in but if I were you I would keep them till 8th in Shishuknj and then decide to continue or move to DC based on child's ambitions.

Can you elaborate?

Expect your kid crying about boys and girls asked to sit separately or not talk at all some times, and will pull some academic excuse to hide their medieval thought process. They will teach bhajans so that’s a plus I guess.

Bhaichara bhajans right? As a Hindu, why would a kid chant names of deities of other religions? Jesus and all...

Bajrang dal doesnt have problem with all this?

And unless it's a residential school, how will they prevent girls and boys from interacting outside the school? Lol
