How z 11th and 12th of Orbis school ? Teachers ? Staff ? Syllabus ? Please advise.

well its moderate there are more holidays than school hours teachers are well trained so they are good frankly but the rules are too strict and more childish than seeing us as higher class students .

Orbis Teacher's are arogant. They don't reply properly. and blame parents , if the child is not good in academic. Only selected children are front in clutural program and in play ground. Fees increment is too much. I didn't see any growth in my child. i am really disappointed. I never going to recommended orbis to anyone. The worst school.

Dear Madhuri, I am looking for a job in an around Pune to join as a teacher and I will be moving with my daughter who is in Sr.KG. (CBSE, ICSE or IB). Pls suggest some good school which is good for teachers in terms of work environment and academics for my daughter. Thanks

There are 3000 schools in Pune. And it totally would depend on you, the distance and salary you are expecting. if you have a list of schools, I can help u shortlist.

I had gone to school today to pick up my son (usually by bus)as we family had to go outside as an personal need. But the school didn't allowed it. I had written an application and school simply not accepted by remarked on that. After asking the receptionist answer me what is important to you exam or your personal work. Is this a way to reply a parents ? If I don't give importance to exam why I would have sent him in school. I really disappointed by the way the school react with parents. So stringent administration is questionable! Regards,

Very sad. School is becoming bad to worse in transport department.

Hi This is lakshmi we are looking for good school for our kids, now they are going for Eurokids Nursery in vadodara, we are moving to pune please suggest us for good school.

kindly fill Consult Expert form on SchoolKhojo.in

Visited Orbis school, Keshav nagar campus for 2015-16 into Junior KG. I have requested counselor to show Jr, KG class room. It was told to me by the counselor that is in ground floor. I was shown only Nursery and SrKG, they are in ground floor. On insisting, shown Jr KG, it is in 1st floor. Admission counselor communication is not clear, never answers to the question that you have asked. If you ask a question, counselor gets uncomfortable and starts defending by showing aggression. School construction is going on, space is crowded to okay. There is lot of dust. Approach road on construction.

Dear Madhuriji, Let me know when the Jr. Kg. 2015-2016 admissions will be start? any site or link is ther, so i can preaper for same.

Kindly subscribe and you will get notified. Also keep reading old and new articles. one to one questions will be difficult to answer due to repetitive nature of the same questions and same answers.

For the time being i will not be recommending Orbis School to any one until they clarify all the comments of the parents.

Parents kindly join the Facebook group of Orbis school for private discussions. https://www.facebook.com/groups/280065638822486

School is in complete mess.....transport department is highly irresponsible and they dont hesitate lying on your face, Principal's so called ethics/discipline are just a show off, I regret the day I chose this school for my kid.....m highly disappointed!!

Orbis school, is very very bad. things here to prove that :- 1) Last year they provided me 3 uniforms, this year I told school that one uniform is same you provided to me and not used by me so please take it and in return give me new session uniform. school told to contact vendor and after contacting vendor again and again nothing happened, I told school I have not decided vendor for uniform but no luck. 2) My son is in standard-One, last year he was in Sr KG. School changed uniform. don't telling reasons for what reasons. In brief I am not recommending now Orbis to anyone. may be school is trying to get money as much as they can so it can used for nearby new building that's what I heard.

Dear Vishal, Thank you for writing your concern on this forum. I will definitely look into a lot of matters in the coming future. As far as the uniform is concerned. Will you go to a mall and tell them to take back a shirt you did not use and replace it with a new shirt? Is it really logical. Any vendor who is selling, is also there to make some profits and not for charity. So kindly take important issues like fee hike, safety in the school or bus and academics and raise your voice. Many will genuinely help you. What is the fee now? I would really want to read more about the quality of teachers, the curriculum, course material, activities and safety. But I appreciate your courage and thank you for reaching out to me. I will help you out more on other points mentioned above. Take Care.

Hello madhurie; The transport department of The Orbis School has showed it’s utter carelessness when they have left the children on the road without any prior information to the parents.Majority of the students of the students were affected because of this.A ch...ho stays in Wadgaonsheri was boarded on a bus which is going to Handewadi. My daughter along with her classmates who stays in Keshavnagar was left on the road with no one to monitor or bring them back home. Is this the kind of schooling and education that we are aiming at? What are the so called "concerned authorities" are doing? As we school bus going 2hr late and taking 3 hr travelling time in a day just to cover 5-6 km

This is second link on Google if i search "the orbis school review" but information is too old specially in case of fee and transport fee.

Hi, Orbis school has revised fee structure for business class ... Adding to school fees of Rs 45000 /- approx, the transportation charges mentioned on school circular are "Average increase of Rs 225 per month" so that makes transportation charges of around Rs 18000 to 20000 for approx 9 - 10 Km. And I have another observation ... The school notifies you a week before around second or third week of January every year if you would like to continue your child in the school otherwise the first quarter of fees for next year shall be applicable for your child. It is then they disclose the next years fee structure where in you have no time to lookout for other school. Dont have an option this year but next year have to opt for some other school. Regards

Hmm. Point noted. Will take it up when I have 10 more parents writing the same thing. Also Kindly write your real name. It will not be disclosed.

I completely agree with what the person above as commented, I have never seen such irresponsible management in any school at least......if people are there to support, I would like to lodge a legal suite against school, they are just making money and children are highly suffering because of transport department negligence, there are lot many issues, I feel like making my child admit to Orbis was the worst decision I ever made for my kid :(

Ranjana Parth I would request you to compare the syllabus of schools. And my above school info will help you to decide with respect to Fee. Good Luck is needed now days to stay alive in this world for Kids education. I need to plan my saving for this. And I need to think multiple times to go for 2nd child. Huh !!!

Dear Madhurie, There has been lots of change done recently by Orbis School in their fee structure. Playgroup- UKg= Rs36000 per year. Class to Class 5 = Rs 45000 per year. Medium affordable range fee - I don't understand your sentence here. Do you compare your house income or average earning of any person in Pune? For me, its very high. Just wanted to clarify that: This are just tuition fees. There are 2000 Rs Shoes (1 pair only of Adidas, they don't like Bata), 940 Rs Per 1 Set of Normal Uniform, 650 Rs for Sports Uniform, 350 Rs for ID Cards, 250 Rs for Group Photo and CD of programs, 600 Rs for Costume for Yearly Program (1 dress). Transport Fees - Updated on every six months. Currently it is 17000 for year for 5-7 KM Range. Hope this info will help the parents here.

Dear Pallavi, the fee must have gone up this year! Looks like I have to stop recommending it to many parents now! Thanks for the information.
