  1. Hi Madhurie,

    My Brother is relocating to Pune from UP.He is working with Tata Chemicals and his son is also studying in Township school.
    His son is low in IQ level so can you please suggest any special/recommended school in Pune.
    We can go for boarding school also..

    • I will advice your brother to meet me as this is not so easy to suggest unless we meet the child. Boarding is the last I would recommend. Boarding is good option for kids who are very very dependent.

  2. Hi Madhuri,

    My son is studying in standard I in Magarpatta city school and doing well.Please guide me if it would be a good idea to try for any better school like Bishop/DPS/St. Vincent etc..
    Since my son has been at different countries for last 2 years so his schools are changed every year.
    Please reply..

    • Dear Amit, Well except to DPS I will not be able to comment on other schools you have mentioned. DPS is good shift. Remember a school that is good for me may not be good for you for various reasons. Hence look into as many factors I have mentioned on the home page and prioritize them to get to the final decision.

  3. Hi Madhurie,

    Really appreciate your efforts in this area.I have heard that schools in Pune have very strict age criterias for preschool admissions.Schools only accepts students who have completed 2.5 years exactly on 01 June for Nursery admissions.I stay at Kalyaninagar.It would be great help if you could provide me age criteria for various schools in and around(5km-7km radius)Kalyaninagar(Bishops,St.Marys,St.Helenas,St.Felix,St.Miras,Gurukul,Lexicon and other you knew) for nursery and LKG admissions.Please forward any document(if you have any) related to this.My daughters birth date is 12 Jan 2009.Her age will be 2 years 4 months and 18 days by 01 June 2011.I am planning to enroll her for Nursery at LeapBridge/Vivero at Kalyaninagar.Next year I am looking at above stated schools for LKG admissions.If age criteria is very much strict then she will repeat nursery next year as well and I would like to avoid this.

    Hope you get idea about the scenario.Please let me know the info I asked and will appreciate your suggestion.

    Thanks,
    Prashant

    • Hi Prashant, Thanks for the appreciation. Trying my best.
      All info about the schools you wish to know of are there on the site. Try to read as much. Infact the criteria for as many are also mentioned. SPend some time and you will find all.
      For any more specialzed or personalized info you will have to attend my workshop starting 2nd week of June 2011.
      Always make sure your child is oldest in the class. One yr in a span of 100yrs is nothing.

    • Hi Madhurie,
      We have a choice of RIMS International and VIBGYOR for Nursery (Both on NIBM road). Both offer the IGCSE curriculum, student teacher ratio is nice and small. I have heard only good things about VIBGYOR from others & from your review as well. Could you also please review RIMS International?
      Thanks,
      Juzar.

  6. Please Suggest me a School with good teaching and good educational activities for my kid for his Lower KG.

  7. Hi Madhuri,

    Any update for Hume McHenry Memorial School review which is located in Salisbury Park,near Swargate. This is the nearest school for my kid since I stay in Dhankawadi, satara road. The options like Bishops, DPS in Undri are little far from me. I will be taking admission to Nursery for my son who is now 2.4 years old.

    Could you please help on the same.
    Can I choose Hume McHenry Memorial School over Bishops, DPS considering the travel distance from my place.

    Thanks.
    Ramakant

  12. Dear Madhurie

    I am planning to take addition for my daughter in 1st class at Global indian international school at vallabh Nagar
    1) Can youplease giv eme review for this school
    2)From next year they will be changing name to Gyan Ganga since contact with GIS will be terminated, what willbe the efect of this
    3)They have hike fee is it due to fee hike
    4)will this contract termination with GIS degrade the performance of school, since it will be under builder managment

    PLs help to get these answer

    • Hi Jitupa, I donot know about this GIS school. If u can find out why the GIS is terminated, will be insightful. There can be 2 reasons. Either GIS were not happy with this school not following their curriculum or the francisee was not happy with GIS due to some reason. Many a times, the % shared is the contention when franchisees have to do away with the relns. If you can get some more details like who are the managing board and real members who are executing the school affairs, then may be I can help.

  13. Hi Madhuri,

    I am looking for Hume McHenry Memorial School review which is located in Salisbury Park,near Swargate.

    Could you please help on the same.

    Thanks.

  14. Hi Madhurie

    I am Poonam presently staying at California wants to take the admission for my son in 1st Std for this acedamic year. I hv permanent address in Kothrud Pune. Today only I registered on ur site. I went through many posts,forums,reviews etc on this site. I appreciate u have collected lots of information. But I wondered u haven’t reviewed No 1 school from Pune’s history St.Vincent School for the parents. Also u left out the schools like Rosery,Loyolla high schools and some schools near Kothrud area.

    I want to know the Details of st. Vincent schools timimgs and admission process. If u can help me out.
    And Since first time I admitted my child in school in CA-USA I am in a great confusion should I come back to India to start his acedamics from 1st std. I came temporarily here in USA. or should I come after one year. but then shall I able to get the admission in ‘Good’ school for my son in 2nd or 3rd grade and will he be able to cope up. Can u pls guide me. It will be gr8 help. Thanks.

    • Hi Poonam, I do not know myself which is No 1 school, and definitely not St Vincent. 🙂 I have done these reviews out of my own interest and need. I do not live in the area you mentioned, hence not reviewed most schools that side. As you can see, the site is a free for all site, hence I have and am doing what my resources allow.:)

      Now to your query. You can call me.

      • Thanks Madhurie for ur quick reply.
        Please do not bother. I heard from lots of Pune Public (old generation) about St. Vincent school so I said. I studied in small school in Marathi medium but graduated(BE Computer) with Good acdemics(GK) as well as extra curricular and there are many as like me but now a Days u know for our kids its hard to decide we need to think twice as deep as we can :)We handled the laptops/computers at the age of 20,21 around and our children from Nurserys.See the vast difference So is the concern. And if “Really” they have the abilities we need to enhance them.
        Finally if there is Eager to Learn anyone can reach the sky and Sky has no limit
        Here is one URL I found interesting regarding Pune schools review in short. Pls let me know What do u think of it.
        http://www.virtualpune.com/html/channel/edu/grades/grades.shtml

        Thanks u offered me to call u I know you must be busy in ur daily routine with two kids… 🙂 Is there any suitable time u can suggest to call you. Thank you.

        • Yes Poonam, a lot of old genertaion are only aware of their days schools, and do not know any longer the status of these schools. Also you very right, when you want to you can. Everything that you mentioned applies to everyone in our gen. Infact my school was the only school in Naini, where we had army kids, public sector kids and halwai kids all studying and trust me I have never found anything lesses in me ever. 😉
          I liked the link you send. Call me after 2pm IST to 4pm any day.

  15. Hi,
    I want Lkg admission for my son in near by CAmp area schools.

    Can u give me the details about it.

  16. Hi Madhuri,

    I am looking for schools in baner/balewadi/aundh/pashan area.

    My daughter will go in Sr.Kg next year.

    There are very schools left for her since many of the schools do not have vacancy for Sr Kg..like VPMS/DAV/St Joseph.

    We have gone to Orchid/(Newly open at Balewadi) Vibgyor High /Vidya Valley schools….

    Can you please give me feedback about Orchid/vidya valley?

    Also can we trust newly opened schools like Vibgyor High,Blue Ridge,Wisdon World…

    Every new schools websites and infrastructure are very good so how to judge these schools for our children?

  18. Hi Madhuri,
    I am presently in US but will be back in pune for goods by June 2011.
    I want to apply for my daughter in class 1 in St Mary’s school.
    I want to know, do they take written test for class 1 and what type of qs they ask?

    Thanks,
    Kalpna Garg

  19. hi madhurie

    need your exprt advice on vidya valley and bishops camp i am stuck up between these two

  20. Hi lux,

    Thanks for the reply.

    I am interested in CBSC board. I am preferring VPMS and Gurukul. The admission in Gurukul is not easy, any way there is no vacancy for Jr. kg this year. Do you have any idea about VPMS (SB road)? What is their selection criterion etc.? Do they have following criterion like Distance, working mother, and already in a proper school. Some schools don’t prefer interschool transfer.

    Thanks,
    Shruti

    • Hello Shruti,

      my son is studying in Gurukul, Jr. Kg.,situated in ILS campus. You will get to know about the availability of seats for jr. kg., provided there are some vacancies, in the month of march (20th of march to be precise). They will put up the list in Ashoknagar campus.

      Their fee structure is Rs. 9100/- per quarter. (Bus extra)…hope this helps…

  21. Shruti,

    If Fees is d concern then VPMS & Vidhya Valley are very costly- range bet 70-1L. St. Joshep & Gurukul are in d range of 25-30 k.No idea abt GIS.

    All d schools are good. Which board u want is also IMP. VPMS is CBSE, VV is ISCE, St Jos is state board.

    All d Best

  22. Hi Madhuri,

  23. I am moving to Pune in Feb2011 and need to take admission of my kids in Sr KG and rd Std. Can someone help me with information on school admission?

    Thanks,
    Sandeep

  24. Hi Madhuri,

    I am really confused regarding my daughter’s admission for Jr. Kg. I am staying in Pimple saudagar which schools should I apply?

    I am trying Gurukul, Vikhe Patil, St. Joseph, GIIS Vidya valley etc.

    My daughter is right now in Akshara International school which is a dayboarding school. We are happy with the school but I feel the fees are on a very higher side. I am not sure about the higher standards. Do you have any feedback for Akshara International? should I continue with the same school? My first preferences are Gurukul and Vikhe patil, but not sure about the admission.

    Thanks,
    Shruti
