Hi Smitha, Thx for the info, any idea wat the selection criteria is...

I am not sure about it. People called for the interview were from various professional backgrounds( like teachers, doctors, s/w professionals, etc). After that it depends on how get on with the interview ( this is a catch... no one is sure about it )

hi,
i got interview call frm nvhps. we attended interview (not bad). i did my daughter admission after two days. fees is 67k.

Hi Shaamanna,
Good to know you got through. A couple of questions:
1) Was the admission for the first child?
2) Where do you live, by any chance Rajarajeshwari Nagar?

Thanks
HD

Hi HD,
yes we did admission for our first child. we live in katriguppe

When had you attended the interview?

We got the call for the interview. Interview was okay. We got selected ... the fees is 67000(excluding the school bus fees)....

hi,

anyone got a call from NHVPS. I applied for nursary waiting for call. if anyone get please let me now...
thanks

i don't understand why they r taking so high fees ? even many top school in bangalore don't take this much ? anybody knows reason behind it ?

Did you try calling the school?

anyone attended interview with NHVPS? how the interview was? i am still wating for call... please give me some information....

no i did not call... did u gt call from school?

No I did not..... But one of my friend staying in Rajarajeshwarinagar got...

Some of the children have already got admissions. Mine did not; though my interaction session did go very well. I hear that the school has a cut off on the income of the parents. They are looking at an annual combined (both parents) income cut off of >25L p.a. If a school determines the admission based on such a high limit - where will the middle class people go? How will children gain a diversified experience - if the whole of the school belongs to upper class?

I strictly think it is UNFAIR.

Any idea when PG-1 admission results will be announced for NHVPS.

Hi ...

1)I have applied for NHVPS this year for my daughter who will be 2 yrs 10 months in June 2010.. I have heard that min age is 3 yrs for montessori but I was wondering if they follow this criteria strictly. Can I hope to get admission or my daughter whose will be 2yrs 10 months

2) GIven a choice which is a better option --> Venkat International or National Hill View

yes...it is a fact that the principal is completely closed person...has got very complex attitude problems...and i had a very bad experience during the admission process.

Dear Fellow NHVPS parents

I can't tell you hoe relieved I am to find this thread of communication about NHVPS; don't know why i didn't look it up earlier; but anyway........

My son goes to second standard there and has been there since PG1. I must say I was very happy with the PG center there ; with the teachers, their methods, supervision of Ms Janaki, everything. But never got a chance to directly interact witht he principal as we didn't see the need after admission since any issue was always sorted out at the level of Ms Janaki or the class teachers.

Come first grade my husband and I were shocked at how different it is, and how impervious and impenetrable the principal of the school is. I hear from many students she is a tyrant like character........ didn't believe till i talked to her myself. She is "COMPLETELY CLOSED" to parents' feedback, refuses to acknowledge let alone apologise to many legitimate issues I brought up. The meeting after one month of first grade was the most ridiculous of all when she mentioned things like "send only Natraj pencils, no sharpeners....... etc etc" such a rude and demanding tone........can put off anybody immediately. I didn't think the principal of the school has to come down and adress parents to address issues like what brand of pencils to send, to make sure kids wear underpants (please.......... if its the issue with one kid in school pl deal directly).

Staff have to understand that they may handle hundreds of kids but for parents the anguish and worry will never go away. She has to be little more understanding and open to feedback. Downright rudeness is such a put off.

I request and urge parents to form a forum and bring this up as a group and we can try to do something if we have a bunch pf people who reflect my thoughts. I agree its a wonderful school but kids don't need to fear the princi as a tyrant. And parents should be comfortable to bring up anything with her without having to worry how it may affect the child. After all we are placing the child's future in their hands, aren't we?

I chanced upon this message from a worried and anxious mom and thought it is indeed inappropriate on the part of the Principal to behave in a manner which is considered obnoxious by parents. While the role of a Principal is a challenging one it does not call for unnecessary tyrancy to drive home a point. I have met Principals of many schools and find them extremely humble and dedicated towards their cause. This facade of being a task master will only lead to more anguish and harm the reputation of an otherwise beautiful school. If the Principal is reading this she should adopt a more pleasant style of interaction and make schooling years an enjoyable phase for both parents and children.

I was overwhelmed when I spoke to the principal and saw the school environment durong the interview. But definitely not happy now, knowing the contradicting timings. The playgroup starting timing given in web site is 9 am, but the principal takes of 8.20 am to be starting time and above all, the transport pick up to near by areas - Hosekerehalli, Girinagar is around 7.20 am. It has really put me in great worry about my little one. Now, I'm really thinking if I made right choice of school for my little one. Can any one explain why so much of difference in communication and why starting so early?
My second concern is the big BEE HIVES in the buildings. Does the authority do something to remove them , so that we are worry free?

Looking for answers to my question.
Thanks a lot.

    I disagree with the comments made about the school and the Principal. I have 2 sons and the first one is studying there from past 5 years and the second one got admission for this academc year starting June 01. We had good interaction with the Principal and she offered a chocolate to my child and offered napkin to clean his hands.
