Venugopal k.

my ward is undergoing insults from ONE OF YOUR MOST OLDERLY STAFF MS.K - SHE KEEPS ON INSULTING THE CHILDREN,SHE HAS HER FAVOURITES , THOUGH THEY AR ENOT WORTH. IF SOMEBODY WHO IS REALLY EFFICIENT, WILL BE LOOKED DOWN BY HER. I STILL DON'T UNDERTSTAND WHY MANAGEMENT IS NOT TAKING ANY STEPS AGAINST HER AND I HAVE ALSO READ A MESSAG WRITTEN ON HER AND MS. SASHI SAYING THAT THEY ARE VERY STRICT.

IT THIS IS NOT SOLVED I ALONG WITH OTHER PARENTS WILL HAVE TO GET THIS PUBLISHED IN NEWSPAPERS.

hi

hi,
this is a student of the school.dont be fooled by the outer look.This is the most horrible school in the world!!never join the school!!

it is very sad that the presidency school at R.T.Nagar does not has its website. People who would like to know about the school do not get any information. if concerned authorities look it into this matter, it will be useful for everyone and definitely add on to the reputation of the school

i personally don't like this school where importance is given to the community people. and the newly appointed director is a muff . the new rule is that all children have their lunch down stairs where the area is unhygenic .

i think it is high time that the management looks into it or is he only money- minded.Is it a international school that the fee is hiked to 200-500 every year with nil facility, whereas its neighbouring schools have better facility.

teachers are no doubt good but their ipayment is so poor that i think that there will be a poor quality of education expected in the near future.

Your comments are unfair. Majority of the parents have given positive comments about the school. The students score well in academics every year and also do well in sports particularly cricket. You are contradicting yourself when you complain about fee increase and then say teachers getting paid low.

Show one good school these days which is charging less fees ....

may be a few parents who cannot move out from that locality may feel it is heaven. Because they do not even have a ground of their own. when we stand and see the children are teased by the rowdy elements and it is really not safe for the girls. teachers are just leaving in the middle of the academic year. WHY? it's our children who are suffering because it is very difficult for them to adjust to new teachers, and that's why i am sending my daughter to tutions. whether teacher or no teacher. and this issue is on and from past 2-3 years this is unbearable.

Some senior teachers are too harsh with the students and when students try to speak frankly they are snubbed by them in the class. eg. Ms. kalpaana and Ms. sashi are too rude with the students. children may not meet their standards, but it is upto them to bring them up.

True, but pressure on kids to perform happens in all schools.
I have known students in NPS being given memos for non-performance and thrown out. Thats how they maintain standards, by filtering out people who cannot take the pressure rather than try to provide special attention to slow catching kids..
Really sad state of affairs.

Admission is in progress for Nursery (Prep-1) at Presidency R.T. Nagar.

We have been asked to come along with our kid for interview tomorrow morning.

Dear Sir,

Please tell me the fee structure of this school and donation how much have to pay and overall how is that school .

thanks

My son got selected for nursery.

They asked us to pay 36K admission fee + Term fees of 9.6K each for 3 terms. So the overall fee for the first year is 36K + 28.8K. Subsequent years it will be less by around 20K.

My son also got selected in Brigade School - Rajajinagar/Malleswaram, so we are not going ahead with the admission in presidency.

Otherwise, people whom we interacted had good feedback to give regarding the presidency r.t. nagar school.

Hi, This is khan one of the parent of your student. But this is concern of many parents who want you to know the fact about the teachers. We are very much depressed and found that a prestigious school where there are teachers who teaches other than syllabus. My child is reciting mantras which is no where in syllabus.

Actually we are group of parents who are against the policy of teaching religious preachings. We appose any religion preachings. We want our child to be secular and teach them decipline, characters, obediency, honesty and sincerety which is a part of syllabus.

Because school we send not only get educated but also to improve themselves with all humanity concerns. We as a parent will take care of our own religion at our homes. But school should be secular and seriously eradicate all errors.

We hope this will be enough for your action plan.

thanking you.

I see this Institution as a secular home for children, where the culture is held high and not any religion. Every child whatever religion he/ she may belong to come here to learn how to be a good human being in life and then a good citizen. As a parent you ought to think of what good the child has learnt in the process of learning prayers or recitations which ultimately leads one to learning good behaviour and discipline. Instead of sowing seeds against culture and dislike against the school, it would be in good taste if you encourage yourself to think in the broader perspective of development and help the child to also develop a broad mind which is what that will ultimately help in life than thinking on petty narrow lines. You seem to be contradicting yourself in every sentence that you have written. Being Secular and disciplined comes from having an open mind first of all.

If it is so difficult for you to digest that the child is learning to be a good human being and you would rather restrict the child to be a frog in the well, then you have a choice of changing the instituion or better so tutor the child privately as per your wish and not degrade the principles adopted by the school for an overall development of all children who attend this school. We have seen the benefits of being with this school and thinking with a positive mind helps.

Presidency is one of the best school in northern part of Bangalore. They prefer to give quality education which I can see from the type of attention teachers pay to my ward and daily assignments. Four years back, when I was looking for the best school for my ward in northern part of Bangalore, people gave me few names and Presidency was one of them. Almost all of other acquaintance, except one, has told me good things about school but one of my friend told me that the school admin is also inclined in religious preachings. So I decided to go there and figure out by myself. Four years back when I went to school and got information on this as well as curriculum and activities, I was impressed with the school admin thoughts but at the same time I was very much cautious about any religious preaching there. But after my meeting with few parents and staff, I was told that there is no such activity... I came back with good feelings and then got the admission for my ward there.

My ward is there for last four years but I have never seen such things, instead what I have observed that they celebrate all festivals and give equal importance to Id, Diwali, Holi, X'mas etc. My impression now is that this is one of the best school in Bangalore. I hope this will help in clearing few doubts raised.

One of the thing which I personally do not like is every year the fee increases and as well as the building maintenance amount, which is charged from every student compulsorily. The way prices and fees are increasing every year is really intimidating and should be thought of...

Could you please share what is the fee structure at presidency..

This year for PRE-KG, they charge
One Time Admission Fee: 25K (Non-refundable)
Annual Fee: 11k
Term Fees : 9600 * 3 = 28800.

Transportation Costs seperate....

Hope this helps..

I guess, instead of adopting this anonymous approach, u shud directly talk to school or take your kid out and put in a school of your crieteria. I don't see anything wrong from school's perspective, rathr majority of parents would prefer it. I would really love my kid learning slokas in school.

Hi
what is the donation for presidency school r t nagar. and fees? and they have transport service from kodigehalli or not?
