Anandi School Bangalore- Looking for honest feedback from current Parents

I have my kids studying at Anandi now and it’s too early to share proper feedback. However like the kids the staffs are also new and pretty much everyone trying to settle in now but my kids really enjoy and they update weekly activities in toddle app. Food is also ok except the serving staffs are rude when the kids ask second serve, I noticed personally. On 4+1 lot of people misunderstood the intention, it’s more of learning by doing and the project is based on something which connects them on daily life. Happy to answer any other questions you have. Which grade you are trying to admit and is it for this year or next year?

On negatives, unlike other schools after school activities are paid and they have told school team will be selected from kids in after school activities , which is kind of unfair and questions the intention. Transportation is messy at this moment. Parking is kind of problem at schools

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. It’s really helpful to hear about your experience, especially regarding the learning-by-doing approach. May I also know the fee structure for the current academic session? I’m looking for admission for my child in Grade 5 for the next academic year, so it would be helpful to get an idea of the overall fees. Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience!

For grade 5, its around 5.75 tuition fee +1.15 Lakhs admission fee

Hi Jennifer, Adding to Santhosh Kumar’s points, with everything already mentioned, I wanted to share my observations as a parent of a Grade 6 child. Pros 1. *Teachers:* The teachers are very good and make sure children understand the concepts properly. Even when children ask the same questions multiple times, they patiently address them. 2. *4+1 Model:* I really like the 4+1 model and the way learning is made interesting and engaging. My daughter was never particularly curious about lakes, but after the field project, she has started observing them around her and exploring the topic more. This is something I really appreciate. 3. *Open & Friendly Environment:* Children have the liberty to ask questions and share their concerns directly with teachers, coordinators and the Principal, which creates a very approachable environment. 4. *Practical Learning:* I like how concepts taught in class are connected to the field projects. It gives children an opportunity to practically apply what they learn rather than relying only on rote learning. 5. *Safety & Support:* The staff is friendly and supportive. Security is good, and the school premises are clean and safe. 6. *Happy Children:* Most importantly, my children genuinely enjoy going to school and their school hours. 7. *Leadership opportunities* to children from K2 to grade 8 helping them become responsible person in the journey of schooling. **Areas of Concern:** 1. *Transport:* Initially, we had a big bus for pickup, which was later changed to a TT. It feels quite congested and uncomfortable. I feel the quality and comfort of the service should ideally be consistent for all transport students. I hope this can be looked into sooner rather than later. 2. *Food:* Food was definitely a concern initially, although I feel there has been some improvement recently. My children say things have become better. The taste is still not consistent but most of the time my daughter enjoys the food now. 3. *Outdoor/Play Time:* This is probably my biggest concern. There doesn't seem to be enough time for children to actually play outdoors. . I feel children also need adequate physical activity and outdoor play as an important part of their overall development. Overall, based on my two months of observation, I would say "No school is perfect, we would see the bright side and dull side everywhere" , Since both my children enjoy going to school, I would consider this a good school with many positives. I am hopeful that, with continuous parent feedback and open communication, some of these areas will gradually improve and make the overall experience even better for the children. 😊
