    Hai bagy

    I will suggest GOOD EARTH whoever ask for good school, thattoo, coming from US and settling down here, close ur eyes and put ur children in Good Earth,

    GOOD EARTH SCHOOL - FOR BOYS AND GIRLS

    Junior school is near Kishkint(Amusement Park) - pre kg to I std
    Senior School in NADUVEERAPATTU VILLAGE - 2ND - 12TH STD

    though senior school is 14 kms away from tambaram , it tooks only 20 mts to reach the schoo, since, there wont be heavy traffic,and the atmosphere itself will be different frokm other schools, this doesnot have big big buildings and over strength

    Teacher student ration is 1:10

    Dr.GAJANANA RAO( Deen of A.G.HOSPITAL, TAMABRAM)
    he is the Chairman

    GOOD , KIND=-HEARTED AND WELL TRAINED TEACHERS WILL BE THERE
    i feel they are the ASSETS OF GOOD EARTH:2thumbsup:

    so, the school will provide good Infrastructure facility which will be hygenic in all aspects

    Main thing is this school is following WORDS OF j.krishnamurti

    NO REWARDS - NO PUNISHMENTS
    NO FEAR - NO TEAR

    u can check with the website also its www.goodearthschool.org

    There will be very friendly environment, and very affectionate student - teacher relationship

    No heavy homework or writing works, they almost teach in ABL method that is ACTIVITY BASED LEARNING and take childrent to lot of FIELD TRIPS for practical learning and give INNOVATIVE PROJECT WORKS , NO EXAMS till 5th Std.

    Students will talk Good English

    They, like other schools ahve lot of extra curricular activities

    They provide HEALTHY AND HYGENIC LUNCH to students and it is compulsory,where they teach TABLE MANNERS AND MAKE THEM TO EAT ALL VEGETABLES AND FRUITS AND ALL FOOD VARITIES

    And, my son is studying there from the beginning , now he is in 3rd standard

    if u want to knw anything else than this, pls feel free to contact me in PM ALSO

    Iam in East Tambaram(omnly few kms from Selaiyur) so u can contact me for anything,i will definitley help you by all means

    latamurali:yes:

    Thanks shanthi for the info. i looked into Good earth and it seems a like a good option but is about 15kms from selaiyur.
    another ilite also gave some good info about the school.

    how long do you think travel would take from selaiyur to vels vidyashram/psbb millenium?

    hi bagy

    Traffic in this part of chennai is very heavy. the school from my place which is a 15minutes by twowheeler on bylanes, by bus they leave by 7.35 for a 8.50 school..the principal is very strict.

    I think from Selaiyur both the schools are at a distance and also brittos is at a distance.

    Again the long distances will be tasking for your kids...when in a senior class. so look out the best option...or one piece of advice, choose the school and rent a place temporarily for your elder son's sake..by the time he comes out of tenth you will have more options like matriculation or cbse board for the 11th..and then there are lot of schools..and your younger will not have a problem.

    I think from selaiyur the vel's vidyashram is nearer...(correct me somebody if i am wrong.) and psbb is nearer to cathepara junction... you have to come out through the medavakkam high road to the gst road.....

    So i feel you can look into the options when you personally judge the distance than our views....

    Hi anitha,

    I dont know much about vels but heard it is good. and thier extra curricular things are ok.. parent teacher meetings are also ok.

    in psbbmillenium there is no homework that is what i heard that is in the smaller class..and not only psbb lot of schools dont want the parents to teach in the intial years that is lkg,ukg,1st and 2nd..as they use a different method.

    like a,b,c,d 's are not taught in the regular pattern..they start with a i as it is easiest a child can write..the same with numbers.

    that is the reason.....

    hope this clarifies.

    Again the school which is too good for me may not be good for you. it is each one's impression and expectations i believe.

    so you are south chennai????

    hope this clarifies.

    Re: Info about Application issue for admission to LKG in DAV and SBOA

    hi manju,

    I think all schools give applications for kg by the dec/jan.
    I think it will easier for you to get admission in dav than sboa. if you have somebody who can push for application and admission you can try sboa. (and also there is a donation..minimum 25k)

    Hi shanthi,

    Even I heard SBOA takes donation....Do u know if there is any limitation in the number of applications given out?? I think DAV is strict about the distance from home to school...Any idea about Spartan's new CBSE school??
