    My daughter studied in The gulf in the CBSE board , she does not know tamil.
    Is there any school in Chennai with CBSE for eleventh standard in Chennai with no tamil language.

    kavitha,

    matriculation you need to do second language. french/sanskrit/hindi or tamil. even the not so popular school in chennai has tough competition. the children are really stressed out. they have special classes/coaching classes. it feels as if the children are put through a roller machine.

    and padma seshadri, and few other schools look only at children with 10 gpa.

    Hi ladies,

    I should first appreciate the OP for opening a very useful thread.....
    I am putting my daughter in an indian international school.
    We need to select a 2nd lang for her, where they offer tamil / hindi / french.
    since, i myself know french, my dh wants my dd to take up french as her 2nd lang.
    (french is much more easier to score than the other 2)
    But, i feel that she needs to know at least 1 indian lang,for which i feel hindi
    is better.
    ( though dh & me studied only tamil at school level & know very little of hindi).
    Also, we may move to chennai in next 6-7 years , when she completes 5th.
    So, what does we need to opt for her hindi / french ?
    Please pour in your thoughts for this confusion of mine !!!!! :)


    Thanks a lot,
