The Schram Academy International CBSE school

Hi mamas..

vanakkam..
iam new to IL..
Well to start with...
howz la chatelaine now?
i was an old student ,an residential student- who felt at home all the time..esp.food
is that lunch for all system still there?
if the princi is still Mrs.susila...well close ur eyes n join the kids..she is great..
well not all princis get a thumbs up from students right..she is good.
but then i was there well. almost 10 yrs back..even then it was a model school..i see that as they said ..everything is computerized after all.
as for teachers..they were all totally dedicated..there was not a teacher whom we didn't like ..everyone was so cool..we chat with them like friends...they were easy with kids..(iam talking abt higher sec teachers..)so kintergarden must b great..after all these years..we had some really innovative pattrn of education in the school.i liked tht
hope its the same lcrjc now..

 

Hi ..
Me again..

So coming to the main part..

the first one in chennai-kangaroo kids,(a really good one-in nungambakkam)the next in shanghai
the third n present in shanghai..which is sooo good...he is sooo happy here..n i really feel terrible to take him out of there..but
we need to get back to chennai by this oct..
n i donno wht to do..i know it's late..but its like that all so soon..
now the thing is..
we will b put up in annanagar n i want something closeby..kangaroo kids is a bit far.n they dont have vehicle facility.
i already had so many ppl talk abt schram..but i need more information..

my son is a very social guy who is used to this too casual kind of schooling .he can speak a little english with a bit of asian accent.Now we might move again to somewhere else in an year..so i need him to maintain his language n interpersonal skills ...so tht it will b easy for him later ..
wht is the teacher student ratio in schram?
are they all montessori trained?
any native english speaking teachers?
do they have transportation facility?
Is lunch n snacks provided?
wht is the LKG timing?
has anyone have their kid in LKG...there?..plz help me..

 

Hello,

I am a new member of IL. I was going thru this thread and I wld like to add my observations...this is purely from what parents have disclosed.

My neighbours' son studies in Schram. She mentioned that the class rooms are not yet Air conditioned. They also overload children with too much home work. But the positives are that children have lots to extra curricular activities - but not much on the premises. eg :They transport them to a particular location by bus for swimming.U could check these out once again with other parents as well.

Spartan CBSE in comparitively new...has similar activities like Schram ..Again swimming not on the premises . Less students in each class, but again ur child will get attention bcoz not many parents are vying with each other for admission to these schools.

I wld like to mention that these are just observations or facts which parents disclose while speaking abt their children. U can make queries and choose the right ons for ur child.

Rgds
Jesus

 

Hi manju..
Thnx for the input..
We might come back to chennai in few months..Hope they have all the promised facilities by then.
By the way,u said they have 23 kids in one class?how many teachers per class?
1:6 is the good student teacher ratio for kindergarten kids.
Do the LKG kids have writing practise.because here they don't have it until 1st grade
do they have text books(gee..i sound stupid..but yet..plz enlighten me)because i heard some schools have..i had good feedback about the school from many.
Do they teach tamil??
Before we came here,i had put my son in Kangaroo kids in nungambakkam whn he was 2 yrs/
it was really good.the only problem now would be the distance.they don't have transport.
anyways..
thnk you again...
hope to see u all soon.

hai manjumnair,

I was browsing through the threads to get every details of scharm academy. I am thinking of putting my LKG daughter to Scharm(nulumbur,new campus) in second term of this academic year and plan to put my 6th grader the next academic year(maduravoyal campus).
I knew that the school concentrates well on extra curricular areas, but heard they have only 7 students in 10 th grade, I was surprised to hear that. As a parent what r your veiws on that? Is it bcoz school doesnt take care well on academics, so people shift kids while in highschool or something to a new school(good 10 and 12 th results do matter much in our education system). These are my worries and doubts do clarify if you have any inputs

input info: Scharm academy started their third campus in Nolumbur,5minutes drive from main maduravoyal campus(preKg-2nd Grade)



thanks avee
