My name is Riya Saravanan and I study in Lady Andal school in the 7th grade. I joined this school just a year ago and the moment I entered the school I felt so welcome and felt like I had been there a long time. It had me enamoured. We have a beautiful campus, wonderful teachers, and awesome friends. The teachers in our school are very friendly and approachable. They give us individual feedback on how we could improve, and because of this, I have developed a lot of new skills. I now have the confidence to deliver speeches on stage, communicate my thoughts more effectively, improved my self-management skills and so much more. As said by our late correspondent Mrs C Prema Kumar, “Our school is not just academic centric but child centric” and the school has stood by this motto. To conclude I would just like to say that I am proud to be a part of this wonderful institution.

Hear what our parents have to say

I’ve been a parent at Lady Andal School for the past 4 years and it’s been a learning experience for me as a parent where I’ve had to unlearn a lot of what I thought important aspects of education were. My conversations with my children are enlightening (and sometimes scary) and I feel like I’m on their journey with them where I’m discovering myself being able to truly hear their perspectives and opinions. I don’t always agree with them because my four-year-old has some outrageous suggestions regarding balanced meals and snacks that she would like but I love how their personalities are being nurtured and gently shaped. The new school building is beautiful and well thought out and the space is a lovely environment full of potential for the children to enjoy their school years.

Rashmi Devaprasath Parent of Diya Raja (EYP 2)

Our daughter has been a part of the Lady Andal family since the start of her schooling in 2020. The teachers and management have always been transparent, caring, accommodative and flexible to each child’s unique identity. Their attention to detail and intuitiveness in understanding and helping the child to evolve has been great during online and offline learning as well. It has been a delight to see how she and her friends have transitioned from preschoolers to 1st graders, unlocking their creativity and curiosities in an encouraging environment. We are looking forward to the years to come.

Yasser Raffath and Hana Jameel Yasser Parents of Minha Yasser (PYP 1)

I remember walking into Lady Andal in the early 1990’s, to pick up my cousin. Spanning across five decades, I have had children in my family going to Lady Andal. Their thirst to serve the children and the society is just unbelievable. And now with the advent of the IB curriculum, their strive for excellence never seems to end. Mrs Prema Kumar might not be around physically, but I feel her aura every time I enter the school. Her mission was to have a child centric school which is really what IB curriculum is about. And most important of all, are the teachers who seem to have built the school brick by brick to where it stands today. They are the true pillars behind the mission and the success of the school. Each of them has a personal touch which does magic to the wholesome development of a child. Beneath the craft that continues to shape my kids are some names very close to my heart.

Dr. P. Revathee Parent of Riaan Cherkuri (PYP 2B)

I have two children studying in PYP at Lady Andal school and I am very happy with our experience. The school administration held an orientation that thoroughly explained the IB curriculum to us, which was very helpful. The teachers are passionate about principles of the curriculum that the school follows and adhere to them in all aspects. Students are given personalised attention which makes us parents feel secure that any learning challenge faced by our child will not go unaddressed. The curriculum keeps the children engaged and attentive, with a mix of traditional learning, audio/visual aids, guest speakers, excursions, and interesting projects. There are sports, performing arts, and clubs that make it a holistic education. The PYP programme has given my children confidence and agency; they know they are smart and capable; they feel their ideas and contributions are respected and valued, but they also know that it is their responsibility to remember and complete assignments. As a bonus, our children now attend class in a fantastic new building, with excellent facilities and an indoor/outdoor feel that weaves in nature so the students do not feel confined. Overall, I am very satisfied with the PYP program at Lady Andal school and feel fortunate that my children are enrolled there.

Priyanka Acharya Parent to Jaidev EYP 5A and (PYP 3)

Tanuj and I were looking for a school with a community feel and Lady Andal was the only school near our home to check out all our boxes: a school to provide supportive environment that embraced diversity. A special thanks to my daughter’s PYP 3 class teacher Vaishali ma’am, for being such a wonderful, approachable person as she is always there for our help whoever needed. That puts us, as parents much to ease as my daughter had just joined this school last year. The learning experiences are beyond my expectation are beyond my expectations. I noticed that she is become more imaginative, disciplined, and curious while doing all her activities and her confidence has significantly improved. We love the way that our daughter is now able to take responsibility for her learning. The leadership at Lady Andal School is a professional as well as personal. The coordinators and staff are not only accessible, but easily approachable. We are happy being a part of Lady Andal School only wished we would have joined earlier. I would also want to thank everyone at the school for giving us parents regular feedback by WhatsApp and e mails about general and specific information. Planning of webinars and activities surely takes great thought, planning, time, and effort. This was also well executed by you all. Keep up the great work!

Tanuj Vora and Dimple Vora Parents of Samyra Vora (PYP 4)

My daughter looks forward to going to school every day. She is proud of the programs and facilities it offers – swimming sessions, performing arts classes, a computer lab, a music room and other extracurriculars that the school actively manages and encourages. For many months, her excitement that the school was going to move the students into a new building within its spacious, leafy green campus was palpable. When D Day arrived, she and her friends were overjoyed with the new space. Starting from the banyan tree in the centre that was preserved with great care during construction to the strikingly designed turquoise shelves of the two-floor library space, the new school building is a wonderful space to learn and grow. There is a dream catcher installation that has been thoughtfully created to symbolize what the IB curriculum is all about. The classrooms are state of the art. The home room teacher has co-created many unique displays of the children's work in a range of subjects across the classroom. This year, new classes too have been introduced. The school has increased its teacher and administration base to accommodate the demand for a good IB program in the heart of the city. My daughter still looks forward to her school every day and as a parent this is always a good indicator!

Shvetha Jaishankar Parent of Dhvani Kailas (PYP 5B)

As a new student who joined the Lady Andal School this year, Aryaan feels welcome and comfortable. The credit goes to the facilitators and the management for creating a culture of acceptance and inclusiveness. The school offers immense scope for children to excel in various avenues along with academics. This emphasis and encouragement to pursue extracurricular activities is commendable.

Nithyashree Nandagopal Parent of Aryaan Prabhu (MYP 1)

My daughters are currently in their 6th and 7th Grade at Lady Andal School, and we moved to this wonderful school just a year ago and since our move, our experience has been nothing short of amazing. I feel so proud to tell you that the school has provided them with so much more than just academics. It has made them more self- confident, independent, and out-going. The school has a brilliant set of teachers who are extremely thoughtful, nurturing and encouraging. They ensure that every kid feels heard and as a parent I would like to take this opportunity to thank the teachers for giving my daughters a happy and safe learning space. And to top all this, they have a state-of-the-art campus which makes learning all the more fun. As we all know that the environment plays a major role in a child’s growth, they have ensured it is rightly reflected so in their amazing campus. Finally, I would like to add that this school has been a big turning point in my kids’ education and is a huge boost in bringing out their individual strengths.

Deepthi Saravanan Parent of Riya Saravanan (MYP 2A)

Since his early days, Aaditya has always been a very inquisitive child. As a parent, I knew that the curriculum followed in the school would provide the right platform for his overall growth. He joined the Lady Andal school in their first batch of PYP 3 and he is now in MYP 2. The journey so far has been very rewarding. Both the Primary and Middle Year programmes have been so well curated to ensure an overall approach for growth both academically and for extracurricular activities. The learning and teaching approach for all subjects is unique. For all concepts introduced there is a thorough and in-depth understanding achieved. The students can hence relate their work with real life scenario quite easily. What is also truly commendable is that the program followed in the school is engineered to nurture the good attributes for the growing kids. This guides them to become caring, kind, understanding and responsible global citizens. I also have to appreciate the wonderful new building for the students. It is so well designed and undoubtedly provides a conducive, happy, and safe environment for the students to grow.

Mrs. Shilpa Menon Parent of Aaditya J. Menon (MYP 2B)

We are really happy with the school as well as the facilities provided. The infrastructure and the auditorium in particular is world class. The teaching staff are always supportive and open to feedback opening avenues of dialogue. Another prominent feature is the open spaces and playground in the school which is located in the heart of the city. The facilities are well maintained and managed efficiently. The teacher ratio is excellent ensuring better focus and attention on my child. This will certainly add more value in her being a better student.

Divya Pratish Parent of P. Mukthaa (MYP 3A)

As the world outside becomes more competitive than ever, it has become essential for children to be empowered with skills - social, analytical, and strategic. Ensuring that the children understand how to balance life through varied learning experiences and thereby gain skills that will help them evolve into true global citizens is paramount. My daughter who was once a shy, hesitant, and quiet child has now grown into a confident yet humble young woman with a unique perspective as well as an ability to be assertive as needed. I credit the teachers at Lady Andal with enabling this transition through a balance of unique learning experiences – within the classroom and some through projects, sports, and several other activities. The approaches are a mix of conventional and unique unconventional methods that aid learning and growth. I am a happy parent.
