Anand replied. Hello Meenal,

Please firm up on where you are going to live. You cannot commute in INdia as easily as in the US. So distance is a criterion in searching a good school. I can help you out with good schools in AECS/WHITEFIELD area.

Anand chitra replied. hi, given bangalore's expansion i would advice you to look at schools in the area you will be staying. there are school buses - but there are also terrible traffic jams!!! having said that, another suggestion would be not to focus on only girls schools. the newer schools are doing very good work and they donot focus on rote learning - but they are all co-eds. and then there are the international schools that may suit the children - but you need to visit india and take a look at the options. this schoold be around 3rd week of october (after the holidays). quite a few schools start admission procedures then.
ask if you need any other info
all the best
