Nurseries and Schools:DESPERATELY SEEKING INFO ON SCHOOLS IN MUMBAI
2009-01-13
Name: B D



Hi Friends,

I am new to this site and will be shifting to Mumbai in the next 1 month. Unfortunately, we do not have ANY friends or relatives in Mumbai and as such are in a big dilemma as to schooling for our daughter who has recently turned 8. We are on our own and that is why I have joined this forum seeking advice or any kind of feedback any of you parents can give to me. I was told out here, people do reply so please SOS.

We will be living around Goregaon/Malad/Kandivali area as that is all we can afford at the moment and from the information I googled on the net, I found the following schools. Not wanting to solely rely on the rosy information that is posted by these schools and hoping for some first hand experience/feedback to help us decide, and unfortunately not having any friends or family to get this from, here I am.......do any of you have any experience or feedback or news you can share with me regarding the following schools, I would be eternally grateful to you all....

Ryan International School, Goregaon (E)
Ryan International School, Malad (W)
Billabong High, Malad
Cambridge School, Kandivali (E)
Thakur International School, Kandivali

I read a few posts out here but that has confused me even more, because the information doesn' t clearly state anything, very non-committal. I liked Billabong but not sure after reading articles that there is a lot of problem with the school affiliation, teaching method etc.

My child was born and brought up abroad and speaks only in English, understands a little bit of Hindi, can speak very very little but knows most of the popular Hindi songs (how I yet am trying to figure out), but cannot write at all. Also, I am not sure what class she would be eligible for. Any suggestions PLEASE.....PLEASE.....PRETTY PLEASE

Hi,
I am in NJ and will be moving with my 2 kids to Mumbai soon. I am going with Vibgyor in Malad link road. I have heard good reviews of that school. One of my cousin went from Atlanta to Mumbai last year and has 2 oklder kids. They are both in vibgyor and very happy. For now I have enrolled my 4 year old in Thakur Internation as I will be staying that side for the 1st year. You can email me thru my profile. Just curious where are u moving from ? Are u a frequent vistor on r2i club too ?

Seema

Hi Seema,

Sorry for the delay in replying. Was in Mumbai the past 2 weeks trying to get admission for my child and what a nightmare it turned out to be. Am waitlisted on all the schools I applied to including Vibgyor.....standard reply being no seats, we will let you know in May. What happens when they say no in May and school starts in June, where do I run with my child then......am so stressed out, feeling maha depressed.

The ICSE schools are a problem too, they start Hindi from Std 1 only and my kid has absolutely no clue, I tried looking at the books and it took me some getting used to, wonder how my kid is gonna make it. The IB schools are ridiculously expensive, way out of our budget, what to do I really don´ t know, sometimes I wish I never had a kid only.

Dear Seema,

Thanks a tonne for posting a reply, I had almost given up hope, didn´ t expect people to be that non-responsive. It´ s very depressing when you ask for help and no one cares.

I had heard about Vibgyor but wasn´ t sure because not much is said about it on most of the sites I have visited. The frequently mentioned ones are Thakur International and Ryan International and Billabong High, hence I stuck to those.

Glad to hear that your cousin´ s kids have settled well, my biggest problem is my daughter´ s lack of exposure to Hindi, hence have been very tense of how she will cope and whether she will be able to.

If you don´ t mind me asking, how old are your kids and how easy was it to enrol in Thakur International. Their official site has some warning posted on it hence I have not been able to access it and as such hardly have any information on it. Do you have any feedback that you could please share with me, I´ m really desperate.

I couldn´ t figure out how to write an email to you, hence posting my message here only, hopefully u do read it and reply.

I´ m moving from Sydney and not very frequent here, intially I used to, but seeing the lack of response, I stopped.

Thanks once again.

RE:What Toddlers Should Be Learning?
Toddlers are at a crucial stage of learning, where foundational skills for life are being developed. At Skillmatics, we believe toddlers should be learning cognitive abilities like problem-solving, memory building, and recognition of shapes, colors, and patterns. Language development, motor skills, and social-emotional growth are equally important during these years.
