Need admission to 1st grade school in Noida

10 replies · Closed for replies

Hi ,

We are moving from US to Noida in March. My son needs to get admission into 1st grade. He was born in september 2003. He will be completing his kindergarten in US.

Can you let us know some good schools where he can get admitted into 1st standard ??
Since he will be 5.6 yrs, will that be a problem getting into 1st grade ??
We are not particular on international schools.
We are going to be in Noida only be end of March. Sooooo please advise.

Thanks

CONGRATS !!!
My opinion is , if you have choice between Apee jay and Cambridge then go for Apee Jay . Rest you have to decide :)

My son cleared entrance test in Cambridge and i suppose to deposit fees by 27th March . he also cleared entrance test of Apee jay and yesterday we had interaction Apee jay and they will display result within two days . Although Fees of Apee jay will be slighlty higher than cambridge . Just need one suggestion which school should i prefer ? but i m very happy with both the schools ..

I am veryyy grateful to this site . and would like to thanks to one of the members ( won't mention her name as she didn't want to write her suggestion publicly so she wrote this PM ) .
"" Hi Aman,
Khaitan is good school but you want to wait for result of Apee jay and Cambrdige also . Although this is just a suggestion that i feel you can skip khaitan for the time being and don't deposit fees and wait for Cambridge and Apee Jay entrance result. I heard that Khaitan is still taking entrance test and in case you don't get admission in Apee jay or Cambridge ( school of your choice ) then you can get admission in Khaitan even in March because they r conducting tests. else you can try good schools in greater Noida which will not be far away from your place . This is just a suggestion and it can be risky also. but as you mentioned in mail your child is very brilliant so i m sure he will get admission in Apee jay .
I don't take any responsibility thats why i havn't mentioned about this on forum :) so i wrote whatever i feel . ""

I m looking good school for admission of my son in 3rd Standard. I will shift from Indirapuram to sector-93 in march . My son is studying in Jaipuria school but from 93-sec it is very difficult to send him to jaipuria . I applied in Khaitan and they took entrance test and my son cleared that test . but my problem is i want to wait for Apee Jay school result also . Apee jay will take test on 15th March and Cambridge will take test on 21st March. Cambridge school clearly mentioned that they have 4-5 seats and their criteria for selection is
Performance in entrance test, Transfer cases . but Apee jay hasn't mentioned about no. of seats vacant etc. I suppose to submit fees in Khaitan now. Their fees is 33500 and they will refund only 18000 in case i withdraw if selected in Apee jay . Can anybody has an idea of no.of seats in Apee jay ? How is Khaitan School, Noida Academic point of view ?

alliance world school has also just come out with forms and you can find the form on their website. However, I have no idea if the school is good

Cambridge school will start issuing forms from 25th Feb. Khaitan School had taken entrance test and will declare result on 25th , Apee jay will take test on 15th March .. does anybody has an idea of refund of fees in these schools ?

There is no seat available in Ryan International School, When Cambridge will issue forms?

Amrita

Cambridge is good school both academic and co-curricular wise. they will be issuing forms after 15th feb or last week of feb. If you get admission in cambridge , you can 100% go ahead with that. In my opinion , Cambridge is better than Ryan International, Noida .

Vishal

Thanks for the replies ! I found out from this forum that Cambridge school is still accepting applications...How is the school overall (academics and extra-curricular)?.

Also, how is Ryan international school.. ? Do they have balanced academic and extra-curricular ??

Any suggestions would be helpfull...

sunilsharmaAsked the question

Assisi Convent school is also in sector-33
Somerville school put lot of academic pressure on kids so they don't get much time for extra curricular activities
Fr. Agnel is good in both acedemics & extra curricular but they r biased for particular community and in school also preference is given to particular community while participation in different activities.
DPS, Noida is bit unapproachable for admission in grade I ( if you can manage to get admission in that , its really good.

Hi Mrudula
You can try in Convent schools like Somerville, Fr. Agnel , both are good schools .. they are based more on academic then on extra curricular activities.
Then you can try in DPS, Apee Jay, Amity , Khaitan, Cambridge ( here academic &
if you want to go for international standards then Millenium , Billabong high and lotus valley .
else you can also try Vishwa Bharti , Bal bharti ,
Admission in DPS, Somerville , Fr. agnel, Amity will be bit difficult ( actually depends on availability of seats) . But once you shift here contact schools personally as soon as possible.
I wrote schools according to my priority list . may be other user can input there reviews about these schools or any other school
feel free to ask if any other query.
