What Parents Say

Voices from our Middle School families

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…

My daughter joined Class VI at Vidya Niketan and the departmental teaching structure was an adjustment at first β€” but within weeks she was thriving. The Science teacher in particular is outstanding. She now wants to become a doctor.

Parent of Class VII Student
Ballygunge, Kolkata
β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…

The balance here is exceptional. My son is academically strong but also plays in the school cricket team, participates in MUN, and was elected House Captain. That all-round development is rare to find.

Parent of Class VIII Student
Salt Lake, Kolkata
β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…

The teachers in Middle School genuinely mentor the children. My child struggled with Mathematics in Class VI and his subject teacher stayed back after school, arranged peer study groups, and turned it around completely. Remarkable dedication.
