“There are so many things to love about my school. Right from the personal attention and affection we get from our teachers, to the teaching methodologies practiced, the aura here is unique.

We never experience monotony in our learning as teaching is done in multiple new and exciting ways that keep us glued to the subject. The art-integrated project that couples with enquiry-based activities is fun to do. I look up to my teachers, given their in-depth subject knowledge and adept classroom management.” –Daniya, Grade 12B.

“While I fondly remember my pre-Covid days at school, the Covid crisis has presented a true picture of Presidency where in the school had gone beyond measures to create an exceptional teaching environment via the online portal. Compared to other schools where my friends go, my school has been par excellence with regard to online teaching resources and functionality in the virtual platform. No event or program was ever compromised online, rather creative ways were discovered to initiate and execute the same.” –Parvathy, Grade 9.
