St Marys School, Agarkar Nagar, Pune

This school is the worst experience of not only my child's life, but mine as well. All good teachers have already left it a few years ago. Students are leaving even in the higher standards. They call back teachers who retired. No wonder the main objectives became that you put oil into your hair, never ever talk to a person of opposite gender in the bus on the way home (bus is private) and that you don't use bathrooms. Children were vomiting in the classrooms because they were not allowed to leave to the restroom. They were proposed by teachers to pee in the garbage beans. Kids were not given minimum health attention even in case of serious health issues like asthma, The nurse could be attending mass online and had no time for a child. If children ask teachers questions in the class they get "Shut up!!!". Teachers would abuse you, make fun of you publicly, claim that you have mental disorders and intentionally bully you. As one of them openly said "We need to break girls at this age, otherwise there will be no discipline". Study results have nothing to do with the teaching, that is not happening. Your children will learn from tutors in all subjects. At the end you can get a perfect factory worker or a call center agent. Creativity, new ideas, self-confidence, cooperation before the competition, all of this will be deliberately ruined by this school. We are not in 19th century anymore, not even in 20th. If you put your child to this school, you will regret it but demage will be irreversible.

This school thinks it's perfect but before they doom they must look into the core problems! Unnecessary interference into personal life of parents, torturing kids, counselling them without the consent of parents, teachers taking personal vengeance with small children, spare your kids mental health and admit them into good schools in Pune!

The most un professional educational institution basking in false glories where my child was mentally tortured and false claims of learning disability very imposed on her when she was just in the 2nd standard only because she had a bad handwriting, the teachers and principal both expect all students to be brilliant without putting any effort and parents are mentally tortured and pressured into leaving the school.

I am truly happy that we took the decision to relocate our child to one of the best schools in Mumbai where she grew and excelled to get a distinction in her ICSC exams.

Please spare your child the mental torture from teachers and principal alike and find a better school where children are treated like children and given a chance to grow.

They are a failure as educator's only greedy for fame and money.

Our family moved from the United States and of course we needed to put our daughters in school immediately. One was finishing 10th grade and the other was finishing her senior year. We saw decided to see a few schools and as we lived in the area, we decided to see St Mary’s. It was an immediate no. I couldn’t bear putting my children in such a dreary place. It was abysmal. The children all just looked so sad and bored with their lives, school is meant for education yes, but not swallowing the book and regurgitating it out on the examination paper. We reviewed the curriculum and decided that it was not adequate for a further education abroad as it wasn’t vast and hands on. The Indian education system doesn’t permit the higher grades to use a calculator! Can you imagine that? It was an absolute dire school, we couldn’t handle it. Finally, on the basis of our needs, we decided that Mercedes Benz international was the best and most proper school. Their classes are comfortable and the teachers are very well travelled. The IB curriculum is extremely well thought out and allows the children to apply conceptual knowledge rather than directly what’s from the book. I would highly suggest not to send your children to an ICSE school. Yes an IGCSE or IB education is expensive, but the ticket to go abroad is much more promised with an international education.
