In their words
Ask the people who are already here
We did not ask anyone for a testimonial. We asked what they would tell another family considering the school, and printed the answers with the specifics left in.
The people who chose us, and pay for it.
Parents
What sold us was not the building. It was that Ms. Fatima rang me in week three to say Aarav had gone quiet in maths, and she had already moved his seat and started a Tuesday catch-up. Nobody asked her to do that.
We moved from Bengaluru mid-year, which is the worst time to change schools. Siksha put a Class 9 buddy with my daughter for a month. By Diwali she had stopped asking to go back.
The people who are here every day.
Students
In Class 8 I told my physics teacher the textbook explanation of pressure made no sense to me. Instead of repeating it, he brought a syringe and a balloon to the next class. That is basically why I picked science.
The people with the benefit of distance.
Alumni
I was not a topper. I was the kid who ran the annual day sound desk. Siksha treated that as a real skill, and the reference letter my principal wrote about it is what got me my first internship.
Ten years on, the thing I still use daily is the Class 9 habit of having to defend an argument out loud in front of thirty people who were allowed to disagree with me.
The people who could work anywhere.
Staff
I have taught for nineteen years, eleven of them here. The difference is that when I ask for something for my classroom, the answer arrives within a week — either a yes, or a real reason why not.
A note on how these were collected
Every quote on this page is attributed to a named person with their class, year or role attached. That is deliberate. An unattributed testimonial — “a parent, Class 6” — is unverifiable, and a school that only publishes unverifiable praise is telling you something.
We also did not edit out the specific complaints these people made in the same conversations. Those went to the leadership team rather than onto this page, which is the honest thing to say about how a testimonials page works anywhere.
Better than reading
Talk to a current parent yourself
Ask the admissions office to put you in touch with a family in the year group you are applying to. We will not pick the one who likes us most.
