   I really liked your blog on the school and i was looking for something truly genuine in education for my daughter. After meeting with Ms Sophie, both me and my husband felt this was the perfect place for her.

   Thank you so much for this note, which convinced us that we have put her in the right place.

   Cheers

   how do the children who study in montessori method get used to the regular schools where there is a lot of rote learning, exams, lot of homework etc?

   Also, the Akshara art of learning has higher classes run in montessori method - not sure how these children would cope up with the pressure of 11 and 12th standards and other competetive exams which are a norm in india.

   The fact that we think too much about ‘what will happen’ and ‘ how will they face’, destroys half the confidence of a child…
   I personally feel, that if you let the child grow in an environment like what Akshara has to offer, the child will not only be academically strong, but will have an over all personality which will help them face life and live it to the full.
   I hated my school and teachers and till today have not gone back just for the fact that everything was so competitive and exam oriented. We being educated folks, should think of a better future for our kids and not think of how they will give their board exams a decade from now…
   As i can see, i have a very bright and beautiful future for my child in the years to come.
   God Bless Ms. Spohie and her team

   Hello,
   I second your opinion about Akshara. My nephew studied in ulsoor for 3 years and later we changed school as distance due to some reasons. He has been a part of another school till date for the academic year. However we have not been happy about the teaching method nor his progress. The method of teaching is so encouraging friendly for children in Akshara that it is incomparable. We have now decided to go back Akshara and thinking of continuing his further education until class X there, we paid a visit to Akshara at Sathnur village recently and had a tour of the premises and got to spend time in the class for a short wile. The idea of creating an environment to help children learn themselves from each other with proper support and guidance was something that impressed us a lot. In my opinion a class 1 child at Akshara is a lot sharper knowledgeable and interactive than a child in class 3 in another school.

   Genny, you made a great point and I believe every parent should look at things from a different perceptive and you clearly articulate that in you comment.

   Cheers,
   Sunil

    Hey,

    I agree that the akshara environment is very friendly for children’s learning. Children also are provided with lots of information. More importantly our child is “happy” to go to school. Here are a couple of things that the school can improve upon.

    1. sports
    2. communication with parents. ( we hardly get to know how our child is doing) Nor there is a channel in which we (parents) can express or ask for some modifications.
