Ms.Sophie has maintained a beautiful environment in the school (also has her house in the same premises) with lot of trees, plants etc. She is very passionate about teaching, montessori methods and it shows in her work and also when you talk to her about her work. She is constantly trying to improvize the teaching methods and rigorously trains her teachers. She is also known for her discipline and timeliness.

If you call this environment as good, hold your breath. Sophie has a 5-acre campus near Yelahanka which is the Akshara Primary school. It is built as a model school for Montessori with ample space for children to explore and learn in a more practical way amidst nature. There are some rumors that whole of Akshara has shifted to Yelahanka. Thats not true, its just the primary school. The pre-primary classes continue to be held at Ulsoor.
We are writing this article to promote Akshara because our daughter studied at this school for 4 years and we are extremely happy about what she has learnt there and the person she is today. We would like to share this experience with others in the hope that they find it helpful and benefit from it.

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.
