Upload it now!School is good academics wise how ever there is no open forum for feedback and suggestion. Principal at times is very arrogant/rude and may not even listen or understand your point. Its a one way talk always. They also have many miscellaneous charges time to time other then monthly fees. I will suggest to look for other options and keep this one as last.
- by Sahil on Dec 27, 2013If somebody wants to admission in this school before going to school office talk to any parents whose children are already in this school and then decide. As there are lot of pain you have to suffer once you joined the school. They are very arogant not ready to listen anything and have lot of ideas to pull money without any receipt. If you try to discuss something they takes it personal and insult your child in assembly in front of all children.
So first talk to any parent and then decide.
This is the not the right school for education. The Management is money minded and will make activities to expend more and more. Have very limited staff who is managing everything (Teaching and Clerical). Management does not have time to meet parents but has lot of complaints. There is absolutely no administration. As mentioned by earlier reviews, kindly check with existing parents before taking admission. Please do not join it.
- by Parent on Jan 16, 2014It is obvious that some people have vested interest in discrediting the school. The discipline and care given to the students is excellent. In fact ,small numbers ans stress on values ensures that the students will turn out well groomed and wonderful human beings.
- by Hasnain on Jan 27, 2014Not very happy with the Management of the School. They are very money minded and spend more on activities and less in studies. Lack of teaching staff, hence lot of portion go un-covered and book are unchecked. Follow their own set of rules.
- by Anonymous on Mar 19, 2014St.Mathews sucks big time. My middle finger gets a boner when I think of it. Only money minded people present. No qualified teachers. Also takes lots of donation.
- by Parent on Apr 05, 2014School has two campuses and the teaching and administrative staff are excellent. the school maintains its exclusivity by having only 30-35 students in a class.Luxurious amenities such as a library with over 2000 books, a football field, a basketball court/ tennis court, nature corner, play area area the student's disposal Only classes 1-5 have two divisions, rest only 1. Alot of importance is given to the overall development of the child and playing sports is encouraged. Other extra-cirriculars such as music, vocal and instrumeantal, quizes, debates and health and envioronmental drives are conducted regularly. Teachers are very helpful and go out of their way to make a child feel like he/she is in their comfort zone.

- by parent. on May 29, 2014i read all reviews before I started typing. Well, i respect everyone's view but as far as taking donations is concerned THE ALLEGATION IS UTTERLY FALSE. I have been to st helena's, bishops , spicer and I know how they are taking donations and manipulating with the selection lists. In fact the 1st thing the principal of st mathews mentioned was that they don't accept donations. and I dint have to pay any....yes Head of the institution is very strict but what the matter..as long as out wards and children are doing well...i am satisfied with how my child is learning..how were are made aware of the child's progress/limitation at the PTM is fairly transparent.
Talking about MONEY-mindedness again I have strict reservation. The school is very clear and transparent about their fee structure unlike the schools mentioned above. The principal is an alumni of la matiniere, ex-principal of hutchings high school pune for 14 years, currently holds a member position in ICSE board, we should be having faith in her skills. But yes Dr Mathews can mellow down a bit when it comes to talking to parents. Otherwise I have no personal grudge over nanimaa.
I have read all the reviews, parents who are negative, Please talk to your own child first about the care and attention given to them.
Also take into consideration about the safety of your child, ad please do not right about the principal as she knows what she is doing. and charges/ money issues its all transparent as my 2 kids are in this school for last 7 years.
Do agree that staff keeps changing, but not a big issue.
NEW PARENTS LOOKING FORWARD FOR ADMISSIONS:::: CAN WRITE TO MY KIDS OR AND SENIOR KID
A well disciplined school. Teachers are very helpful. Overall very nice school. I would recommend to all.
- by Mariya on Mar 22, 2019Not satisfied lack of studies lots of chapters are uncovered. They over exaggerate the discipline in school. Whole focus is given to the appearance of child rather than the academics. Teachers don't even provide appropriate notes for the child. They also ask for money for unnecessary petty things. Really bad conduction on the basis of studies.
- by Ghazala on Apr 03, 2019It has been found the school dresses are not available at any shops easily. The specific shops assigned by school is not able to make supply to parents on time and school not allowing kids to come in school with other dress.
Shortage of Dresses and service at urbane. Teaches staff are not well qualified. Even it came to know that teachers are restricting students for writing in cursive letters as they are unable to read cursive. More question and queries will come out soon as i think like this is not good school.
