Comparison of Noida Expressway schools

Schools are mushrooming on Noida Expressway. Since Expressway provides an easy connectivity to southern part of Delhi, it is finding favor of parents from the capital as well. Infact, as of now, almost 40% students in these schools have origins from Delhi. With an expected population of another 1 to 1.5 lakhs to move to the region by next 3-4 years, the competition for the best is going to be even more intense.

ShriramMillenium

Almost all schools on Noida Expressway are categorized as International, World or Global schools thereby implying a heavy on pocket fee structure. Most of these schools on Expressway are reportedly following international methodology for teaching and  overall development of children.

While most of the schools are in growing phase (both infrastructure and experience wise), we tried to come up with a general perception of the schools based on parent’s reviews, faculty, results and existing infrastructure.

The references (on the basis of which the below feedback has been arrived to) are shared at the bottom of the article.

Class X results of some of these schools have been updated here.

Update: Academic rankings of schools have been updated based on 10th and 12th class CBSE 2015 results of Class X and XII. Please note there are few schools that are yet to participate in board examinations and hence may not find themselves among the high rankers.

Many of the above schools are still in very initial stage of establishment but are expected to do much better with time on Infra, Academics and Extra co-curricular activities.

      I was in a similar situation last year but I chose lotus valley finally. overall this is what I felt: if you don’t want child to appear from exams till class 5, if you don’t have time to put effort with your kid at home, then go for gyanshree. otherwise, staff of lvis is much more mature. especially if you have a long term goal, lvis is better.

    Hi,
    You can check for the Global Indian International School (GIIS) sector 70 as well, which is quite close to sector 120.
    My kid is going there.
    Initially I was little concerned as for me the fee was little higher, but after seeing the progress of my kid, now I feel satisfied.
    For a kid upto class KG the fees is approx 7500 (+ 3500 bus fees) monthly
    Now my kid has come to class 1 and fees is increased for 9200 (+3600 bus fees) monthly.

    Hope this information may help you.

      Unfortunately some parents did take out their kids from Somerville intl due to three prime reasons – lack of individual attention and very little focus on co and extra curricular activities and infra. Among the ones you mentioned, TSMS is obviously best followed by Shiv nadar and then Mayoor.

      Somerville International-Disciplined, relatively senior staff, relatively poor student teacher ratio, higher fees
      Gyanshree-Very similar to JBM, new school with lot of focus on extra curricular activities.

      Assume this is for nursery admission. They would ask the kid in a non-formal manner about some shapes and colors in the room they sit in. And may ask him/her about his/her likings for food and sports. Rest will be a couple of questions to you like why this school, what will you do if you are unsatisfied with the school and what are your ambitions for the child.

        Gyanshree has done decently well this academic season. Good thing is they have drafted in some good academician of late. While it is still expected to take some time, it might end up in league of top 7 noida expressway school by next academic season, next to Shriram Millenium, SBS, Lotus valley, Shiv nadar, Mayoor, Genesis.

    Thank you for developing this forum. Its indeed a great platform for parents to gain insights for school admissions in Noida.

    My son is 2 right now and would be staring his play school in April 2017.

    In 2017 I need to apply for his 2018 admissions.

    I have shortlisted TSMS as the first priority for my sons admission followed by other schools that too on Noida Expressway itself but since I stay in Indirapuram, should I try to get my son admitted in pre nursery in 2018 or wait another year and get him admitted in Nursery in 2019.

    Considering the distance, Is it worth sending the child in pre nursery from Indirapuram to TSMS? Although there are kids going to TSMS in Nursery from Indirapuram.

    Appreciate your outlook.
    Thanks

      Thanks for the kind words. It is imperative for parents to closely and frequently participate in schools events and interaction. The distance you are talking of could be a reasonable hindrance to this. Hence, my suggestion would be to re-think. You could try some relatively closer schools in Noida central region for seeking advanced learning and attention. Millenium school could be one of them.

    How do you feel about TSMS, Noida (The Shriram Millenium School). Means how is it doing now in terms of academics & extra curricular. You think it will emerge as strongly as Shriram School, Gurgaon. I read that Noida TSMS is a joint venture between Educomp & Shriram group. So I guess its the same difference as being DPS managed & franchisee. Will it come out to be one of the best ones in terms of academics also in years to come in Noida. My kids will be going to Class 3,4. So for now its OK. But is it like I may have to shift them to more academically oriented schools around their 8th Class. Or may be TSMS improves by then. Your insights on this will help me decide.

      If you compare teachers of various schools on Noida expressway, you will find that teachers from Step by step and Shriram are the most experienced.
      The biggest asset of Shriram are immaculately planned Extra curricular activities that lead to overall personality change of the child. They are not too hard on the child. At the same time, they promote what child is good at and give enough stress on where he/she needs to improve upon.
      DPS franchisee is an altogether different ball game. These are individuals not necessarily from DPS past that associate themselves with DPS to form franchisee. On the other hand, Shriram is the front runner in Shriram Millenium school.
      The biggest issue some feel is ICSE board which is broader in comparison to what one would have in CBSE board. If you are comfortable with that, you may well opt for it.

    Your doing a great job on this web-site. An overall one-stop guide about the best schools in NOIDA and around.

    In my case — I am going to move to Sector 150 soon. I personally prefer Army Public School because of fee, discipline and academics with overall development. However from Sector 150 APSN will be a long and unfair distance for the child.

    I have one more 2 yr old son, who will also join school soon.. looking for a decent school. I like TSMS but find the fee too high for two kids..! I wish Army School was on Expressway.. . kindly guide accordingly..!

    TSMS follows IGCSE board if that matters…Shiv Nadar follows a learning methodology which is generally perceived as being too lenient with kids…most schools on the expressway aren’t ready yet to evaluated on academic results yet. the key considerations have been the learning methodology followed, infrastructure, extra co-curricular activities promoted. On these dimensions, Pathways and Genesis take the cake. However, the fees structure is an issue with most parents. SBS, Gyanshree, Shiv Nadar are the second best layer in my opinion as assessed on the parameters mentioned above.

        what would be the difference in career options for children passing out of different boards say CBSE IN SNS VS ICSE IN SRM, also what is the current status of board results given by these two schools till date?
        mean while i visited both the schools and found out that infrastructure of SNS is way better than SRM and hence it deserves that fee structure, however when i met parents of children at SRM i found them to be highly satisfied with overall progress of their children, few parents at SNS were a lil bit concerned about lack of academics at SNS .

      Parents of Father Agnel are the most satisfied of the lot you have mentioned. Mayoor and Somerville are similarly placed.

      No, results are not out as yet. They typically take 2 to 3 weeks to come up with the initial list.

    Hi
    We have recently shifted to Prateek Laurel in Sector 120, Noida. Our daughter is Sep 2013 born and will be eligible for Nursery for AY 2017-18. We are looking for good schools for her and need help. There is Millenium School, Sec 122 very close by. How is this school branch ? DPS Sec 122 is also announced, and will come up in 2 years, till then, the classes will be held in Sec 30 branch. How are these two options ? Else, should we look at Expressway schools, which will be at least a 30-45 mins bus journey away ? If Expressway, then which schools on expressway are good ? We are looking at all-round development of child, including academics, extra-curricular and inculcation of good value systems. Fees is not a constraint. Kindly suggest. Thanks!

      You should try Millenium school. DPS franchises are yet to prove themselves and have been no match to actual DPS management. Expressway shall be far and hence wont suggest the same especially for junior classes.

        hi vaibhav and author,

        Even we are from same location and my kid got selected in DPS 122 Noida in KG for 2017-18 session. Since the Sec122 school is not ready therefore the intial classes will be held in DPS Sector 30, Noida for 2-3 years.

        As confirmed by the principle this will not be a franchise but a core DPS school which will be directly managed by DPS Society. This sounds convincing but still not able to decide whether we should go ahead or not.

        As per DPS they have already purchased the land in Sector 122 and in next 2-3 years, school will be constructed in Sector 122.

        Kindly share your views and also please update if anyone has any idea of this or anyone’s kid has been selected

        Regards,

        Garima

      The Millennium School sector 119 Noida will be the best! My children have been studying there for past 3 years and we are very much happy with this one. Before yhis, they were in mayoor, apeejay and lotus valley -all three of whom were disappointing!

    Hi,

    Need some help in choosing the right school for my daughter’s admission in nursery. We let go Amity International and now facing a choice between Apeejay, Gyanshree and Shiv Nadar. Shiv Nadar’s result are yet to declared though. As of now, really impressed with Gyanshree post visiting the school and having an interaction with the principal. However, Apeejay is an old established school which I too studied from. Haven’t found a negative/cynical comment on Gyanshree yet other than from the blogger/author. Kindly help with your suggestions.

    Hi Sonia,

    Though I also have a small daughter and I am looking forward to putting my daughter in any of the schools, but from whatever knowledge I have gained through parents interaction and other things, I will try to answer your query.

    There are extra-curricular activities in Amity but not so brilliant. They try to involve kids in many things but its upto the parent to strengthen the command of the child in any activity. School will just provide an initial push. I know of some kids who have done brilliantly in inter-school skating competitions but then I would give credit to the parents here, not the school. I hope you understand what I am trying to mean here. School will just involve you superficially, to go beyond excellence in a particular sport or creative thing such as music is upto the parents.

    As far as I know, they do not have a meal facility.

      Hi Ashish,

      Its not very tough to get admission in any of the above mentioned schools if you compare it with say DPS Noida or Amity as the no. of people who opt for such schools are fewer maybe because of higher fee structure or their new teaching methodology. They have a healty interaction with both the kid and parents. But if you go once and get selected and after that you back out, then they would never consider you in future.

    Hi,

    We are seeking nursery admission(2017-18) for our daughter. We are confused between getting her admitted to JBM global for first years and then shift her to some established schools in central Noida OR getting her directly admitted to Amity International School from Nursery itself.
    We have budget limit of 25-30K per quarter. Please suggest?

    Thanks

    Is it true that vbps noida doesn’t pay much attention on english speaking and fluency?how is the attention given to individual child as ratio is high of students? Is it worth withdrawing the admission from vbps for The Khaitan school noida? suggest few good schools for a quick learner but a bit shy child nearby sector 50 ? results are on hold for amity and somerville noida .what about father agnel and cambridge (fee structure and academically)?

      I know a few ppl who have moved their child from khaitan to vbs. In vbs, individual attention is limited. However, 50% of the child are quite well versed and all rounders.

      Please have a look at our latest article for ranking of noida schools on key parameters:

    Plus Ashish the core Shriram school in Delhi and Gurgaon started with ICSE board long back with great success and I guess this is the reason they have stuck to it. However all new Shriram Global schools which are coming up are affiliated to CBSE.

    THE SHREE RAM MILLENIUM SCHOOL IS ICSE NOT CBSE ? IS ICSE BOARD GOOD AS COMPARED TO CBSE . ? WHY TSMS NOT AFFILATED TO CBSE WHEN ALL OTHER SCHOOLS ARE AFFILATED ?

      You are right Ashish. TSMS is ICSE only. ICSE is considered more exhaustive in comparison to CBSE hence the course and curriculum are more lengthier and cumbersome. But school has paid due diligence to ensuring children are up to the speed. The reason for not going for CBSE must be the fact that it is one of very few exclusively ICSE affiliated schools and then there is no dearth of children for admissions to TSMS. Moreover, CBSE requires completely different faculty operating at different levels of competency. Hence, managing both is difficult. So, they dont find a reason for change.

    I am confused between GIIS and Millennium school noida, I live around that area and these two schools are in proximity, I am looking for my kid’s nursery admission. Global follows Montessori method and looks good for holistic development however play ground there is not big enough and may not be a good option as kid progresses to higher classes. This looks good overall except this part.

    Millennium is fine infrastructure wise and has more wider presence across states also they seem to have somewhat proven record on the 10th and 12th CBSE exams, whereas Global in noida is still till 9th class only, so there is no historical results to look at. Millennium’s method is also aimed towards holistic development of kids. Please suggest which one should we opt for?

      Millenium has done very well with Shriram as part of Shriram Millenium collaborated schools. So, they have a lineage. We feel Millenium is a better choice on most of the counts.

    Hi,
    We are looking for admission for my son in nursery for 2017-18 academic session.
    He is Feb 2013 born.
    He is selected in Somerville international, but we are not sure about this school
    We have also tried in Somerville sector 22, vishwa bharti out of traditional schools.
    We did not receive call for interaction from DPS, Noida and he is not eligible in Amity and Apeejay.
    Now, we are in confusion as we are residing in Sec 52 currently at rent. We’ll be moving to Sector 100 in a year or two.
    Shall we try in mayoor and lotus valley as well keeping future location in mind?
    Or shall we go for Somerville, sector 22 or vishwa bharti (if selected) ?
    Or shall we go for Somerville international?
    We have to keep our child in daycare also. We are looking for a balanced school. We do not want to send our child to super rich crowd school either as we are upper middle class and want a similar crowd.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks!!

    Hi
    I live in sector 121 noida and looking for admission for my son in nursery class for 17-18 batch. I am bit confused between traditional schools like DPS,Somerville,VBS,Khaitan,Amity etc and new age school like Genesis,Gyanshree,SBS,TSMS,Shiv Nadar,Lotus Valley etc. My child is very reserved so was preferring to send him to school with better teacher to child ratio. Is my perception right that traditional schools have high teacher to child ratio? If correct please rate new age schools mentioned above. I dont have a budget constraint if school is good.
