With English being such an important subject and the primary spoken language in school, how will Podar help my kid improve their English?

At Podar International School, we make learning more fun and less like a chore. The idea is to get your kid to enjoy what they do. To make sure they learn English better, we will take the following measures:

• All students are encouraged to speak English through the day at school.
• We take extra classes for students who we think need additional help.
• Through different technologies introduced in the classrooms, students are taught to learn and cope with English better.
• English Experts from the UK are part of the Podar faculty and travel to every Podar International School. They interact with the teachers and students improving English language communication skills, phonics, pronunciation etc.

If we decide to relocate to another part of the country, will Podar International School help with an internal transfer?

100% we will. Podar International School has 131 educational institutes across India. Hence, you will never have trouble finding one of our centres close to you. All our internal transfers happen at no extra cost and the only amount you may have to pay is the difference in school fees at the two locations.
PS: We give preference to Podar International School alumni in case of transfers.

Can you elaborate a little about the Between Us web portal provided by the school?

• It facilitates parent-teacher communication.
• Students’ behaviour is reported.
• Daily activities of students are reported.
• Attendance of students is reported.
