I have visited Silver Oaks on thursday last week and was happy with the school. I would recommend this school if you are leaving around nizampet and Junior school until 6th grade.

thanks

starhyd: why do you say you recommend upto 6th grade. This school is on our list as well incase if we dont get in schools of our choice in Hitech city or Jubilee HIlls area. I will be submitting the app some tiem this week. Their first test is on Jan 2nd for PP2 and above class admissions. For any seats that are vacant, they will conduct another test in March time frame. I heard school is good too. My concern with pollution there from cement warehouse/factories etc there that kids have to breath in

Went to this school yesterday in Bachupally. Decent campus though far from city. They have buses to parts of Kondapur, Gachibowli and Hitechcity, KPHB etc.
One of our friends kid go here for 4th and 1st grades now. They are pleased with mostly.
Submitted application for 4th grade and PP1 next year. They are very strict about agre requirement. Kid has to be 3.5 years by June 1st for PP1 and so on.
My 4th grade ( next year) kid will have test on Jan 2nd in English, Maths, Science and Telugu. No test for PP1.

This school in my back up list if we dont get in schools in Hitech city or Jubilee hills area.
here are fee details:
App fee: Rs 500
Admission Fee (donation) : 40K
Deposit: 10K
Annual fee: 7k
Tution fee: 36K for PP1, 30K for PP2, 21K for 1stgrade and above (in 3 installments)
Bus will be between 10K-15K based on distance.
They have lunch. Not sure but some where around 10-12K

They have IB program for 1st - 6th grade and follow CBSE from 7th grade. Fees wise, they are most reasonable of all IB/Cambridge kind of schools that i have seen /heard.
I have looked at Sentia, Kennedy Global as well but decided to apply for Silver Oaks but heard decent feedback on those two as well. Silver Oaks started in 2002, Kennedy in 2005 and Sentia in 2008

Senatia dosen't score well, based on the feedback from some of the parent's kids who currently go to Sentia. Silver Oaks heard is good.

Thanks Suny for the info, any thoughts/inputs on Vikas concept school and kennedy school located on the same bollaram road ? anybody pls let me know which one is best.. these are on my radar for my kids as they seem to be moderately o.k and cost effective...

I have similar question on the schools located on the bollaram road. Can anyone please let me know which of the schools are best in this area - Silver Oaks, Kennedy High, Vikas concept. My kids will be going to 8th and 3rd grade this year and I want to know if they will take in the middle of the school year.
