Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Just the thread i was looking for, got clue to search for it once i saw a new thread on Pune schools mentioning about this thread. My daughter currently goes to Vibgyor in Harlur Road, lately we see the overall quality and attention given to kids is decreasing and this is bothering us to a certain extent. At the same time the Trustee of Vibgyor (Sawal Das Jethani) has opened another school called Chrysalis High (Bangalore School - Chrysalis High). Looks to be more premium and international but without any backing or brand name. Any views on Vibgyor and Chrysalis High? |

Honestly, one of our main reasons to go with Vibgyor, and in 2008 it wasnt so well establised, was that the daily commute should not take more than 30-40 minutes, and this school was one of the closest to us hence the choice, but no regrets whatsoever. If I may ask which part of Poona do you live in? Cheers. | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() There is a Vibgoor High (and Kids) in Pune as well, you might want to look if its closer to your place. We have herd good reviews of this school in Mumbai. VibgyorHigh Seems there are two of them in Pune at the following location (NIBM, Balewadi). The kiddo can go to Nursery and then graduate to higher classes (No running round hunting for schools every few years) ![]() |

We of course review before the end of each year whether to continue or to change but so far haven't found too many reasons to change. Further whatever gripes that we have heard are more or less common to all schools in this bracket! | |

| ![]() I heard that Bishop's is opening a branch in Wagholi. My son goes to Bishop's Undri (even though I stay in Kalyani Nagar). For the first two years, the teachers where great, last year the teacher was terrible, this year the teacher is OK. Even in the same institution, quality of teachers vary and it is sometimes luck what you get that year. |

| ![]() Vibgyor itself was an offshoot of Kangaroo kids, if I remember right. They have had misunderstandings among Management for long. Initial years, their Marathahalli school had a good reputation which seems to be fading away. I think our member Wildon's wife is a teacher there and he should be able to give you the correct picture. |

We are specifically looking for how is effort spent on child development and not necessarily studies and grades. Here is their web site Inventure Academy | Best International School in Bangalore, Leading International School in Bangalore |

| ![]() #cediafan My wife and son confirmed that class sizes are approx 45-50. This has not been a problem for us. What are the class sizes in other schools? Do the numbers increase as the years increases? #nanduchitnis I heard that the 'Mercedes-Benz School' fees are in excess of 1.5Lacs per year! Bishop's fees are less than Rs.30,000 per year. |

| ![]() Hi. My son went to Bishop's Kalyani Nagar in Nursery for 2010-11 session, before we moved to Gurgaon. My son and we were very satisfied with the school. No significant complaint heard from other parents (whose kids went to different classes/sections) at bus stop during entire year. Once you are in, don't have hassle of looking for other schools as long as you are in Pune. And Bishop's charges a very reasonable fee (realised after moving to Gurgaon).
