I had very bad experience with Orchids International School BTM.We had pre-booked for Grade I on 2019 but later due to Covid we had requested to refund the amount but unfortunately till date we haven't received it.. Management is not all responding to any calls nor email and Prinicipal Manjula committed that refund will happen but it's more than 4month now when I am following they are telling it's not possible..The counselor team , Operations team and including Principal are not not responsive to answer and respond to our concerns..If School runs with such unprofessional ethics I don't know what we can expect from teachers. I am sure I have taken good decision to discontinue my daughter ..When I haven't take single service from them how can they expect not to refund .. Very commercial platform .. kindly think twice before doing admission of your child..Their attitude will change once your traped to there...Once money is received they don't even bother to follow up.. PATHETIC EXPERIENCE
We want to express our gratitude and say a big thank you specially to K-2 teachers Nasreen mam and Venu mam and all other teachers for exceptional support and helping our son to pickup the topics which he missed because of late joining.
This school is just minting machine nothing else. Principal will never to mails and concerns. Only mails we will get to pay the school fees. Different rules for different parents. Kids are overloaded with syllabus and weekly tests. Unnecessary competitions to increase the branding of school image. Vice Principal never also responds to calls, Mails etc. Those who are giving 5 stars are from school management, they are from the different cities altogether. You can check their profiles, who is giving 5 stars. Update July 12: thank you for your response. Please ask Manjula madam to check the mail then you'll get all the mails. No need to send another mail. Thank you. Lot of parents been sending the mail from last 2 to 3 months.
Good facilities for a student, really helpful teaching and non academic staff
This school is only a commercial organization and they do nothing in spite of taking good money. both of kids studying here. The facilities are namesake The school is completely commercial . the new/current principal has come around 4 yrs before and the school has become like government school. We had very good experience with old principal, it is very easy to meet previous principal and get resolutions in a faster way. After this new principal we never seen even single meeting with parents asking about our issues or quality of studies. due to lock down all staff is only working to collect money from parents because in normal time they do lot of activities when school functioning. As everybody know that government is given order 30% return to all students. they collected full fees for last year by ignoring govt rules and when we asked about 30% they said it will adjusted to this year But this year they started telling that they don't get any official notice from govt so they can't do anything on last year fess part, so they are blocking all ERP id's of students who has not paid the first installment. they said they got information to collect full fees for last and this year. if you ask them to send official mail. either principal or vice principal won't respond. but everyday we get 4 calls for fees collection. finally we request for official mail form principal so that we can go ahead and pay the fees they are not ready to send official mail about govt decision . Course curriculum is unnecessary loaded in the name of international. They just drag the child in the name of exams and classes. They pack 6-7 classes daily and do weekly assessments/tests as if 7/8 year kids are written IIT exams today. Kid will not learn anything but too much pressure on both kid and parents. In class 2 they had Microsoft Office and Robotics, in PTI parents objected for Microsoft Office and they are considering to drop it. They do not follow NCERT books for CBSE but have their own books from their in-house K12 publication for making more money. Books like music, theater, public speaking etc are added to make extra money. Even note books come in their package so they make money. They charge you hefty on stationery and end of session send all the unused stationery to home. They take full fees for swimming and skating like activities. But they hardly teach all these, so your kid will be semi-skilled in these activities. The coordinator and the manager both are useless, they do not deserve their jobs/designations. Principle has attitude and just want to show off by adding extra classes. She does not meet easily, She never respond to any issue or you never get any mail from her for any queries which are must respond by principal . if you ask front office people they said everything ( like school fees,.. )decided by principal/vice principal , both they never respond or lift your call. you will talking to well trained fees collection team in front office all the time , they say they can't give any resolution for fees / other major concerns. so your doors are closed in all ways. you left out with leaving with frustration this unprofessional school designed to collect fees and nothing else . Teachers are okay but paid less so they keep hopping. They start slow but the last 2/3 months they speed up to finish course irrespective of kids understand or not. Good part is they started & continued online classes during entire covid period. Accounts is the only place where you will not find complain as they collect fees there. In this pandemic govt told not to hike fees , even then they increased fees of 10%.. the worst school you could imagine on this earth ...
