Extremely pathetic management. So many initial glitches which didn't stabilise even post the mid term. Get in touch which the parents who have enrolled in the school before proceeding with admission to this school.

My son has been studying in the Pre-Primary section of GIIS Balewadi school since last year. Our experience with the school has been great so far. The teachers of the GMP section have been amazing and very supportive towards the overall growth of all the children. My son developed a lot of confidence eventhough the classes were online. The school encorages students to participate in various events and competitions (intra and inter school) to boost their confidence and all-round development. Learning is also made easy and fun. The school did face teething problems while resuming offline classes this year, specially with transport. But they did get in control of the situation as soon as they could. Things and routines are streamlined now. We are happy and satisfied with the positive changes that we are seeing in our child because of this school and teachers.

Overall, good school when it comes to an academics as well as extracurricular activities. My son got lot of exposure to different competition and learning experience where child can interact with students from other locations(within and outside of India) The teachers are experts in their field and very cooperative. You can easily track your child’s progress through the various parent-teacher meetings. The meetings help you to interact with the teachers and clear all your doubts. I actually reserved 1 star for improvement like management, outer infra etc. otherwise it's great school. Happy to be part of GIIS Balewadi.

No one in admissions and reception responds to calls and mails. This is a basic courtesy which can be expected from management to have a clear and transparent communication. After 2 months, finally I have got the refund of security deposit and 1 month tuition fees. Thanks you.

I have applied for withdrawal of admission around 3 months back and still I am waiting for the security desposit refund to be processed. I have been asking them through email on the security deposit refund, everytime they mentioned it is in process, not sure how much time they will take. While taking the fees they don't take too much time, but while returning it, they are taking their own time. I am glad that I have changed the school for my ward as hearing many complaints about the school on uniforms, transportation, road to school etc. No crystal clear communication from management team, very unprofessional behavior.

Attaching some photos of this world class schools' parking. People might slip and fall from bikes on this road. They inform about any changes very late. No pre-planning at all. I've to check for emails before leaving for school. The teaching methods etc seem fine but this daily mud mess is crazy.

Very bad management. Trasport is very very very very very bad. Took money timely always. Very tough to contact any officials. Most of the time they dont pickup calls. Really fustrated. Teachers are the only good part of the school. but they will not help much as your kid will not be able to reach school on time by bus.

School please read your responses against the parents comments. You cannot improve till you have this attitude that I am doing what is best possible. You are very much aware that you are not running this school like a normal school. You have kept Pune-shirdi, Pune-mahabaleshwar buses for the kids and not school buses. Many a times only one teacher takes the whole day classes as you don't have sufficient teachers. I doubt that you will improve anytime soon though I pray for the improvement.

Pathetic is the word. I wish no stars for this school.I regret taking admission in this school for my daughter. I already feel that in the second month itself. Right from day one things are bad and mismanaged. All they worry about is their fees. After taking enough time also they are incapable of managing transport. School buses are not proper school buses. They are providing those travel buses. Poor and eleventh hour communication. Emergency numbers are just for name sake. Nobody answers them. I don't feel my child is secured here with this kind of transport. Dirty toilets. Unskilled and rude teachers. My child dosent feel a good environment. She doesn't want to go to school. I feel guilty for taking a wrong decision for this school for my child. Don't go by their admission tactics. Now we have to wait for entire year and bear this to change the school.

I recently taken admission here for my son and not a single day went well apart from admission. Everytime they do communication in last minute so you should be ready to change your plans, office meetings, office works. The management here thinks that, we parent don't have any other work apart from checking their e-mails and changing plans according to last minutes changes done by school management. - They postpone school reopening two times in June. - The trasport facility got cancelled two times, April and June so you have to manage yourself. - Link for online classes shared few hours before school time. People say, it's a pathatic management but actually there is no management, only school building with lot of fees against value they are giving. On a positive note, there are multiple township developing near school area so people are looking for good school nearby townships and GIIS could be one if they would perform well and gives values to our kids. Now, I am counting on them, if they perform and manage school well, I am happiest person to change my review.

My daughter studies here from last 3 years, I wish we had option of not giving even 1 star, because this school management doesn't even give their 2 scents to the regularisation of basics, schools reopened, they have no valid explanation why kids in this school is missing out on basic rights of education, all they want is fees for doing nothing. Please don't go by advertisements and big bill board campaigns. Pathetic education standards Dearth of efficient teachers Poor transportation facility Unhygienic toilets Last moment reporting system, hence you simply can't rely on them for your kids responsibility. No one from management will turn up, they are best turning deaf, keep minting money via new admission, and keep avoiding parents and kids eho are already associated.

Oh my God not sure where to start, School was doing good in Covid time, they quickly switch to online mode with all required tools, Google classroom, Zoom etc. But story changed when to start physical school from this year Feb 2022, Initially they were in dilemma to start school in Feb or March, but then they started school in new term in April 2022 without transportation facility, they sited the reason of not many child have opted to transportation, There was lot of trouble to pick and drop to kids to school as school is outskirts of the Mahalunge. School supposed to start in 6th June 2022 but date changed to 13th June without proper reason and justification at last min, Again date changed at last min to 15th June without any reason and there will not be any transportation till 4th July 2022, Major issues no proper communication, no reply to parents email, no appointments to meet school management, not enough teachers, no clean premise list is long And Major trust deficit between school management and parents now. Advice to Management : Please think logically, simple thing if your school is outside the city, you can not afford to not have transport, Since you are not replying to emails need to write on public platform, hope you wake up and start resolving issues, you are giving troubles to 900 students and their families.

I wish Google had an option of giving zero star. There is one word for the school "Pathetic". This is my kids second year and till last year things were still ok as everything was going online. This year I observed a sudden change. 1) Poor Communication : The school is highly incompetent when it comes to communication. No matter how many times you message or call them they won't reply or call you back. You start feeling helpless and eventually either keep quiet or go and visit the school. After visiting the school you get lame excuses that the phone lines don't work properly hence we can't communicate. Everytime you get a mail just a day before the deadline.Let it be school reopening, transportation or anything else. 2) Transportation : We have been given false promises of transportation from past 2 months which till date have not been fulfilled. Very conveniently they send us a mail a day before school reopening date stating that the school opening date has been postponed & they can't provide the transportation. However the transportation fees & school has been taken well in advance. 3) It's the only school I know of which runs on hybrid mode. The teachers surely can't pay attention to the kid sitting in the class & kids attending online which create complete chaos. When you visit the school they give you false promises of resolving all the issues which till date have not been resolved. I might change the review if the school look into these matters.Im really hopeful that they will take parents problem in consideration and work towards it as the principal & co- ordinator seems to be really kind & good at heart. If you want to go through all the miserable time we parents are going through please enroll your kid here.

Third time the school is getting postpone that to a day before start date... Not allowing parents to meet Admin or principal..lack of teachers..Dirty washroom..No reply of our queries and e-mail. Does not Deserve one star also.

Won't suggest this school. Highly mismanaged, One of the communication medium is their app, which never functions. The so called coordinators never respond before 10-12 days of follow up. Transport is one of their major woes which is beyond their level to sort.
