At what point she learned about contingents or jumbled alphabets I do not know but academics apart she has gained valuable life skills. Read more here
Mrs Radhika Putrevu, Parent of Anvi Putrevu, M717
The message of kindness in woven subtly throughout the school experience and the teachers have managed to present us with a child who is aware of and kind to the environment and animals around us. All in all, the memories and experiences that our family garnered in 717 will stay with us for a long time to come and will be cherished close to our hearts. Read more here
