Glimpses
Parent Testimonial
Micky and Sandeep Mathur, Parents of Saanjali and Saranya, M718
It’s a small school which is great for the little ones. You get to know other parents and kids quickly and easily. And since no one nationality dominates, the kids get a cosmopolitan feel and learn to embrace many cultures. I would highly recommend EtonHouse 718 for its fun based learning approach, hands-on teachers and beautiful surroundings. Read more here
Nivedita Subramaniam, Parent of Akshara and Advait, M718
When I was looking for pre-school for my twins, Advait and Akshara, I just wanted a “happy” school with lots of outdoor space for the children to play. The EtonHouse at 718 Mountbatten not only has a big outdoor play area and cozy classrooms but more importantly, the teachers are warm, friendly and nurture children’s inquisitive minds and instil confidence.

Lindie Oppermann, Parent of Neine, Carli and Nadia, M718
This beautiful little school was the perfect place for our children to start their schooling. It is an incredibly friendly environment with a lot of emphasis on relationship building, nature appreciation, the stimulation of the child's natural curiosity, and the appreciation of the child as a wonderful individual. The small class sizes and the great student-teacher ration, of course, help to achieve this. Read more here
