New Delhi - School Report Question and Answers

What letter grade (ranging from A, excellent, to F, fail) would you assign to this school based on your overall experience? Would you choose it again?

B+. And yes, because it's really the only option here if your primary language is English. It's also the largest of the foreign schools in Delhi, so many students start at the British/French/German, then they come to AES. Would I chose to come to Delhi again? No, but it's not been a bad place for the kids to go to school. - Dec 2019


A solid B. Based of its "glowing reputation", we were expecting something a little more fine tuned. AES is a good school, not the best we have come across...as noted, there appears to be a lot of unevenness and lack of preparation. For instance, some events are scheduled to conflict with other major events, parent teacher conferences at the HS level are difficult to schedule especially for working parents and you get about 8 minutes with the teachers. While welcoming to new families, there seems to be a lack of attentiveness to detail (use of acronyms for meeting rooms, a general befuddlement when parents show up for an event...I was once sent to 3 different parts of campus to find a particular meeting). - Oct 2018
