One of the older schools of Bangalore located in Indira Nagar is St. Thomas Public School. It was earlier called Oxford Public School.

Second language: Kannada, Hindi
Class Strength: about 75-80

Remark: Since the school's been there for a long time, there are is more intake. Kindergarten teaching is good, not sure how they manage with a huge strength. Tests are conducted periodically (3 unit tests in a term) . Three language system from class 1 onwards.
Teaching is good, but student strength in all classes are huge within small classrooms.
ReplyDeleteteaching is excellent but facilities are minimal but i studied in this school and its left an indelible mark in my life ...am proud to have had studied in this school..love their annual day celeb..
ReplyDeletethe worst school in bangalore...they terrorize children...rude principal and headmistress
ReplyDeletethey have arounr 65 children in each class...dont know how they fit large numbers in small classrooms
ReplyDeletewell i studied in this school and passed out with flying colors. I do agree the lack of infrastructure for sports but academic-wise this school is good-there were 45 students in my class when i last studied there...i don't find it as a huge number
ReplyDeleteTHE BES......................T SCHOOL IN BANGALORE . THE EDUCATION PROVIDED IS EXCELLENT.
ReplyDeleteI'M PROUD TO HAVE STUDIED IN THIS SCHOOL. THE STAFF, TEACHERS , MAINLY PRICNIPAL AND HEADMISTRESS IS VERY LOVING, CARING, AND VERY SUPPORTIVE. THANK U SCHOOL FOR GIVING ME THE BEST EDUCATION.
No playground..small classrooms..very poor infrastructure....vice principal is not all fit to be in any school..not a good place..
ReplyDeletewhether they have 8the class onwards.
ReplyDeleteTeaching standards are really good. Headmistress and Principal should look at children as children and do something to reduce the stress in studies. Too much complicated question papers starting 1st standard itself. Also try to set standards for admission to ICSE classes than giving admissions blindly and at a later stage (say Class 7th) push the student to State Syllabus. Need to maintain professionalism a bit here.
ReplyDeleteGiven a bit more care, should be the best school in bangalore
I agree, little bit more professional approach in selection and admissions to ICSE classes and eforts in reducing the strength of each class would definitely improve the overall standards.
ReplyDeleteHow do you rate this school as excellent ? I am surprised!!!.
ReplyDeleteNo Parent teacher meetings and no PTA formed. School dictates and keep individual meetings between Teacher and student's parents. By this way they avoid getting opinions collectively frm the parents.
Children are not treated as children, just slaves, n care for children a bit backward in studies and they are bilittled infront of ther children.
No morale, Principal & Headmistress Boasts about themselves and their school. Pure dictatorship
there is no other school than this in bangalore.it is difficult to find such headmistress.she is very loving and caring
ReplyDeleteidiotic school !!
ReplyDeleteyou must be an idiot , not the school
DeleteHead MIstress - BITCH !! BULLDOG !!!
ReplyDeleteKala Devi - A feminine DOG !!! :D a total pain..

if you have the guts , please publish your name as well !
DeleteThey wud oly torture ur kids...if ur a gal n a boy talks(how Eva small they r)....the teachers will make u believe tat ur child is in a relationship... they wudnt let ur child breathe! No extra activities AT ALL....
ReplyDeletegood school, education is exellent but no extra ciricular activities..
ReplyDeletethe worst school in the whole wide world !!!!!! Do not send ur children into hell knowingly !!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteu call ths school a hell then wats ur home called
Deleteexcellent school
ReplyDeleteevery child is given utmost care.
they aim for the overall development of a child's morality which is not liked by the students so they hate the headmistress. but she is really very good at heart.
St. Thomas school is not there for the public but for the management to make money. Too small class rooms and they accommodate 5 kids on a bench meant for two. Kids are complaining about back ache since they don't have space to sit comfortably.Any complaints on this regards to the principal would not be entertained but the principal will ask you to take your kid to some other school.
ReplyDeleteThe management and the principal sucks.
ReplyDeleteOK the pros:-
ReplyDelete(1) An almost amazing level of academic education (surefire 90% above result; with the exception of those deranged by IQ; anyone else, teachers WILL elevate you to great results)
(2)Untiring efforts from teachers (they DO NOT give up on students or leave even a microscopic portion of the syllabus UNTAUGHT; VERY UNLIKE some schools where teachers leave whole chapters incomplete).
(3) Good "Atmosphere" ; this school ensures a decent adherence of students to "moral code", so don't worry about your wards deviating from the right path (no sarcasm intended).
The Cons:
(1) Poor infrastructure yada-yada-yada; must have got enough of that already.
(2) Poor Physical activity; class 7 gets about 1 pt/week and high school gets NONE!! Even though there's no ground (u must hav heard about that already) i think they can step up the no. of PT classes.
(3) Sometimes (mostly in high school) teachers enjoy getting under students' skins over trivial issues.
(4) The school should really loosen up on the boy-girl-barrier mantra. Not too much, just the present extremism of the situation can be extinguished.
WELL, there you have it: the + and - of St. Thomas....(though some may say the pain outweighs the prize) I'll say it's a good school if you're looking for brilliant results, excellent ICSE education and a good moral base.
And I am of course, a product of St. Thoams
The BEST school that I have ever come across!!! There is nice homely atmosphere, caring teachers and if you send your kid here, he or she WILL pass out with flying colours!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAn excellent school with good faculty and care but lacks proper infrastructure , but proud to be an alumni and the best school in bengaluru for academics only
ReplyDeleteGUD school I passed out with flying colors as the topper yah!!!
ReplyDeleteI am an alumni of this school.I secured wonderful marks. Excellent teaching .If u admit ur child here he/she definitely has a bright future and blessings of all teachers.Oh! I do not have enough words to appreciate!!!
ReplyDeleteHello!!! anyone to comment on the present quality of the school (2017).. earlier threads seems to be very old and also seems that the staff themself have defended for the negative comments..
ReplyDeleteHi.. I am looking for admission for my child in this school. Can someone plz advise on school. The high strength looks scary
