Edify School

I am thinking of shifting to Bannerghatta seeing the large number of school coming up in this area just this year alone. Should think seriously though. Another new school which made me thinking is Edify School. I had seen career options for all sections of the school recently and next comes the ad for admissions.
So here goes about the school, though you can gouge all the details from the website.

Still to know the exact address of the school, which implies: has construction work finished or going on or yet to start? Anyone has more details do send in your outlook to the comments section.

Update(March 15, 2009): I have updated the school address,phone and email.Their website has also been updated so I changed a few things in my previous post.

Another interesting thing to note is "Teachers meet parents at the child's residence", Customized curriculum, online student tracking, Breakfast, lunch and snacks provided.

Classes: Nursery till 12th(only in South and North campus)
Activities: They have lots of activites, horse riding, swimming, mini tennis etc. Do check out the individual schools for particulars. They have hobby classes and club activities.
Language options: French, German, Hindi, Kannada
Class Strength: About 30 students per class. Classes extend till H sections also.
Home work: Moderate amount of homework is given.

Admission: For Kindergarten, based on observation/interaction. You have to fill in a registration form(about Rs.600 for brochure), then you will be initimated by email, for a school visit.
For 1st till 11th, there will be written test and after that interaction.
They take into consideration your address, DPSite earlier, siblings in DPS etc.

Admission starts on the last week of November (it was 20th last year and this year too.) and it is followed uniformly in all the DPS Bangalore schools.Registration form can be downloaded from the site ( still the old form has been put up).

Admission tests have been carried out from November till March. Interviews have taken from April first week and results announced till May.
You can post your queries in any of the DPS sites you are interested. Be it admission or transport.
 
Fees: In 2007-2008 the north campus charged 25K per annum(Excluding bus; including tution, magazine,activities, misc) Check out here.
A report in Mid-Day suggested that the fees for 2008-2009 was 4900 per term, then they increased it to 6150 per quarter in 2009-2010.So the tution fees must be around 25K.

(Updated on 22 Oct, 2009): I asked around and was told the admission fees plus refundable deposit comes to around 50K. Annual fees is around 25K (primary classes).
The DPS site might state the fees in a few weeks time, so I hope to update then.
 
Remark: The DPS schools have installed Lyceum, so all the classroom activities, homework, assignments are updated online.
A parent had changed the school for the simple reason that the uniform was white. So I am just updating the school uniform colour here.
A friend of ours had their son admitted in 1st in DPS South, they shifted to Singapore in the middle of the term and it was easy to secure admissions in DPS Singapore for them.
Also more equal importance is laid on extra curriculars as well as studies. No undue pressure and parents need not sit long with their wards for coaching them.

Hope to hear what others have to say. Do share in your views.

Remark: A blog I got to read, gives an idea of the selection process for Kumarans' nursery. Read it here. Also has a section of how he narrowed out the schools of choice. An enjoyable read for would-be school hunters.

The website of the school is well-informed. So you can gauge most of the details in the "At a glance section".
