Chandrakanthi Public School - CBSE School in Coimbatore

One of the best schools for children to have a good education along with fun and life skills .
After seeing this school, I wanted to do it all over again.
I Would definitely recommend this institution for your child .
The staff give individual attention to children and the Montessori is amazing.
The fact that the school celebrates things like grandparents day shows how children are taught values . (The need of today)

First of all let me tell you do not go by positive reviews, It may be the school themselves writing positive reviews to attract more parents for enrollment and gain big money that is the motive of the school. I was NRI and choose this school bcos of Hype and positive feedback from internet i received. When my kid got admission, I was happy and joy, My mind was filled with - i got best school for my kids, i was in no mans land - jumping up high and high...All my happiness lived for 1yr only. Slowly i came to know about this school, actually this school is very worst and its all hyped up for some reason. After 3years in CPS, I am forced to change school for better of my kid. My actual experience with school - Teachers are not experienced to teach above 5th standard, 7th,8th & 9th standard very worst, If you complain they will corner the kids and make it nightmare for kids, so most of the parents will not raise complain.
Kids will struggle during exam and to showoff they will give the answers to students to keep parents happy. All most all the schools have skit/stage performance/kids enrichment program and there is nothing special about this school apart from cleanliness is better thats it.
If you want your kids to perform well in studies definitely not this school.
If you want your kids to behave well mannered and good character definitely not this school. If you want to showoff in society and your kids to have peer pressure, bad education, no moral values then this is the
best school.

Wonderful place to learn, excellent infrastructure with good care for both academic and overall excellence. Children are guided, motivated and supported to achieve their dreams come true.. Dedicated management with committed leadership and faculty.. The best school in Coimbatore...kudos

To all those who wrote negative reviews about our school, a big thank you for your feedback. We will take the genuine concerns positively. It shows that you are using the media to show your vindictiveness towards CPS after leaving it for a personal reason and trying to tarnish the name of the school which is not ethical and people who read reviews understand too.

We know the kind of good work that we do and the kind of care and attention we give to our students. We are quality conscious and that is what we instill in our students.

Before writing about an organisation, you question yourself if you have given your quality time to your ward, how much you have contributed on his/her development and how much you coordinated with the school for your ward's development. Your responsibility does not end with paying the fee. Have you checked out the aptitude of the child? Is he/she an introvert or an extrovert.. Is she completing school work? Has he /she developed good habits and manners? Has he /she inculcated the reading habit? is my child addicted to gadgets? so much more that as a parent you need to look into. When we point out to such things then it becomes a bad and useless school. Truth is always hurtful.

It is easy to write or talk negatively but it is not so easy to appreciate good work , which is taken for granted.

Your child is not a commodity and so do not equate their life experiences to money. Our school's motto stands for 'Lessons in life' and so your wards will have to face positive and negative in life. Life is not a bed of roses and they have to be prepared for disappointments in life too.

All these negative reviews will not deter us from the good work that we do . We focus on an all round development of a child but if you have a different plan for your child's life of only academics then all that we do here is only going to create negativity in your mind. So please remember, at CPS we work on an all round development of a child based on his /her interests and strengths. Also your child will develop and grow holistically only if he or she feels positive about school , which will come only from you. Build a positive mind set which will help your ward to be positive , not just towards school but towards life.

Just got to read the response from the school for all the negative reviews that is posted. In the response from the school, if anyone reads the first paragraph, they will understand how ‘GENUINE’ the school is in addressing parents concern. This shows how shallow the school's attitude towards those who wrote negative reviews.

I don't want to go point by point on the poorly drafted response by the school management. I still believe that the school management didn’t do their homework or take sufficient care or have enough foresight. The fact that we can’t prevent it doesn’t mean we should accept it. No matter how futile it may be, we must tell others our experiences. So that, those who are looking at CPS as a potential school for their children know where they are heading to.

I still pity those parents who are "forced" to write good reviews about the school despite knowing how lowball the teaching is. A teacher has to inspire and make a change in the lives of students. Management and teachers lack the capability to change practice, often believing that their school is operating well, and are unaware of issues to children.

Remember, for any parent their children are no “commodity” and I am beyond my wits end that the school management even had the nerve to call a children “commodity”. I must say the commodities are in the wrong (market) place (school).

In 2 years, I haven't seen any good work that I took notice off. So, "good work taken for granted" is not something that a disgruntled parent would believe in.

The point of this rant is, if you want something to be different, MAKE IT DIFFERENT! But don’t blame those of us who tell the truth about the schoo.

I end with a great quote by Leo Buscaglia “Change is the end result of all true learning".

I want to share our ordeal with this School, the Principal and the Trust that governs it, about their unjustified and unethical behavior when it comes to money.
Please read through the issue below and there is email conversation with the school principal and trust that is proof for our struggles.

We had to discontinue our child from this School in September 2022 due to our job transfer.
On Sep 9th, We submitted a written request for TC to the School during Term 1 which ends on Sep 16 as per the School Diary.
Sep 18 to Sep 25 is mentioned as Term 1 break in the School Diary which clearly implies Term 2 starts on Sep 26.
TC Rules in the School Diary also state that we have to pay term fees only if we withdraw a student after a Term commences.
Our child's last day at School was on Sep 16 which was the last working day of Term 1 for which fees was paid in June.
So it is very clear from the facts above that we do not need to pay Term 2 fees.

More than a month had gone by after the last day at School for our child and no action from School on our TC request.
On October 26th after multiple follow ups from our side, someone from School called and informed us that we need to pay Term 2 fees to get the TC.

Since our child did not attend even 1 day in Term 2, we approached the School in person the same day and queried why we have to pay Term 2 fees citing School Diary.
Those at the School reception initially argued we need to pay the fees.
Later they asked us to write an email to the Principal requesting to waive off the fees and she will do so.
We wanted to meet the Principal that day but those at the reception did not permit us and we went home.

We wrote a mail as they asked us.
The Principal then responded that the Term 2 has already started on Sep 1st and we must pay Term 2 fees to get the TC.
But the School Diary did not support their view and we requested the school to show official documentation which shows Term 2 starts on Sep 1st.
They did not share any document that supported their argument, not sure if there is any such document to prove their claim.
We requested an appointment to meet the Principal in person but she bluntly said that we pay the money to get the TC and it is final and no more discussion on it.

Hoping the School Trust will help us, we reached out to them.
But they were not interested in going through the merits of our argument and bluntly stated that we pay and get the TC as the Principal says.
The Principal threatened us that the School will put adverse remarks in the TC if we don't pay and will not help us if we need anymore documents in future.

We then sent a complaint to District Collector who forwarded it to District Education Office, where the officer reached out to us, but didn't help resolve this holistically.

The School and the Principal who claim to teach Ethics, Values, Honesty, Morals to the students have unfortunately and knowingly decided to let their quest for money consume their identity.
Instead of following their own written rules in the School Diary, they were making arbitrary rules just to collect money from us.

Shockingly but sadly, the Principal is not ready to meet parents of students and but is prepared to spoil a student's future by any means available to her.
The Trust which claims to be in the business of Service to Society has no intention to look into parents concerns.
How can we expect these people motivated by money to teach Values, Honesty, Ethics to our children.

I would definetly suggest CPS for anyone who really wants a balance between co-curricular activities and education. The kind of environment, cleanliness, safety and hygiene, annual timeline of exam schedules and school events, teachers definetly CPS owns a 5star rating, which many schools in coimbatore lacks. The only demerit is that the Principal and the Management could reiterate their process after periodic evaluation, which is missed out many times. Only the comments and feedback from a picked set of parents is always taken and the rest others inputs are ignored. This leads to frustration from parents side. I don't know for what reason the attrition of teachers is also high. Although we happen to leave the school for personal reasons after 10 years , my child and I could appreciate the value systems build by CPS. With little more of attention ,CPS can excel par above its current standards. Best wishes!!!!.

It is a good school and it is hygienic and clean.Teaching is also very good.
