Questions the Website
Does Not Answer
For fairness, here are things worth asking directly, as the website
does not currently publish them:
- School timings and daily schedule
- Fee structure
- Actual class sizes by grade
- Board examination results
- Grade-wise details of Explorers and Innovators
- Late-bus arrangements for after-school activities
- The exact age cut-off date for 2027-28
Add these to your list of questions to ask
during a school visit.
Five Questions
Parents Often Forget to Ask
Beyond the standard list, these questions often reveal the most about
daily life at a school.
What does a
typical morning look like at drop-off?
Ask how arrival is managed, who greets children, and how late
arrivals are handled. A calm, organised arrival suggests good
systems.
How are new students
welcomed?
Find out whether there is a buddy system, an orientation day or a
gradual settling-in plan. This matters most for young children and for
those joining mid-year.
How
does the school communicate with parents day to day?
The school lists an ERP login on its website. Ask what information is
shared through it, how often, and how teachers can be reached for urgent
matters.
How
does the school support a child who is struggling or ahead?
Request specific examples: small-group sessions, remedial time,
enrichment projects or counselling support.
What happens if my child is
unhappy?
Ask who the child can speak to, how concerns are escalated and how
parents are informed. The answer will tell you how the school handles
emotional wellbeing.
A Short Note on Reading
Reviews
When you research schools online, you will find ratings and comments
on listing websites and social media. Treat these carefully. Some
reflect genuine experience, some are outdated, and some are promotional.
Look for patterns across several sources, and give more weight to
specific, balanced comments than to extreme praise or complaints. Most
importantly, speak to current parents when you can, and check the facts
you care about directly with the school.
How to Use This Guide
Treat these answers as a starting point. Facts on a website can
change, and the school’s admissions team has the latest details. Use our
comparison
scorecard to weigh MSDGS against other schools on your list, and
read about life at
MSDGS to picture the experience.
