From student to parent, Mrs. Ashita Sharma reflects on the legacy and impact of this Jalandhar based school
By Mahima Gupta: When education becomes a legacy, it transforms into something truly extraordinary. For Mrs. Ashita Sharma, a proud 1999 alumnus of Apeejay School, Mahavir Marg, this legacy spans generations. Today, her children are thriving at the same school that shaped her journey—a testament to Apeejay School’s enduring impact. In this heartfelt conversation, she shares her experiences, memories, and insights about being an Apeejayite and how the school continues to stand out.
How has Apeejay School, Mahavir Marg, shaped your journey?
Apeejay School, Mahavir Marg has been the foundation of everything I am today. From my values to my confidence, the school has played a pivotal role. It wasn’t just about academics; it was about life lessons.
I fondly remember my principal, Mr. J.K. Kohli, and my teachers, who nurtured us like family. They gave us the kind of warmth and guidance that stayed with me throughout. Even today, I see those values reflected in my children who study at Apeejay School.
As an alumna and a parent, how would you describe the school’s teaching approach?
The teaching approach is holistic. My daughter Ananya, who’s in Class 11, has never needed tuitions. She’s confident, self-reliant, and her values are strong—all thanks to the teachers. They encourage students to think critically and share their concerns openly.
My son, who’s in UKG, is thriving with the activity-based learning methods. The school has perfectly balanced traditional academic rigor with modern educational practices.
What makes Apeejay School, Mahavir Marg stand out in today’s competitive educational environment?
The Mahavir Marg School is built on a legacy of values, and that’s what sets it apart. Even in a city like Jalandhar, where many new schools have emerged, this school remains unmatched. The annual functions and the tribute to Dr. Stya Paul ji’s vision give us goosebumps. It’s not just about education—it’s about belonging to a legacy.
What are some fond memories of your time?
It’s hard to pinpoint one memory because every moment was special. From school trips to the bond with teachers, it was all magical. My cousins, who also studied here, and I often reminisce about those golden days. We joke that we’re all brand ambassadors for Apeejay School, Mahavir Marg, but it’s true—we’re incredibly loyal to this school.
As a former principal yourself at another school, how would you rate this Apeejay School’s educational standards?
Having worked as a principal at Ivy, I’ve seen many schools, but this school is in a league of its own. The focus on self-study, discipline, and individual growth is commendable. Parents often asked me for school recommendations, and my answer was always Apeejay School, Mahavir Marg. It’s the kind of education that prepares children for life, not just exams.
What key takeaways have your children gained from the school?
For my daughter, it’s her self-study habit and confidence to speak her mind. For my son, it’s the joy of learning through engaging activities. The teachers make students feel valued and heard. That kind of nurturing environment is rare, and I couldn’t be happier as a parent.
