CAIE Secondary Testimonial

  • On 28 December 2023

I entered HFS International with dreams and aspirations, and the school provided me with an environment that fostered my intellectual curiosity and fostered a love for learning. The dedication of the teaching staff, coupled with state-of-the-art facilities, created an atmosphere that was conducive to academic excellence. One of the most significant milestones in my academic journey was preparing for India's most prestigious examinations - NEET and JEE Advanced. The school's comprehensive curriculum and rigorous academic programs equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in these competitive exams.

The emphasis on holistic development at HFS International not only focused on academics but also instilled in me qualities such as perseverance, discipline, and a spirit of inquiry. With the solid foundation laid at HFS International , I successfully cracked NEET and JEE Advanced, securing a place in AIIMS. This achievement would not have been possible without the unwavering support and guidance from the school, the dedicated teachers, and the nurturing educational environment that HFS International provided.

I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to you, Principal Kalyani Patnaik, for your visionary leadership and commitment to the success of every student. Your guidance has been instrumental in shaping my academic journey, and I am proud to have been a part of the HFS International family.
He enjoyed school so much and he learned a lot of things in this school.This experience will be an asset to him for the rest of his life.

This is Lalitha Gopal, I was the French faculty at Hiranandani Foundation School International, Powai, Mumbai. I have had four wonderful years of teaching French to IGCSE and IBDP students both B SL level and Ab initio level. It was a privilege to guide the very smart and disciplined bunch of students. Our foreign language department is a strong team consisting of French, Spanish and German languages. The students of IGCSE and IBDP enjoy the foreign language classes because they focus on all the four skills of language learning, reading, writing, listening and speaking. We have celebrated the Language fest, where the students presented various cultural aspects of the language. I also had the privilege to be a CAS advisor for the IBDP students. Our alumni are pursuing French and other foreign languages in universities in India and abroad.
With a multifaceted, kind hearted and powerful leader like our principal Ma’am, Kalyani Patnaik it is a pleasure to work at Hiranandani Foundation School International. It was very interesting and enriching to work with awesome colleagues. I wish Best wishes for this great institution.

I didn't want to take names of teachers or classmates or parents as everyone was helpful to him whenever he wanted any notes or help with any work and I may miss naming someone.
However, a special thanks to Aakash who was assigned as his buddy to help him at the beginning and his both class teachers who nicely oriented him into the class.
God Bless one and all.

RAJKUMAR At the outset, we would like to express our immense happiness and confidence in the IBDP curriculum. When we moved to Mumbai five years before, we were blessed to get our son admitted in Hiranandani Foundation School International and we can see him blossom into a fine young man with inquisitiveness to learn, confidence about himself and being competent in what he does.

Aadhavan’s holistic development in Education, Sports, School Councils, Extra and Co-Curricular activities has been tremendously supported and guided by the School Management and our beloved Principal.

This won't be possible without the IBDP curriculum’s holistic system of experiential learning in subjects as well as co & extracurricular activities. What specially stands out to us is the exemplary and visionary leadership of the Principal Ma’am, Mrs. Kalyani Patnaik of the Hiranandani Foundation School International.

The IB Curriculum is focused in developing every student as an International citizen with a quest to excellence and I can see that in my child. They have fantastic CAS programme and Student guidance initiatives - especially the Student Mentorship program. The mentorship program provides individual attention to the child and gives a holistic outlook to the student. The opportunity to be mentored by Principal, IBDP Coordinator and the faculty members in a friendly and approachable way gives the children the confidence and build their capability to approach their subjects, extra and co- curricular activates well.

The school’s additional value adds like bringing in Global Universities to the campus for Education fair, College Guidance programs and Alumni student connect initiatives make a huge difference to students and parents.

Excellent sports support system and highly appreciable environment to nurture and grow their leadership qualities and value system. More than anything else, we know that our children are in safe hands during their normative, formative and adolescent period that gives us a great comfort. Special thanks to Ms. Jagruti Joshi, IBDP Coordinator and other IB section staff members.

The Covid19 Pandemic has turned things upside down not just in one’s professional life, but also in personal life. Since the pandemic started everyone is going through turbulent times and not just safety of life but safety of mind is also been troubled. Even in these times, HFSI School Management has done a tremendous job of understanding the situation and quickly organizing the required things to ensure the children are not affected. It’s also important to mention the way Principal Ma’am communicated to parents, responded and organized the online education aspects during the Covid19 pandemic time, which is simply “Commendable”.

The swiftness in assessing the situation and organizing the classes, not just conducting classes but ensuring every planned event and programme are successfully conducted online by the IBDP coordinator and Teachers are highly appreciated. Especially the way the teachers conducted Internal Assessments, School projects, presentations, virtual classes and mentoring of students not just on education but even on their mental wellbeing are some of the highlights that we are proud to say that we are HFSI Family.

Also the way the TedX programme, HFSMUN program organized and conducted all virtually by the students under the guidance of Principal and Teachers was very professional and well organized. We can see the planning, meticulous execution of the plans and the leadership in each of these events. It’s not just an experience to the children but a life lesson that our beloved Principal has taught on Crisis Management and “Never say No” attitude.

With the passion in which the Principal, Coordinators and Teachers get involved in student's growth even in such an unprecedented pandemic situation is reassuring that our choice of school and the IB board curriculum is the right one. I wish the School Management, Leaders and School staffs all the very best in the coming years.

Dear Principal Ma'am,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your firm decision to conduct the IGCSE exams in Feb/ March.
The exams were conducted in a very organized manner keeping in mind all the covid protocols.
The efforts put by the HFSI team in planning and executing the entire examination process was commendable.
Thanks to all the teachers for their constant support, guidance and encouragement to all the 10th graders.

Noorani To begin with, HFSI is not just a school for my children, but a home, a family. Having moved back from US to India, as a parent, I was seeking for a school which could offer my children with a comfort zone. HFSI excelled with that, plus did way beyond in terms of utmost hygiene, numerous extracurricular activities, events, competitions, many facilities, and the list is endless. The principal has always been supportive, motivational and gave thorough guidance which allowed my three children to settle in the school without any problems.
The teachers portray patience, attention, kindness and generosity to all of their students and build a bond with them, raising their interest in learning. I will always be beyond satisfied that I chose a school like HFSI which helped my children in the challenge of settling down in another country.
Mrs. Shiba Mirza, Parent of Farhan Noorani (CAIE Grade III) & Sania Noorani (CAIE Grade VIII)
Dear Ma'am,
This being our fifth year, we must say it has undoubtedly been rewarding for our daughter Advika Nair. As parents, we feel our decision to move to HFSI has been well founded, seeing Advika's increasing desire to go to school – eagerly looking forward each morning to a happy and stable environment where both her strengths and weaknesses are managed with equal care. As a result, she is more free-spirited than ever today! Of course, this would not have happened but for the dynamic, integrated and candid faculty at the school and their hands-on interaction with the children, be it at the administrative level or academics.
Another attraction of being HFSI's parents is the school’s well-practiced yet parent-teacher/school interaction. We have, through the entire year, been bombarding teachers with all kinds of questions and feedback. They have always taken the time out to address our concerns beyond our expectations!
The school's efforts to inculcate in the kids a deeper understanding of Indian values in an international setting deserves a special mention. The Principal has a wonderful vision and has created a place where the children are encouraged, respected and heard. A nurturing and caring environment where students are taught to excel. An atmosphere where children are free to express and experiment with their ideas and thoughts as well as showcase and develop their skills without the fear of retribution or failure. My daughter received recognition as the youngest tedx speaker in the country, all thanks to the Principal-Ms.Kalyani Patnaik and her teachers-Ms.Pooja & Lily ma'am who saw the talent in her and encouraged her to pursue public speaking. An approachable and open minded management that appreciates parents as partners in progress rather than adversaries to deal with.
Best,
Priya Menon, Parent of Advika Nair (CAIE Grade VI) 		Advika Nair
Om

"When we were shifting to Mumbai, we were clear with few options for our children’s schooling and HFSI was right on top of it. We were blessed to get both our sons admitted in the school and we can see them blossom into fine young minds with inquisitiveness to learn, confidence about themselves and being competent in what they do.
This won't be possible without the School's holistic system of experiential learning in subjects as well as co & extracurricular activities. What specially stands out to us is the exemplary and visionary leadership of the school head Mrs. Kalyani Patnaik Ma’am.
The School is focused in developing every student as an International citizen with a quest to excellence and I can see that in my children. They have a fantastic CAS program and Student guidance initiatives.
Excellent sports support system and highly appreciated Co-curricular activities. More than anything else, we know that our children are in the safe hands during their normative, formative and adolescent period, that gives us a great comfort.
With the passion in which the Principal, Coordinators and Teachers get involved in student's growth is reassuring that our choice of school is the right one. I wish the School Management, Leaders and School staffs all the very best in the coming years."
