St. John's is one school is really a very good school they  had great reputation for delivering wonderful education for many years. Unlike Hindu & Shankara, the students of John's carry an attitude which i feel is because of their emphasis towards spoken english and adherence to discipline. Few succumb to pressure due to the strict nature of management. Hence a lot depends on how much love, attention & kindness the students receive at home.Very traditional in following education pattern. Mental arithematic, vedic mathematics, meditation, stress busting activities are not taught.They also giving personal attention to every student.Class room strength is high (50 per class)

They will be very strict when it comes to communicating in English. Students coming out of John's have great English speaking skills. Well trained teachers with good caring. But the campus and playground is small.

They also give importance to extra curricular activities

its a very bad school. its in good in education and extra curricullar activities.
