Will lack of Academics affect my child’s future

Expert session Questions and Answers

It is not about the school. Not all children respond the same way to a teaching methodology. This is very difficult to respond without interacting with the child. Since she loves dancing, her academics have to be molded through that lens and context. From what limited I read, to improve her academics you will need to adopt a different approach.

Foreign universities are quite open to it; do not have much experience with Indian Universities. All of our students from DLRC appear either for the Cambridge or NIOS board examinations.
