MCQ MCQ MCQ is the way of life for this school... for Class 10 the syllabus has not yet been completed as on November 11, 2022 and now they have one more MCQ series from 15 Nov unplanned unscheduled as per the School handbook. Time after time the result has shown mediocre results but seems no understanding by the school management , at least try to compare it with other schools in the vicinity and you will see the difference.

Seats are almost always full.
Typical of educational institutions run by the Salesian order of priests, this school too focuses on youth and children.
A lot of importance is given to studies as well as sports. The campus has badminton, basketball and football courts and grounds.
In addition there are weekly classes for other extra curricular activities like gymnastics, athletics, visual and performing arts.
Teachers, non teaching staff and management are service oriented and pleasant to interact with.

Pathetic experience 46 child admission they have rejected these year by saying no availability of seats 46 child admission form fees 43800 Rs they have earned by selling their forms. If they do not have seats why form are distributed. When I personally when to school and ask to security to see notice board she told me to check website. Disrespect of parent I think Father Agnel Vashi is far better then this at least they have good result every year. They took interview and they check financial income of parents and caste. In Maharastra, if Marathi people child does not get admission that is shameful to us. They are not interested in teaching they are more keen interested in to earn money. Indian government should look into this matter of educational system which was happening in private schools. I request you all parents do not take admission in such school which concentrate only on money rather then student future. Fees is also too high as compare to other school. Before taking admission think twice its your child future. I request to MNS leader Raj thackaray and Gajanan kale at least in Navi Mumbai please do changes as your manifeisto there was one point about school admission in Navi mumbai. Otherwise I need to write letter to PMO office to improve education system in Navi mumbai. Why Marathi subject is not yet compulsory in CBSE school.

With regards to the standards in academic, curriculum, extra curricular activities etc the school had been keeping the level which was being misunderstood by some and had a biased approach resulting in negative criticism. The infra structure may not be suited for expected results. But within the limitations, the activities were being taken that was required for present educational needs which should be taken in the positive way since it aims at student's over all development. The result oriented school had qualified teachers having good students relations. The encouragement of students talents , sports , games and human values were always given priorities in addition to excellent academic performance for transforming the students as better citizens which was the need of the time.

It just celebrated its 11th annual day yesterday.....and what a beautiful, perfect, flawless, a class apart programme it was......and the best part, it was a 100% in house production...... a mesmerising musical.....the script, acting, music, dances, stage effects etc. etc. reflected the hard work, dedication, and creativity of the staff and management.

I would call don bosco a school with a heart where each child is taken care of and understood by the teachers and the principal...so if u go for a pta, rather than hearing criticism of the child (which happens in most schools), u would be told about his/her strenghts, abilities and then subtly about his/her area of improvements....

So if you want your child to he happy, enjoy learning, imbibe knowledge without pressure, develop confidence and have a holistic development, then don bosco is the school for ur child. And this is true from nursery to 12th std.....There's no child in don bosco in any class who wants to miss school even for a day....in fact my kids get so upset when we have to take a holiday even if we r going to goa because they don't want to miss their teacher's class....

Talking about the teachers and academics. My kids are now in class 4th and 5th and they have been managing preety well on their own since the beginning whether its school evaluation or various olympiad exams even securing all india and international ranks 2nd and 3rd.....there is hardly any help from home or any tutions.....so that speaks itself of the quality of teaching happening in school.....parents do complain about academics but i have no clue why? I think the perception of indian parents regarding education is extremely narrow and limited to evaluation, marks and the quantity of knowledge they can thrust down a child.....

Its a great school....yes there's a lot of scope of improvements in many fields including the marching but extremely positive efforts are being made and positive changes are happening in every field at a very rapid rate.

Its a good school now. Didn't expect to rise sooo much. At last, school is really focusing on Academics. Earlier there wasn't much emphasis laid on studies, but now i feel like yes, Our Don Bosco is growing. Health, hygiene, behavior and co-curricular activities are promoted throughout the schooling. Sports, Dance, and music have high-tech equipments now. Really, think of this school also. It has changed a lot. Don't let others fool you by saying the school ia not good. According to me, it wasn't that great before (the time when i was studying in it). But now, yes it has the ability to catch up with schools like DPS, APJ, DAV and Ryan.

He played with them, laughed with them, cried with them, took care of them, and built schools and boardings for them. He spent his entire life for the young! His followers are called Salesians. All over the world, following in the footsteps of this great saint, they devote their lives for the growth of the young, especially the poor and the abandoned. Today the Salesian Society has established all over India, schools, colleges, technical and agricultural schools and colleges, Non - Formal Institutions, Institutions of Higher Learning, and have even set up a University. In keeping with the times, the Salesian Society in India has also opened up institutions for remedial education for school drop - outs, special facilities for counseling and guidance and assistance to mentally challenged students in schools and at our specially opened Centers. We provide boarding facilities for orphans and single parents, for expats who seek an education in India, as well as Educational Homes for the marginalized in society i.e. School drop - outs, street children and youngsters who are victims of drug and alcohol abuse and seek a recovery option. THE DON BOSCO WAY OF EDUCATION – PREVENTIVE + EXPRESSIVE * Its innovativeness and relevance today. Methods of education have undergone tremendous change over the ages. The early systems were REPRESSIVE. They were adult - centered rather than child - centered. The word education comes from the word educare which means `to bring forth’. Hence, a repressive system, that does not allow the student to `express’ himself or herself, actually misses out on the true purpose of education. St. John Bosco (1815 - 1888), popularly known as Don Bosco, founded the Society of St. Francis de Sales, in 1859 in Turin. Its members are called the Salesians of Don Bosco. Don Bosco was a pioneer in educating the poor, during the time when education was a privilege only for the rich. The Don Bosco Method of Education is not a method of teaching a subject; rather it is a method of building a relationship between student and teacher which transforms and energizes the students to develop all their potentialities – Physical, intellectual, emotional, spiritual and social. The DON BOSCO WAY is a tried and tested system that is followed in all Salesian Institutions in over 120 countries around the world. WHAT IS THE DON BOSCO METHOD OF EDUCATION FOR SCHOOLS? The PREVENTIVE SYSTEM that Don Bosco proposed and followed with the children and youth under his care was opposed to the repressive system. He believed that educators should take the lead in conversing, advising and correcting pupils in a kindly way. He emphasized the importance of activities outside the classroom teaching. Hence outdoor games, music, theatricals and outings are given importance. Therefore, it is an EXPRESSIVE SYSTEM in its essence. It provides avenues for expression of students’ interests and talents as well as a constructive channel of their energies. Thus, Co - curricular and extra - curricular activities form an integral part in schools. These activities also provide opportunities for better teacher - student rapport. Students are always under the vigilant eye of the teacher and thus any wrong that they do can be corrected in a loving way. Don Bosco did not propagate corporal punishments as he felt that repression may stop a negative behaviour but will not make the offender better. He advised that once the educator wins the love of the pupils then even a reproachful look or the withholding of praise will become effective corrective measures. THE THREE PILLARS OF THE DON BOSCO METHOD OF EDUCATION. Many of the educators of his time thought of education, as the art of the classroom which only involved how to teach and how to make students read and write. For Don Bosco, education meant the total salvation of the young, both in this world and the next, both of body and soul. The three principles which form the main pillars of The DON BOSCO WAY are:- 1. Reason 2. Religion 3. Loving Kindness (Rapport) 1. REASON Reason is the first tool in the hands of the educator towards child - centered education, understanding and discipline. Since humans are rational beings, every behaviour is governed to a large extent by reason. The light of reason deals with objectivity and truthfulness. This holds especially true in the lives of the young. As Don Bosco sees it, students do wrong, more often out of thoughtlessness rather than out of malice. Their actions are the outcome of impulsive behaviour which is characteristic of the young. He argues that if a person or friend were to make the erring child aware of the unreasonableness of his or her behaviour then they would surely act differently. Don Bosco wants the educator to take the role of that friendly intervention. In today’s fast - changing and ‘high – tech’ world, the young are always questioning and searching for explanations and answers to questions and doubts they are bombarded with through the internet and mass media. It is the duty of the educators to provide this through reason which signifies good sense and simplicity. If students find their teacher authentic, optimistic and reasonable they will be willing to listen to and obey him or her in the classroom as well as outside. Through persuasiveness and a spirit of dialogue the child’s conscience is formed which will gradually lead to personal responsibility and freedom. 2. RELIGION Don Bosco based his system of Education on Religion. True, he was a priest and therefore he lived in a Christian environment. However in the multi - religious context of our schools today what is Religion for Don Bosco? Religion is faith in God, a supernatural being. In his system of education, especially where students of different faiths come together, the common aspect of every religion is what is sought after. Don Bosco believed that God helps the students to become better citizens with right conscience, compassion and justice. It is a fundamental aspect in this educational system. For Don Bosco, education is the matter of the heart and no one knows the heart of a child better that the Creator of the Universe – God. In the heart of a child there is a great longing for joy, the need to know and understand, to love and be loved, to find significance and complete happiness. According to Don Bosco, a well - educated and mature person is one who considers the knowledge of God the most important and hence in the hierarchy, Religion holds the apex position. In Don Bosco Institutions, Value Education and Religious instruction hold utmost value. Assemblies are Value - based and teachers strive to inculcate a core value through every lesson taught in the classroom too. REASON AND RELIGION mutually interpenetrate each other, such that Reason illumines, clarifies, and enlightens what Religion proposes. Religion in its turn provides the motivation, the ultimate meaning, significance and orientation of life governed by Reason. Together, Reason and Religion build an integration of Faith and Life, which is the goal of every sound education. 3. LOVING KINDNESS - RAPPORT Reason is the rational relationship between thought and action; Religion is the relationship between God and humans; Rapport is the relationship between human beings. Loving kindness is the cementing factor that binds the teacher to the student. Don Bosco gives us three keys to establishing rapport in any educator student relationship: a) “Love what the young love that they may love what you love.” b) “It is not enough to love; they must know that they are loved.” c) “Familiarity breeds affection. Affection breeds confidence.” Gone are the days when the teacher had to maintain a distance from his / her students, in a formal education set - up. Today effective teaching and learning can happen only if there is a good rapport between the two. Education is not mere teaching. While the latter is a one way transmission of knowledge from teacher to pupil, the former is the ability of the educator to draw out the best from the educand. For this the PRESENCE of the teacher is essential. This presence should rise from being merely a physical presence to being: * an ACTIVE PRESENCE wherein the teacher actively participates in activities of the students; * an ANIMATING PRESENCE through which students are encouraged to be creative; * a CHALLENGING PRESENCE by which students are motivated to set goals and achieve them; * a LIBERATING PRESENCE which enables students to be free from the shackles of ignorance and immorality. Way back in 1883 Don Bosco advised his followers, “to understand and adapt ourselves to the times in which we live.” The Don Bosco Way has proved its versatility across continents, cultures and contexts, regardless of the differences. This foresighted educator gave to us a guide to ensure all - round development of a child – to truly provide holistic education to our students. The `educative community’, which comprises the school and the parents, all strive to pool their resources to achieve the common goal of moulding the child into a mature, responsible and self - confident adult who can stand firm in his or her convictions in this extremely fast - changing world. Don Bosco Senior Secondary School is one such Salesian institute under the tutelage of the CBSE Board. We began the school in June 2006. It is situated in Nerul, Navi Mumbai in Maharashtra on a 5 acre plot. It is presently run by the Don Bosco Educational Society, with headquarters in Don Bosco Provincial House, Matunga, Mumbai. The Institute at Nerul conducts a regular course of studies from Nursery to Class XII.
