This is a compilation of information about some schools in Hyderabad and Secunderabad. Hope some one out there finds this useful as a starting point for the dreaded "searching for a good school for my child/children". This was the information I had gleaned while searching for what school to put my niece/nephew into in Hyderabad , when they return from the US next year. I have considered 15 schools which might fall into the wish list of a SEC A parent in the city .

Here are some "findings" :

* The sought after schools charge upwards of Rs 25000 p.a
* The upcoming schools are located in places like Kompally , Cyberabad, Kondapur etc - These are the places where the real estate market is booming as well.
* The application forms are issued for barely a week . And sometimes filled in forms are to be submitted within 2 working days.So it's best to check out the newspapers everyday for their adverts
* They do have entrance test for 1'st std in Maths and English . This is followed by an interview with parents and the child. HPS insists on a parent interview.
* Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan and HPS do not admit students into pre primary. They take students only at 1'st std level.
* Among the surveyed schools , DPS and Oakridge International . seem to tout their teacher calibre the most .
* The new age concept schools like Gowtham Model , Narayana Concept etc , do not have a play ground even for nursery. However they do take students( primary upwards) to the Corporation Park twice a week for PT Classes.
