Best International School in Bangalore

"As Anay has moved to grade 1 I would like to thank you and Joy ma’am for a wonderful and enriching session in K2. This I speak for myself and many other parents. Giving every child the due attention and knowing each child’s strength is a commendable effort. Wishing you good luck for the coming academic year." ~ Ms. Anjali, Candor Parent.

"The A-Levels curriculum at Candor has challenged me to learn efficiently, think scientifically and apply my knowledge in various areas. The career counseling and my time doing community service has led me to further nurture my passion for biology. I have received offers from a few universities including Manipal University, university of British Columbia and university of Illinois Chicago. After my gap year, I will be pursuing a career as a pediatric surgeon in order to give back to the society." ~ Krishnanjali Jayakumar, Candor student, Grade 12 A-Levels

"My interest in Computer Science has been rather clear since childhood, now all that was left was aligning my future steps and paths which would allow me to maximize the potential for my passion for computer science. That perhaps led me to Candor, allowing me the flexibility to explore more than just academics, such as being a part of the New York Academy of Sciences and exploring topics such as Quantum Computing, Cyber-Security, etc. My life at Candor was an unfathomable experience, an experience which left me forever transformed. Here, I have seen new perspectives that have nurtured into reality, and that has left me with a sense of preparedness for the upcoming challenges at University!" ~ Rakshit Jain, Grade 12 IBDP student, who has received offers from universities such as King's College London, University of Sydney, City University of Hong Kong, and Polytechnic University of Hong Kong.

"Being a student at candor for 5 years has had a major impact on my life. I was able to explore my different interests and find what I’m truly passionate about with the endless help and support from the faculty and teachers. Most importantly, I was able to discover my love for psychology and I will be pursuing it further either at King’s College London, University of British Columbia or University of Melbourne. I believe that everything I’ve learned at Candor has helped me become a better person and it will further help me in all my future endeavors. I’m grateful for the lessons I’ve learned here and I will surely miss candor." ~ Ananya, Candor student, Grade 12 IBDP

"The environment of Candor and the constant support of the faculty in this school allowed me to strive and push myself to pursue my passion of creative writing and Psychology and apply to universities such as FLAME University and Jain University. Candor has taught me patience and to stay open minded in every situation. As a student who just passed out from this school, I can confidently say that this school has made me a better person in more ways than one." ~ Pranathi, Candor student, Grade 12 IBDP

"My interest towards Economics and Business sparked through my journey in Candor. The environment was great to learn in and the staff was very supportive. I am accepted in Christ University, Bangalore for BCOM Honors." ~ Trisha, Candor student, Grade 12 IBDP

Congratulations and Happy Holidays to all of You." ~ Delphine and Judikael Le Doridour on PYP Year End Production

"Thank you so much Ma’am for all the time you have spent with Jahnavi. She adores you and I like the wonderful sense of humour you instill in kids.
You remind me of my teacher when I was in school and believe me when I say we never get over them. I know all teachers are special but you would definitely stand out as being very special amongst the specials.
Thank you once again for all your efforts throughout the year and making my daughter truly feel special and cared for at school." ~ Ms. Priyamvada, Candor parent's words for school's teacher.

"..we also want to thank u for yr support to devanshu throughout the year and helped him in growing and learning new things. thank u so much" ~ Candor Parent's message to school's teacher.

"I just wanted to take a moment to congratulate the team on a well-produced year-end program by the PYP students. The students performed extremely well, and were well-disciplined throughout...I'd particularly like to appreciate the fact that the program started exactly on time. The stage set-up and the screens at the sides all added to the wonderful atmosphere for the production. There is no doubt that a lot of time, effort and energy has gone into the making of this play and the team deserves a big round of applause. Please do pass on my commendations to all the teachers and staff who worked towards making this a success.
I missed sending a mail on the MSP drama production, which was very well produced as well. It was wonderful to see the myriad talents of the middle school students come to the fore, be it in the costume design, set production or in the delivery of their lines. An excellent effort, indeed.
Wishing the team the very best for the years ahead. " ~ Ms. Rekha Philip, parent of Candor student on PYP Year-end Production

"Kudos to the whole team for rendering such a unique and beautiful show today. It was a treat to watch our little ones perform so confidently and boldly.

Teachers are said to be 2nd parents. My journey in Candor has been for 4 years and completed already. I would like to take this wonderful opportunity to thank you all.
Candor has been a place where it has made me come out of my inner world. And as the moto says Preparing for life , Candor has made me prepare for my future.
Every value and every word you have told me has made me learn from my mistakes and made me a better person my dear teachers. There are no words in any language to thank you all my teachers. I will always remember you and I need your continuous support and blessings. I will miss you all the most." ~ Chirag, Candor student

"I want you to know how grateful we are to have you as Eeshwar's 2nd grade teacher. According to Eeshwar you plan so many great fun activities and I personally think that your teaching style really engages our kids, and that they are excited about learning different things. It’s wonderful to see Eeshwar come home in a very happy mood, with wonderful things to say about you and eager to share what he have learnt in the class everyday. I appreciate all of your hard work, and the positive learning environment you provide for your students. FYI: Eeshwar was asking me the other that if you can be his 3rd grade teacher as well next year😊" ~ Letter to a Candor teacher from Ms. Sridevi

"Thank you for an amazing experience at the SLC today. It was our first, ever. I don't think we knew what to expect. Atleast I didn't :). Ishani seemed thrilled to be carrying that secret and enjoying herself holding it close. I was amazed at how much she has been able to pick up in less than 2 months.
She owes all of it to you. She has told me, and keeps telling me, that we have to go to your block and just ring each bell until we find you :). That's how much she adores you.
She enjoys school. Has never thrown a tantrum or said she wants to miss a single day. Thank you for giving her a great start. We seriously couldn't have asked for more." ~ Letter to a Candor teacher from Ms. Deepa

"Excellent job! Very very impressive and superb presentation. Really appreciate the hard work done in research and explaining" ~ Ms Divya (Parent of Grade 5 student on Candor's PYP Exhibition)

Wonderful experience. Love the enthusiasm and the learning which the children have got out of this exhibition in terms of visual and sensory development. Loved the videos, the music, as well as the exhibits ~ Ms. Nidhi (Parent of Grade 5 student on PYP Exhibition)

"My kids, Abhishek 8 A and Girish 2 B, love the school so much that they were reluctant to leave the school when we told them we will be moving to Hyd next year. Abhishek offered to stay in the hostel and continue his education here. He likes his ever supporting teachers and coordinators, green and clean school premises and the awesome food very much.
The teachers are very proficient, understanding and easily approachable to students. They have been very supportive, inspiring and giving the proper feedback to students and parents. The school administration has done its best when it comes to organizing sports events, cultural fests, PTMs, and exhibitions....We wish the best for Candor and have seen moving positively in that direction. Our children thoroughly enjoy the pleasant school experience at Candor and have become more organized and self-confident." ~ Ms. Shanti, Candor parent

"We are overwhelmed and at loss of words to express our emotions about our son having gone for the residential camp. Here is an attempt to put down these emotions in brief.

When the school made announcements regarding the residential camp, not only were we as parents very excited to send our son, but he was equally excited to go as well. He even packed his own bag on Sunday. On Monday night he kept his clothes to wear the next morning on his bed before going to bed. He woke up instantaneously when we woke him up at 3:15 am. There was so much enthusiasm about the trip. But since he was going out of town away from the family for 4 days for the first time there was undoubtedly some apprehension in our minds. The buses left and we went home thinking about how he would cope up. Thanks to the regular updates from the school we had some idea about the activities being done at the campsite. Although the phone numbers to contact the children at the campsite, were provided by the school, we resisted that temptation so as to not make him feel homesick.It is needless to say that we were extremely eager to pick him up from the school on Friday night. The buses were impeccably on time. When we asked Ms. Dipti, 'how was the trip ?'. Pat came the reply, "Fantastic ! your son did Ziplining. He did not cry at all in the entire trip". Ms. Savita informed that she checked on him every night at bedtime to make sure that he was fine.

It is an extremely important milestone and a big sense of achievement for us that our son willingly and happily went on this trip, shared tent with his friends, independently got ready for the day's activities, had the food that was served to everybody (did not miss his usual staple food items at home), did some of the adventure activities along with his friends and did not get homesick.
We cannot thank the school enough for this opportunity, special mention of Ms. Dipti and Ms. Savita.
This was a unique experience that all the students can cherish for years to come." ~ Deepali & Vijay (parents of Grade 6 student) on the school's annual trip.

"This was the 1st time my son has been away from home for 4 days without having any gadget to contact us. It was enriching not only for him but us as well. Such trips are a medium through which one comes to realise their strength and weaknesses. Aditya has talked so much about the trip. He was able to take care of himself, his belongings and came home happy. I would like to congratulate and commend all those involved in this camping trip on being able to plan, organise and manage everything so efficiently. Food, stay, activities , there was nothing that my son complained about. I would also like to thank and appreciate the school for sending the mails with daily updates and photos where we could see the kids....It was a great opportunity that the school has provided the students to test their boundaries, rely and help each other in times of need. It gives them and the parents the assurance that they need towards becoming capable and responsible individuals.
Trust is very important in life, i am glad i sent him on this trip as it was nothing but enriching at many levels. Looking forward to many such wonderful experiences." ~ Ms. Padma (parent of Grade 6 student) on Candor's Annual Trip.

"Just wanted to express my appreciation for the fantastic arrangements by the school right from the word go .. the mailers, clarity of communication, resolving doubts, the departure from school and the return ... the departure was really orderly as was the discipline with which students were assembled on return and handed back to parents.

Tanish's feedback was also very good .. he said they ate well ... that seems to be a primary driver for him 🙂 ... they had lot of fun but it was all very organized through their stay.

Thanks to the teachers, administrators and the school." ~ Mr Shyamal (parent of Grade 8 student) on Candor's Annual Trip.

"The early PTM was really beneficial for us as parents to get introduced to the teachers. We had sufficient time to discuss about our son's progress in school. Thank you" ~ Grade 6 Parent

"My daughter Michelle Pais ,studies in K2 B ( homeroom teacher- Rachel D’Souza).

I am writing to you in appreciation to the school teachings this year in terms of academics...
So impressive...our children are learning so much so early, which is such a good news.
Last week they came with an assignment with tally marks plus graphical representation of the same.
This week it’s comparing numbers ( greater, lesser etc) .
Love how it’s going this year.
If the same pace was followed last year our kids would be reading by now.
Liked the way, the class books are sent this year every week for us to see what the child does in class. Very good improvement compared to last year.

Teachers are really friendly and nice to have so much of patience to handle each child in terms of food ,Studies, and everything from the time they enter class till back home.
Aunties too are very helpful to our kids.
Madhumitha for doing so much of coordinations for us and teachers.

Thank you so much Candor, teachers, Aunties and Madhumitha 😊😊😊

However, we are so happy with the school in terms of academics." ~ Juliet Pais

Thanks for everything. Big thanks to Ashwin Naidu and the school management to have accommodated children with special needs and treat them as equals with other children. It will go a long way not only improving our children's behavior but the school will be looked upon as a pioneer in education where inclusion is practiced and followed and not merely mentioned in school prospectus.

"We wanted to send across some feedback on the maths & ICT project in which Saisha participated. It was called "Sweet treats & creative crafts".

It was a great practical experience for the kids to understand facets of costing (including human effort), product selection, profit, marketing and of course use of technology.

Both me and my wife worked with Saisha to understand her approach towards costing and optimisation of resources. A prime example was when they were baking one of their batches went bad, since they had a limitation on how much they could price, they had to optimise some of the baking resources so that they dont make a loss on that product.

One of the outcomes of the exercise has been that Saisha has become so passionate about baking and has given her the confidence that she has started baking commercially under the brand "Cherry on top". She is becoming sharper on her costing with every new order which she is getting.

Look forward to more of these projects where they gain real life experiences." ~ Vishal Arora (Parent)

"Appreciate the effort for conducting the career counseling session. Thank you for all the encouragement from the teachers." ~ (Grade 8 Parent)

Yesterday marked one more glittering performance by Candorians at the grand finale of State Spell Bee competitions.

•Shriyaa Sohni finished overall State Champion for all categories. She was also awarded State Champion for Category 2.

•The ever-solid Suhani Jha had a fantastic outing as District Champion for Category 2.

On that note, I would like to especially call out the teachers of Candor for instilling confidence in the students, which has immensely contributed to their consistency. The teachers have continuously recognised the students' strengths while also working subtly on areas they need to get better.

The association with Candor has been and will continue to be a privilege to us parents.

Nithin (Father of Shriyaa Sohni)

The Cycle Days that Candor has conducted has brought our childhood back. Activities like zumba, yoga, cycle riding have made our Sunday's beautiful, and I do hope that many of them come forward to participate in such events, that the organizing team has genuinely put in a lot of effort into.
..........Parent of Participant

Candor is the first school that has come forward to support a cause such as sustainable mobility. Though it may seem like a trivial point, through their events such as cycle day, they are spreading awareness about not just going green but also encouraging the public to cycle to health.
..........Parent of Participant

Candor School Management, we will always be grateful to you for all your support for Chess. Even Karnataka State Government is not providing any place to organize state tournaments for our Kids.
