Sandhya Srivastava Mother of Akshita Shrivastava – 5 A
Schools are here, schools are there, but an excellent school is very rare!!! In Kota, my daughter studied in a school. She always remained exhausted with the burden of studies. As a parent, I used to fall sick due to tremendous responsibility, especially during exams. Last year, we shifted to Ahmedabad and my daughter got admission in Zebar School.
It was the first time I felt very stress-free with my child’s studies. There are limited books and textbooks which make me feel very relaxed. I like the DA system of the school as I get an insight into which concept my child is not clear. Teachers are very co-operative in this school. Remedial classes are arranged every Saturday, which helps in clearing the doubts of my child. I am very thankful to Zebar School from the core of my heart. At last, I can confidently say that ‘Zebar Rocks’.
Rakesh Goswami- Father of Joy and Jiya Goswami – VII A
Zebar School played a vital role in helping my twins learn to interact positively with their peers and teachers. They learnt about healthy relationship skills through interactions, both in the classroom and in personal life. It was challenging for me when we returned from London, the United Kingdom, in March 2017.
My twins Joy and Jiya did not know how to read, write and speak Gujarati as well as Hindi. Over a period of time, with extra efforts by school teachers, now they have excelled in the languages. Coming from an altogether different educational environment, it was not easy for both of them. Teachers and staff put enormous efforts behind them and encouraged them to learn.
Zebar School provided growth, development and conducive environment for Joy and Jiya. They obtained not only academic skills but also many other life-skills.
I am thankful to Mr Manan Choksi, Principal, Vice-Principal and all other staff for providing good culture to my children studying in Zebar School.

International Dance Day in Pre-Primary
Dance is the hidden language of the soul of the body-Martha Graham
Zebar school has always emphasised on the importance of extracurricular activities which include dance and music. Our tiny tots of Zebar pre-primary celebrated International Dance Day with a special assembly.
Students set the stage on fire with their scintillating performances, which included a Japanese dance and a Zoomba Dance. This assembly made our toddlers aware of the diverse dance forms prevalent across the world. A few hast mudras of Bharatnatyam along with the explanation were also presented.
In the end, Zebarites grooved on their favourite music along with their teachers.
Interactive Career Counselling Session
An Interactive Career Counselling Session was held at the school auditorium for the parents and students of class 9. Mr Mohit Mangal is a well-known career counsellor and motivational speaker with over 20 years of experience.
He discussed the various career options available in Science, Commerce and Humanities after class 12th. He also cleared the multiple questions in the parents’ mind on shifting to other boards after class 10th.
Students shine in Board exams
Zebar School proudly announces its 100% result of the first batch of std X. This result is a shining example of the sweat, determination, grit of our students, teachers and parents. We are incredibly grateful to all Zebar parents who had faith in the management and the teachers of the school.
Zebar School has time and again proved that it is the newest but among the best in Ahmedabad. With new students joining from other schools of the city, the school has managed to turnaround their marks and give positive results.
