Schools Tellapur, Hyderabad Glendale International School IB-PYP

Considering Glendale in Tellapur for grade 4. How is the second language handled for joiners?

Our daughter's PYP school is a long drive from Kokapet, and she's in grade 3 there. Glendale would be much closer, and since Glendale runs PYP too, the programme itself shouldn't be a big jump. The part I can't get a straight answer on is language. She has done Hindi so far. If the class she joins does something else, is there a beginner track, or is she expected to catch up? I've had 'we support every child' from two admission offices already. I'd like to hear from parents what that meant in practice.

Speaking from the teacher side, not as a parent there. 'We support every child' can mean anything from a proper beginner group to 'she'll pick it up'. Adi standard line andi, every school says it, mine included. Ask them how many current grade 4 kids started the language late and how they're doing now. If they can't answer that, you have your answer.

  Also ask who does the catch-up: the language teacher, a learning support teacher, or the class teacher 'when time permits'. If it's the last one, in grade 4 with everything else going on, it rarely happens.
