Our Testimonials
What our kids and parents say
On my son’s first day at school, I left in tears, worried about how he would adjust. But within just two days, something truly magical happened. The caring teachers and staff made him feel loved, safe, and at home. Today, he’s the happiest little boy who looks forward to school every day and wishes he could go even on a holiday. We are so proud we chose KHS and to be part of this wonderful school community.
When George joined Little Pathways as a quiet three year old, we wondered how he would adapt to school. With the loving guidance of his teachers, he gradually blossomed into a confident and happy child. Watching him speak on stage during the Annual Day was a proud and unforgettable moment for our family. The warmth, care, and personal attention at Little Pathways have made The Kanjirappally Heritage School a true second home.
Moving from Manila to India, our greatest concern was how our children would adapt to a new language and curriculum. KHS made that journey seamless. Seeing them arrive at school each morning with smiles on their faces is a constant reassurance. The care, patience, and warmth shown by the faculty have been exceptional. They say it takes a village to raise a child, and we are so grateful that KHS is ours.
When choosing a school for our daughter, we explored several options, but after visiting The Kanjirappally Heritage School, we knew it was the right choice. One year later, we couldn’t be happier. The teaching methods are excellent, the faculty is caring and supportive, and the child-friendly environment has helped our daughter love school and grow into a happy, confident learner. Choosing Little Pathways has been one of the best decisions we have made for our daughter.
