Dear Mam,
As a temporary platform for teaching, I am really satisfied as I can see how my child is learning and understand the teachers’ perspectives as well.
I would like to thank the teachers for all the effort they are taking to help the children as it is not an easy task. This is like a 24 hour Job for them.
Thank you so much for everything that you all are doing to help the children.
God Bless!!!
Sincerely Yours,
Patricia
Thank you for contacting me for feedback. We found it very helpful and systematic. It gives the students a great opportunity to keep up with the teaching and assignments. The PowerPoint presentations are impressive and my child feels more connected now than before ( contrary to what we feared).
Thank you to all the teachers and support team for the hard work that is going behind the screen
Regards

Dear Ashima Maam,
We as parents are happy with the online classes. It has instilled some kind of discipline in their day. My daughter looks forward to her classes. The teachers are doing such a wonderful job. I am grateful to Akash Sir, Robert Sir, you, and all the middle school teachers. A special mention about the Kannada teachers whose personal touch is heartwarming.
Thank you and God bless

Dear Ashima Maam,
Greetings!
Roopali ma’am had co-ordinated with me today and my daughter Ryssa has completed her retest in Chemistry.
Thank you for your prompt, assuring response and for making a decision on this.
I also take this opportunity to commend the teachers and the management for the ongoing online classes. While it is proceeding seamlessly, we are aware that a lot of effort goes into the planning and conducting of these classes.
The children are really happy and constantly engaged.
Wishing you all the very best!
Best Regards,

Dear Akash, Robert, and the Bethany management,
At the outset, we as a family would like to acknowledge and appreciate Bethany’s leadership during these critical times. While the world at large is struggling to come to terms with the pandemic, it’s so refreshing to see how the Bethany management has responded to the crisis. The communication has been timely given the huge confusion on new guidelines from the Government.
You have been very clear that the children’s safety comes first and we fully support the management on that. Your decision to resume online classes for a few hours each day is a much welcome step, keeping the balance between online learning and screen time. While these are hard choices to make, there being no prior benchmarks to compare with, you have introduced new benchmarks in the care and concern for children and their families. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The experience on MS Teams has been seamless for the children and parents. Thank you for all the efforts to roll out this learning platform for the children.
To the teachers- being teachers ourselves, we understand the pains of serving without being appreciated. Moreover, having to learn online skills in such a short span of time is truly commendable. Our children would not be who they are if not for the commitment that teachers at Bethany have displayed. This note is to say thank you for your love and support, more so during these times. Please share this with the larger body of teachers and their families.
Our deepest gratitude to the support staff at Bethany for their stellar support during these times.
May the Lord continue to give each of you wisdom, grace, and strength in the days ahead. Continue to keep the flag flying high!
The entire Bethany family continues in our prayers. “With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may bring to fruition your every desire for goodness and your every deed prompted by faith.”
2 Thessalonians 1:11
Thank you and many blessings!

Dear All,
We express our heartfelt gratitude for allowing Yohann to continue classes even after leaving the school. We wish to stop classes now as Yohann has got admission to Creek Valley Middle School in Dallas and the school has started virtual classes.
A big thank you to the entire Bethany team, especially Mrs. Ashima Kalra who has always been supportive and helpful. Yohann has had a strong foundation at Bethany and we are grateful to his class teacher Mrs. Sangeetha Joseph, all his class teachers through the years, subject teachers, and staff.
Our children were immensely blessed at Bethany and will miss being a part of it.
We pray that God continues to bless all the Bethany Institutions even as you help build better individuals.
Warm regards,

Dear Ashima ma’am,
This is Kiran, father of K. Sri Purvi from Class 6-A. Right from the beginning of this academic year, when everything in this world was unsettled and rattled, the teachers at middle school have been compassionate, calm yet driven throughout.
My daughter, who came across as a shy student in her primary years has garnered a lot of confidence and she has been able to speak up and express herself during the online classes. The teachers were forthcoming and patiently clarified all her doubts.
While the individual projects helped her in focusing upon the core concepts, the group projects not only helped her in recognizing her strengths but also nudged her to fight her weaknesses. As a team leader, when her teams’ efforts were appreciated by her teachers, she got a clear idea about her capabilities as a leader. This very confidence has propelled her in becoming a B.S.O. I truly appreciate her class teacher and Darell House’s teachers for recognizing her strengths and encouraging her.
As a proud Bethanite myself, I know that my school stands for all-round development of all the students. My child has developed her interpersonal skills as well as intra-personal skills during this challenging year.
I owe her future success to you all teachers!
A proud Bethanite and a father,

Dear Kanchan Maam,
Thank you for being so adaptive in your teaching during these tough times. Teaching is a selfless profession that requires a lot of sacrifices. Double it up with a pandemic and the task is almost impossible. Thank you for letting us parents breathe easily. Arjun has always liked teachers who are assertive and not aggressive. You are definitely one of his favorite teachers. Thank you for giving him valuable advice and guiding him.
You and the entire teaching staff at Bethany are the true “Superheroes”
Thank you again. Stay safe and stay blessed!

Dear Mam,
Teachers around the world have faced great challenges this year. Online schooling was only a grand idea a year ago. We take this opportunity to thank the Management and the teachers of Bethany Pre Primary Department and Middle school for having provided wonderful online classes. We appreciate the effort taken by the teachers in making such wonderful ppt’s, videos, etc, and having made the classes so engaging, meaningful, and interesting.
Congratulations to you all for having ensured a successful year of learning.
Our sincere appreciation to Ms. Josephine Francis (Jr1 B) for her dedicated efforts and the entire Pre Primary Teachers for their videos.
We also appreciate greatly the efforts taken by the teachers of class 7E (Ms. Sangeetha Joseph, Ms. Roopali, Ms. Manju, Ms. Sophia, Mr. Chalapathy, and Ms. Sapna) in organizing some really awesome classes. Great work at Bethany High.
Thanks and regards

Every parent conveyed their greatest appreciation for the work and commitment of the Teachers. They said that they would have never made it through these challenging times without the hard work and support of the teachers. Thank you Mallika Ma’am, Tech Team and my dear Teachers 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Dear Teachers,
I would like to thank each and everyone of the teachers of Std. 9 for your dedication, sincerity, and untiring effort this year in the midst of the most unusual circumstances. The detailed notes, the educative online classes, the assemblies, the revisions, guidance, and so much more, are a testimony to your commitment. The students at Bethany are indeed lucky and blessed to have such wonderful teachers.

Dear Santosh Sir and Madhu Ma’am,
Thank you for your time yesterday at the PTM. I would like to sincerely thank all the teachers of Bethany High, especially the Teachers of Grade 9 who have taught our children, from the bottom of my heart, for all the effort that they have taken to teach our children during this difficult time of Covid – 19 with 100% dedication and commitment.

Dear Ma’am,
The Valedictory was a wonderful event and we enjoyed it virtually. Thanks to you and all teachers for all the efforts. Also, wish to especially thank you for all that you have been to our daughter Ananiah. Ananiah says that without Surekha Ma’am I would have failed in maths. I think I mentioned to you last year once, that you have made such an impact on our child that she now wishes to pursue maths in her academic career. Ananiah and both of us are ever grateful to you for all your special efforts, support, and wishes. We pray that God continues to bless and use you in this noble vocation you have chosen. Keep touching lives.
Thanks again,

Hello ma’am this is Aminah’s mother here sorry my paternal granny expired so I could not make it. Thank you for being a truly outstanding teacher. Your passion and dedication towards your students are obvious for which we are very grateful to u Maam. You showed all care and understanding and patience that you had when kids were unable to login when they had network issues and all sorts of things in this pandemic. Thank you for everything you have done. 🙏
Hello ma’am
This is Shaza’s mother as Shaza was unwell I had to take her to the doctor so I missed being there for the open house.. I am so sorry for that and ma’am it was a great pleasure having u as her class teacher and u teachers have put in a great effort this year and made our children come up in their studies.. thank you ma’am and l hope to have Shaza in good hands in future as she was with u …

Dear teachers,
I want to appreciate and thank you all for the great work you are doing. You have transitioned smoothly to virtual teaching making sure learning doesn’t stop in this time of uncertainty. Being an educator myself know that it’s not an easy job. A big shout out to all the teachers at Bethany for a wonderful beginning!!
Best,

We agree Madam. You have written wonderfully. Nothing can replace personal interaction and classroom atmosphere. A school not only gives education but also builds the personality of the student. Online classes can at best fill a little bit and they can never replace a live class. We pray that a vaccine will be found and the school will reopen soon. We have already missed the road run and sports day. We pray that things will become better soon. We are also thankful for the teachers for putting a lot of efforts into the.. online classes and helping the students
Just sharing our views. Parents of Ayush.
Thank you, 🙏 dear Yasmin Mam and all the teachers for making this possible for our children. Really appreciate it.
Thank you, ma’am. We are truly indebted to you teachers and the school for all you have done for the kids this year. I have to say I admire how you all and the children have adapted to this new medium. Definitely want to get back to seeing everyone, playing, and interacting.
Thank u dear teachers and school, no words to thank & express for the efforts put in by u management. We r truly blessed, first time for both, still so so perfect. Awesome & kudos to each one of u associated with this, it’s successful 🙏🏻
🙏🙏🙏thank you, Ma’am. Let’s pray that things will get better soon. Thank you teachers for your love and support. Happy weekend.
Thank you, Ma’am! Appreciate all that the teachers have done to make this easy and exciting for the children. I also realize that these groups have helped build a better connection with you as their class teacher – an empathetic and consistent one.

As a new parent of high school, reopening of school on the first day by online classes was definitely not the way I wanted it. But saying that I must say I have no regrets it started that way.
As a professional myself, adhering to new ways has been so hard that to just one to one. And here you have teachers reaching out to 30-40 students through a screen. I give each of you the highest respect for what you do. I have been eavesdropping on a few classes and must say, the teaching is beyond what I imagined.
Ppts, videos, games…the pains taken are definitely beyond what I expected. So patiently answering children, clarifying doubts. Every teacher has been playing their part with excellence. Bethany has set its standards really high.
Proud to say I am a part of the Bethany family. God bless each of you with the best. Stay safe.
You, teachers, are doing such an amazing job.. Truly commendable.
So proud that we are associated with all of you.. The pain you all take to make sure every child submit the paper is truly appreciated. Thank you so much. God bless

Dear Sir/Ma’am,
This is Rupa Sen Ghosh, mother of Aditya Ghosh of standard 10 B. I want to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for the wonderful yet very challenging academic year 2020-2021. Amidst this pandemic when the world came to a standstill you as a team continued to provide education and support to all the children of this school. Switching over to a new method, teaching through a new device was not easy but the wonderful teachers of Bethany made the transition so smooth that soon the children made themselves comfortable with the “new normal”. Always kind, always supportive, always willing to extend that hand when needed, the teachers wiped away the word “impossible” from the dictionary. From regular classes to exams to holding assemblies and competitions the students had everything from the safety of their homes. The sudden fear, anxiety, and the insecurity that had seeped in their tender minds with this pandemic soon evaporated and they had an eventful, fun-filled academic year.
I wish each one of you the best for the new session too and at the same time pray that the school opens soon so that our kids who have a few more months before their Board Exam can again go back to the ever-positive, ever-warm campus of Bethany High.
Thanking everyone once again.
With warm regards,
Rupa Sen Ghosh
Dearest Malika Maam,
A year went by so fast. It was like moving from the unknown to the known. Never thought the year would go so smoothly. I am so grateful to all the teachers who have made this transition for Kevin from middle school to high school so comfortable. Every teacher has played their part so well, it was not just studies, it was about everyday things too.
I would first like to thank Usha ma’am who is an exceptional Hindi teacher. She made my son love Hindi again. She makes the language so easy to follow.
Madhu maam has been an inspiration. Never realized Shakespeare could be a household topic of discussion.Its such a joy to see his excitement in English class.
Chris Sir has been a perfect mentor, someone Kevin really looks upto. He has a way with the boys and that makes him different.
Sophie Maam has been his teacher previously and seeing her in high school was his biggest joy. She is an exceptional and dedicated teacher.
Latha Maam is an awesome Chemistry teacher and I am so glad I finally learnt the subject through my son, thanks to her.
Ramya Maam is an excellent physics teacher and fun loving. She makes the class so lighthearted.
Rehana maam is a teacher who not only taught the subject but also inculcated a lot of values in him.
Suja maam made Geography a likable subject. She makes her class a comfortable place for everyone.
Sreeparna maam is someone who I admire the most, she brought out the love of art in my son which I have been trying for so many years.
It’s been a rollercoaster ride for each of them, I am sure but they carried it out with a lot of grace and charm. It’s been an absolute blessing to have them in Kev’s life. Haven’t personally met all of them but always indebted to them for their effort and smooth sailing of this hard year. Thank you so much to each of you. Looking forward to meeting each of you personally very soon. God bless.
Always,
Deepa
Dearest Malika Ma’am
I’ve had a wonderful time in standard 8, but I wouldn’t have had such a wonderful time without the guidance of my dear teachers. I wasn’t sure how the online classes would be but it turned out to be awesome, and it was only because of the teachers below.
Usha Ma’am (Hindi) – Made understanding hindi like understanding english and taught us so many morals.
Madhu Ma’am (English) – Made it one of my favourite subjects.
Sophie Ma’am (Biology) – Always kept biology my favourite subject.
Rehana Ma’am (History) – made history a very interesting story.
Suja Ma’am (Geography) – made me realize why geogrphical features existed.
Ramya Ma’am (Physics) – Made understanding difficult concept’s easy.
Latha Ma’am (Chemistry) – made chemistry as easy as ABC’s.
Chris Sir (Maths) – Helped make maths fun.
A big thank you to all of you. Looking foward to seeing all of you in the next academic year.
Loads of love,
Kevin Ryan Hu

Hope and Encouragement is a very special thing, an invaluable treasure I personally consider it.
They are the only lights that help us go through the dark, without any scientific evidence of when the darkness will end.
Each time you send such messages, I just silently thank God for having you in our kids lives. Your words are so beautifully portrayed that it will not allow any child to get diverted in any wrong direction, no matter what the situation is.
These constant support is beyond the standard duties and it only shows how much personally dedicated you are to our kids.
Thank you so much for being such a wonderful person and a committed teacher.
Needless to say you are an effortlessly natural writer – https://old.bethanyinstitutions.edu.in/life-in-the-high-school-department-by-yasmin-celestine-sengupta/

Your children are absolutely connected, and that is purely because of all the efforts from you and virtual events. No one noticed that we are just few months away from the academic year end and no child stepped into a class room yet. Yet they are all completing their syllabus, giving their exams and chatting, arguing, smiling… nothing changed.

If Yasmin maam can be their class teacher till 12th, we the parents can escape all our parental worries. 😅

But it all seemed so impossible at the start … thank you once again for bringing the normalcy in these tough times.

Feedback on online classes conducted in
April 2020- High School
. online classes were carried out systematically and helped us to resume
learning even during this global pandemic.
This shows us how learning is not “confined to the classroom”. Despite the absence of face-to-face interaction with our teachers, we were able to cope well with the lessons.
There was a good coordination among both students and teachers which made the online session successful.
The PowerPoint presentation by the teachers was very helpful,especially with respect to subjects like Biology and Geography, where the visuals contributed to better understanding and learning.
I liked how the online classes were a two-way interaction(as opposed to recorded classes) due to which we were able to clarify doubts easily.
For the next session, I would suggest all teachers to make it compulsory for the students to switch on their cameras during the classes to ensure that they are present and listening. This would also prevent any outsiders from joining the class and causing disturbance.
I also suggest trying other online conference apps and software, such as Google Meet, as the Zoom app doesn’t respond at times even with full connection(according to my personal experience).
The online classes were properly regulated and prevented our learning process from slowing down under the current circumstances. I think it was successful,and also a new experience for all of us.
Deepthanshu👆🏽
Personally, I found the online classes very effective. The teachers did a really good job of explaining the material through PowerPoint presentations and made it easy for us to understand. However I felt like the zoom app was not very secure. People with usernames like ‘HACKER’ joined our chat and were playing music and disturbing the class. This happened even though the meetings were private and the meeting ids were changed for every class. Overall, the teachers did a very good job but I was not very happy with the zoom app.
Sara👆🏽
Ma’am the online classes are useful.
Your PowerPoint presentation is helpful as it highlighted the key points.
Ma’am one suggestion would be to make everyone turn on their cameras and let it remain on throughout the class and the teachers should remove those who switch off the camera and disturb the class.
The teachers can make the class more interactive by asking questions.
It would be helpful if the material is shared at the end of class.
Thank you ma’am.
Nikhil👆🏽
“I actually enjoyed online classes as the teachers were able to explain with comprehensible clips and pictures which helped in understanding the chapter”
“Though there were problems in communication it still provided a clear picture of what we were supposed to learn”
Mitra👆🏽

The online classes went smoothly thanks to the effort put in by the teachers
The teaching went smoothly and the classes were interactive just like how it would be at school
I could understand all the concepts taught very well and my time was spent productively while lessening the burden which would have otherwise pressured us when the school reopened
It was a wonderful experience
Thank you
Our school has always been there to support us and bring out the best in all
situations. This attitude hasn’t waivered even in it’s handling of the pandemic.
Hats off to the school in taking the required measures for our safety by preponing
the holidays, while making sure we receive the adequate academic support for
being able to write our upcoming ICSE board examinations.
I am extremely grateful to all my teachers for conducting the online classes
even in the middle of all their work at home, especially during the lockdown when
there were no helping hands available. The online classes made this lockdown a
lot less boring for all us students and helped us utilize our time more productively.
Though school classes would always be preferred, in my opinion, certain classes
were better understood by me because of the ppts and other media used.
Computer classes for instance were amazing where we saw the program being
executed simultaneously as we are learning them. In Geography and Biology
classes the content was really more comprehensive because of ma’ams’
wonderful ppts. In History and English classes our teachers immediately answered
our doubts. Our history teacher was able to share so much more information by
immediately showing us the answers on the internet. English classes were more
fun as she shared links and even shared the details of the TV programs where
they were discussing specifically on English for ICSE Xth board. In Mathematics,
Physics and Chemistry classes our teachers were able to solve all our doubts by
using their digital whiteboards. They were able to explain with the help of ppts.
I am really thankful to the management of our school, who thought about
us and I am indebted to our brilliant hardworking teacher’s initiative to continue
teaching us and helping us use our time productively during the Corona
pandemic. I’m sure we all are grateful for being this privileged. Our heartfelt
thanks to all you teachers and the school management for being so concerned.
The online classes were the only things keeping us to remain focused during this
difficult time. Later, when we recall this pandemic in the middle of all the sad
events that we will remember, these classes will be the happiest memory flashing
Thank you my dear teachers.
ADVANTAGES
Classroom engagement
Dynamic learning
Instructional depth
More family time
Reduce costs
Increased student time
Disadvantages
Technical difficulties may occur( lack of Internet )
IMPROVEMENTS
When all the participants are on mute when the speaker is talking( will increase the clarity of the speaker )
Use a good Authoring tool ( a PC, IPAD, etc)
Choosing online courses that do not require much internal memory( eg: Microsoft Teams)
Sir everything was good.
The classes were smooth n I did not find any difference between learning in a class n learning online
I felt that in case we use microsoft teams anybody can admit the people who join and cause a problem that is any person might allow his/her frnd who can creates a nuisance
But in zoom only the host can control the entry of the others
I do not know whether we have the same option in teams of the control of participants
The year 2020 has been different so far with the Corona virus and everything from meeting friends to classrooms have become digital.
In these unprecedented and uncertain times, our teachers have stepped up and made sure our education wasnt affected.
Since 1 april ..our teachers have bought our education to us thru another platform.
Online learning was a different experience.
Fr all of us here, i feel tht the teacher student interaction was better during online classes and due to Pdfs n slideshows, we were able to catch up on our notes anytime we require.
The only thing tht i would like to change would be to make it compulsory to turn on the camera’s as tht instill a sense of discipline.

Current situation, students were informed that classes would resume online and studies would be continued which were left abruptly in March . Although the method of teaching through online classes was very new and different for all, the teachers helped us to get accustomed to it by visual learning. The power point presentations were helpful for us to understand the concept and also the fact Bethany adapted to this type of learning so quickly was well appreciated by all with time being efficiently utilised.
It is my sincere suggestion that teachers would take strict attendance as it was observed in a few classes that the number of students were not up to the class strength. It would help if the topics were revised and discussed slower, with more interaction. Also to be made clear to students to login few minutes beforehand in order to not waste any time .
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
Rithika Kurkimat
Zoom online classes were a very new concept for students and especially teachers.A concept which seemed very difficult to comprehend and understand intially. Since we are in the 10th grade we were worried whether this system would actually benefit our learning and understanding.We started off with Mathemtaics taken by Smitha ma’am on 30th March and then gradually moved into subjects like Physics taken by Padampriya ma’am ,Chemistry taken by Bala ma’am, History/civics taken by Annie ma’am,English taken by Serene ma’am ,Biology taken by Archana ma’am and Geography taken by Jayshree ma’am which eventually ended on April 30th.
The entire one month experience was intriguing and very helpful.The explanations of the teachers had the same enthusiasm and eagerness which we experienced in class.Most of our teachers prepared PPt’s which helped us to understand better and visualise our concepts in the form of videos and images which usually does not happen very often in school.
The only drawbacks were the interuptions that we faced during certain classes.In order to prevent this I would request that the teachers strictly inform the children that they must ensure that throughout the class their videos are switched on and if they are having any inconveniences in doing so,one must give a prior notice to the teachers by asking their parents to inform the teacher personally.On behalf of all the students of Std 10 we really appreciate and admire the effort that our beloved teachers have taken in making this experience a worthy and memorable one.We would really appreciate it if these online classes would continue during the time of lockdown for the coming months.
Thanking You.
Yours sincerely,
Khushi S Shetty

Dear Akash,
Zeena and I would like to thank ALL at Bethany High for doing an amazing job in these very trying,difficult and uncertain times.
We know how difficult and challenging it was for Zeena and I to keep our kids occupied during the initial days of the lock down.These poor souls have to suffer because of our follies.
We thank one and all for the effort they have put in to start the on line classes. Both our girls are so happy doing the classes, they also love the interaction with the teachers and friends, not to mention that they are eagerly looking forward to attend school.
At times it must be very hard on the staff dealing with parents some motivating and some demotivating but please be assured that many off us parents are standing with you all.
I guess on line studies is going to be the new norm for sometime to come.
Akash, on a personal note if there is any way I can be of help please do let me know.
Our prayers are with you all, may the precious blood of Jesus cover each one of you and your families with his precious blood and the Holy Spirit guide and protect you all.
Thank you and God Bless
Anosh.👍🏼👌🙏🏼

We are very privileged to be associated with Bethany High . Not only academically but socially and mentally Bethany has always supported our children, Abhinav and Shreya M Reddy . If our children have grown up to be good citizens of the country it is because Bethany has taught them a lot of values . We have always been honoured to come across the teachers, students and staff of Bethany as they have always been very humble and cordial to us. The teachers of Bethany have been extremely friendly to our children and have been approachable at all times. We will always be grateful to Bethany which was the second home to our children.

We are Carlin ‘s parents Niranjan and Serena would like to thank Akash sir, Robert sir and the entire staff of Bethany Junior College for the fantastic 2 years Carlin has been part of Bethany . A big shout out in praise for Mr. Pankaj and his team for ensuring that online classes were set to quickly and went on smoothly not interrupting the academic year for the students. Thanks to all the teachers for the extra effort they put in last year during the lockdown to ensure that portions were completed, exams conducted and the year went on flawlessly.
When Avishi joined Bethany, we were excited as well as apprehensive . Excited because we had heard so much good about the school and the faculty. Apprehensive because it would be a new environment for her at a critical stage in her academic journey. 2 years passed by so quickly. While the pandemic stole from the kids the bonding and fun of high school, the teachers and management of Bethany ensured that the kids did not loose out on the academics. Your commitment to the student’s development is phenomenal and we thank you for that.

We are so grateful for everything the school has done for us. Thank you Bethany and teachers for all your efforts.

Dear Madam,
This is Jagathpreethy, Parent of Thushara R Shenoi, an, outgoing student of grade 12.
I write this mail to express my deepest gratitude and endless appreciation for all the teachers at Bethany Junior College.
Two years back, when we decided to send our daughter to Bethany, it was with a lot of excitement, expectations and at the same time with lots of anxiety. Anxiety of whether she would be able to adjust here, will the teachers be approachable, will she make new friends, and so on . But as the days passed, all our anxieties vanished. It was as if she found a new home. The teachers were so friendly yet strict when needed, the best gang of classmates, so widely talented, the best of opportunities a student would wish for. First year at Bethany passed like a few moments, so fast, filled with activities like bakeathon, carnival, and many other events.
Then came the year 2020, the year that turned out to be special in all senses, to the whole world. It brought about another unseen side of Bethany in front of her as well as us. Parents were witnessing the transformation of offline classes to online. The dedication with which the teachers of BJC made this happen is commendable. The teachers never made the children feel that they were not in college.
The extent to which teachers have gone to keep the spirit of learning high is unimaginable. I have seen how Ms. Leena Jose Martin, the economics teacher , who was out of station due to some medical emergency, made sure her classes were never missed. She took all the pain of taking classes from the remote place, from the hospital, just for the betterment of her students. She is one among the whole team of teachers lead by Ms. Angeline, who dedicated themselves to encourage and help the students in their learning .
Salutes to all the teachers- Ms. Sunitha, Ms. Aruna , Ms Geetha Nittala and Ms Smitha Suresh. The pace at which they have adapted and upgraded themselves with the new technology in teaching is amazing. They have set an example. When my daughter was filling the college application for The Next genius foundation, all of them provided her with all the support, encouragement and required documents. It was such an enriching experience for her. Now my daughter is feeling so sad that her days at Bethany are coming to an end.
At this point, I wish to thank the Management of Bethany from the bottom of my heart, for doing everything possible to keep learning unhindered in the hard times.
I thank all the teachers; I know ‘thank you’ is not enough for expressing my gratitude to them for guiding our children and keeping their confidence high in these testing times.
I wish all the graduating students the very best for their future endeavors. They can never go wrong with such great teachers in their life.
Regards,
Jagathpreethy

Dear Michelle mam,
I take this opportunity to thank you for your efforts in bringing Parth to this level. Bethany institution was a dream for Parth before the admission as it is a very famous institution in the neighborhood. For the past two years we are experiencing the same. First I would like to thank Mr. Ryall and family for building a strong foundation. Teachers are the main pillars of success of any educational institution. You are chosen meticulously and I as a parent can vouch for the same. Special thanks to Angie Ma’am for her continuous support. She took extra steps to help Parth. I am so grateful to her. Thank you once again.

Our daughter Sakshi has grown to her full potential with the help of her teachers, who have been helpful and encouraging. We truly appreciate the effort of all members of staff.

I am very happy and fortunate that my daughter Yashvi Raval got selected for the Humanities stream at Bethany Junior College. It has been the best time for her for the last two years to be part of the Bethany family.
That school management is very supportive in all aspects and queries. Right from the admission process to the latest Valedictory functions, they have done all things with class and very well managed.
I would like to thank the all teachers of junior college for all the love and care extended to all the children. I would like to thank HOD Angie Ma’am and Michelle ma’am for their support and the efforts they have done for my daughter. Overall I feel very happy and fortunate that my daughter got to be part of the Bethany family. 🙏
Bethany’s management n teachers have always been supportive, patient, friendly, and approachable. The school has played a big role by embedding good life values in both my daughters. ☺️
Thank you

Bethany has always been a second home to Sahana.
We put Sahaana in Bethany not just for the extremely good faculty but also for the joyous environment.
Sahana always enjoyed every activity hosted by Bethany, right from class assembly to tuck shop.
Bethany also had the concept of decorating the bulletin board, which was a very interesting and fun-filled activity for the kids.
Bethany junior college, 11th and 12th was the best. She was provided with lot of opportunities and personal attention was given to her by every teacher.
I as a parent would say that BJC had the most qualified teachers.
More than teacher they were mentors.
Thanks to Bethany for these amazing 13 years.
And yes; I would say that BJC is the best place for self-development and for students to prepare themselves to face the bigger world.

Dear Namrath Ma’am,
Let me start by thanking each and every teacher of pre- nursery for putting in so much effort for the tiny tots. Last academic year was very tough for all of us and to be honest I was put off by the fact that my youngest one won’t be able to attend school (honestly I just wanted “ME” time after sending everyone to school).
The recorded classes as well the online classes were a success. Initially my thoughts were that it not going to work for 3 year olds as they do not have a tendency to sit through nor they have any classroom experience. I was proved wrong. My daughter looked forward to the recorded videos, so much so that she recognises all the teachers. Kripa Ma’am, so composed and pleasant, Kavitha Ma’am so jovial and zestful and our very own Namrath Ma’am who has gone to great lengths to make the videos and make them appealing to small kids.
The online classes i would have preferred if it was 2 days a week. My daughter loved the songs sung by Sharmila Ma’am. All the craft activities and pleasantries exchanged during that 45 minutes was enough to engage the kids. Namrath Ma’am you really made an effort to know the kids personally where at the beginning or at the end of each session you took time to talk to the little ones.
The entire pre-nursery curriculum was essayed in such a fashion that there was a continuity and rhythm to everything that was being taught. All the teachers were able to built a rapport with the kids even though virtual which talks a great deal about the sincerity and hard work put in.
Thank you very much for this opportunity

Dear Kavitha Ma’am,

Hello Namrath Mam,
Regarding the feedback on online and offline classes for Pre-Nursery students.
My Personal experience is that all the teachers (offline and online classes) have done an excellent job. In this Pandemic situation, I understand the effort you all have taken to keep things updated and well organised.
But it was very difficult to make my daughter sit and watch the videos, also the online classes. The only drawback is they are missing the experience of attending the classroom sessions and interacting with other kids.
Otherwise, I am very happy with the classes that you have provided.
Happy Holidays and stay safe.
Regards,
Bharathi Anand.
FEEDBACK FROM PARENTS OF NURSERY CHILDREN
Hi Pooja Ma’ am,
Online classes were really good. I understand that lot of effort would have been there to make a 40 min class every week.
Talent’s day was special for all the kids. Especially Dashin was really excited to show his talent that day.
Thanks a lot for the all the effort and creative way of teaching.
Regards,
Ramya

Hello Pooja Mam,
This is Rabia Aisha’s mum studying in your class Nur C, I would like to share with you few insights about how this last year has been.
Firstly, the academics have been exceptional.
With Online classes being the new Norm, We were very impressed by the overall learning schedule and how well the Teacher’s have put in soo much effort to make everything seem so simple yet lot of Fun and approachable to these young tots…
Secondly, the Fascinating Stories. Dance classes. Nature talks. Physical exercises and activities has had my daughter’s full fascination and Aisha was always up and waiting for the next ones.
Though the interactions were offline. I see my child learn and recognise letters numbers and phonic words…
Last but not the least…your Patience and perseverance Pooja Mam during classes hats off to you!!! As half the time the kids had nothing to do but just call you and seek attention….and you always listened to each and every one of them.
Bigggg thank you to you Mam and all at Pre Primary dept for making this tough year successful for us…Looking forward to meet you soon!!

FEEDBACK FROM PARENTS OF JR 1 CHILDREN
Dear Ma’am,
Would like to apprentice the effort you have put in correcting the dictation results… So systematic and methodical in correcting their mistakes. And appreciating the ones who had done well to do better …. Hats off to your patience and perseverance during such difficult times. Anika enjoyed attending online class and taking dictation. Thank you ma’am.
Asha K parent of Anika S of Jr 1
Hi,
I’m Nandhini, parent of Arjun V.A. of Jr 1 A. This is regarding the online classes which were conducted this year for my son.
1) Personally I was very happy with the mix of 2 live and rest recorded sessions in a week as we could show the recorded videos in staggered manner.
2) This helped in balancing our office work and school classes as well as managing the screen time properly.
3) The duration of the videos were also apt in the way it is not too long. So that, we could help the kid keep his attention.
4) A special mention about Sabine ma’am, who is Arjun’s class teacher. She took the classes very lively, covered all the kids in that limited time and I could see that kids really enjoyed the way the class started with making a milkshake and singing some God songs and eventually getting into the lessons. The milkshake sessions were the ice breaker for the kids !!
What could be done when the classes resume offline:
1) A brush up of Jr 1 lessons
2) Language ramp-up.
Appreciate the sincere efforts of all teachers and Bethany management as this way of teaching is new for teachers as well.
Thank you !!
Regards,
Nandhini
My son Atharv Daagaa Reddy studying in Junior 1 – A sec has been really enjoying his online classes this year. His class teacher Sabene ma’am was very good in getting kids to adapt to this new way of learning and making learning time fun. At first I was kind of skeptical about how my son would be able to cope with online classes. But not only she made it made it fun ,she also made sure the kids understood what was being taught. The online classes was totally worth it. The kind of effort the teachers put it was great . I want to thank in every staff that put it their time and effort which made everything possible.

FEEDBACK FROM PARENTS OF STD 1 CHILDREN
My association with Bethany Pre Primary Department started in the year 2018 when I got my elder daughter admitted to Nursery. From the word go I have always had a great experience with the working of the department. All the teachers, staff, aunties, guards everyone is committed to the well being of our children. The dedication to academics and co – curricular activities is remarkable.
Last year was a test for all of us, having to face such an unprecedented time. Inspite of all the hurdles, our teachers came together to educate our children with the same enthusiasm and loyalty which Bethany is renowned for. Emimol Mam’s calm and poised attitude of dealing with the kids questions, Bhashwati Mam’s exhilaration on seeing kids even though virtual, all shows how the department has come together as a trustworthy team.Maths which is a nightmare for many kids was made supremely easy by Sharmili Ma’am.
The softness and depth with which Paromita Ma’am teaches is an epitome of patience. Maya Ma’am and Madhavi Mam’s teaching styles strike the right cord and make the language easy to grasp. And I must say Dhanalaxmi Ma’am taught me a few things about computers.
All teachers right from pre-nursery have a such a joyous and happy face which is why I think kids love to go to school. Deepu Sir with his melodious songs have a special place in our children’s hearts when he takes away the burden of studies. Shalini Ma’am, Aisha Ma’am, Sanjeev Sir, Tasneem Ma’am all ensured that school is not just about studies.
In short Bethany’s PPD is a happy place to where you not only get an education but also a disciplined life which matters the most. Bharathi Ma’am must be so proud leading such a triumphant team.
Am honored at being asked to talk about the school. Even though my association with PPD is not ending considering my youngest is in pre- nursery, but a part of me is sad thinking that this farewell is virtual, if it were normal times am pretty sure there would have been an extravagant farewell party.
Thank you

Dear Baswathi Madam,
As Daivik’s Mom, I personally wanted to thank all the teachers,
1.For all your hard work and great effort even though it was a very new experience for you too, teaching online.
The amount of patience and love you showed towards the little ones even though it was through online and that’s the reason you nicely took them under your control too.
You covered all the portions without taxing them too much unlike other schools for which we really feel proud of Bethany teachers and the school management and for our kids being in Bethany.
Not only the kids but we parents too had a wonderful experience and a great time with you all- all through the year. We enjoyed and learnt some too😉☺ along with our children like Deepak Sir’s. Each class was full of fun learning, learning Tux paint with Dhanalaxmi Madam, doing art with Tasneem Madam, knowing some new things with G.K Bindu Madam and so on.
Special thanks to the class teacher Mrs. Baswathi Madam for the way you handled these children especially on Tuesdays and Thursdays online sessions. You handled the kids with abundance of love and patience.
It was actually a great opportunity for all parents to know how Bethany usually treats their kids.
We as Daivik’s parents personally feel proud for having been associated with Bethany from his BPC days till today.
Though it was a pandemic situation, Thank you each and everyone of Bethany PPD for making this academic year a successful one. Though the children missed all the fun coming to school physically but the way you taught, they really captured well. We pray for your well being too at this time.
Thank you Once Again.
Cordially yours,

Dear Maam,
I am Mrs. Esther Jasmine, mother of Evan Jacob who is studying in Std 1 ‘A’ section.
This year has been very difficult due to Corona. Kids finished this year without going to school even a single day. But despite many difficulties, School ensured that the kids do not lack good education through the online classes. All the subjects were made very interesting through the videos.
I thank God for this wonderful opportunity for my son to study in Bethany High School and to all the teachers who put in all their efforts to teach the kids so lovingly and always having smile on their faces.
I thank the Director Dr. Akash Ryall sir, Principal, Mr. Robert sir, PPD HOD Mrs. Bharthi Maam and my son’s wonderful class teacher Mrs. Bashwathi Maam (thats you ) and to all the other subject teachers Pramitha Maam, Emimol Maam, Madhavi Maam, Maya Maam, Sharmila Maam, Pavithra Maam, Dhanalakshmi Maam, Bindhu Maam, Tasneem Maam, Ayesha Maam, Shalini Maam, Deepu Sir and Sanjeev sir.
I appreciate and thank all the teachers for the tremendous work done by all of you. God bless you all. Hoping that my son would get to attend school from June and meet all of you in person.
Thank you.
Regards,
Esther Jasmine
Respected Bharati Ma’am and Teachers,
Our daughter Amyra has been part of Bethany High School Koramangala for three years. Firstly as parents we would like to thank all the teachers and staff for their guidance and support during this journey. I would like to highlight the outstanding work put in by the teachers during the Covid crises. Keeping children of this age group engaged is an uphill task while they are at School but the same was done in an exemplary manner through Online classes.
Considering the online mode of classes something that stood out was the reduced number of live classes, this was an excellent step as children have limited retention power and concentration while sitting in front of the machine. Keeping in consideration their growing age extended period of exposure to PCs and laptops result in adversely affecting their eyesight. Due to Covid restrictions at times the recreation of children was limited to TVs and Laptops which added to their exposure to electronic devices. Keeping the above in mind the steps taken by your School to limit live classes to 2 times a week was an exemplary step.
The ability of the teachers to impart knowledge to the children through the online mode was praiseworthy and children enjoyed it so much that they would eagerly wait for their next class. Also the quality of recorded videos was of a high bar as they were self explanatory in nature and content which helped Amyra to understand everything easily. This speaks volumes of the hard work put in by the teachers to create such content.
Bethany has been a blessing to us as Parents over the past three years. A big shout out to Bharati Ma’am for ensuring an Inclusive environment and to Paramita Ma’am and all Grade 1 subject teachers for guiding the children during the difficult Covid Phase.
Regards

Respected Parmitha Ma’am,
We parents of Shaanvi. H. S ( std 1 ‘ D. ) & Shivank. H. S ( std 1 ‘ B’ ) wanted to thank you and all the teachers of Pri-primary department for all the hard work and love put in to rnake our kids lessons interesting & fun.
Ms. Parmitha Ma’am you have been such an amazing teacher with soft voice and lovely smile towards kids. You had patience to listen and respond to every kid through online classes. And your offline videos were very precise.
We like to personally thank the HOD of Pri. Primary department Ms. Bharthi ma’am , it was she at the helm that made all this happen smoothly. This was the best curriculum ever seen and heard in this New learning.
As a parents of twins , we were worried about this academics schooling but every teacher had unique quality to make the subjects interesting and fit in and we too enjoyed watching offline classes and learned few along with the kids.
We like to thank all the teachers for the efforts put in through this New learning in this pandemic. Now we totally understand how much our kids are missing school campus. Throughout Pri. primary our kids enjoyed coming to school and were happy to see their teachers and all staffs too.
We are touched beyond words, you made this New learning simply the best.
Thanking the entire Management of Bethany High,
Yours sincerely,
Shilpa K. & Harish Babu.
Dear Bhaswathi Ma’am,
On behalf of my son Tarun, I’d like to say a heartfelt thank you to you and to all the faculty members of Std. 1 who went above and beyond this academic year.
I’m sure it was hugely challenging to teach children in a new environment and recreate coursework virtually. But your collective passion, commitment and dedication brought the lessons to life online, with engaging, well-made videos in every subject and an element of fun. (Deepak Sir’s videos were for the whole family!)
In particular, I would like to thank you, Bhaswathi Ma’am, for making the weekly ‘live’ classes so effective. Logging in early for an informal interactive half-hour with the kids, listening to them, drawing them out — you made every child feel special and ‘visible’, contributing to their growth in this challenging year. Your encouraging smile, kind words and attentiveness went a long way in boosting their confidence. Though I never attended the live classes with my son, he would report in great detail later — on what his classmates said, what Bhaswathi Ma’am said — and it always seemed like a lively discussion!
Thank you also to Bharathi Ma’am, whose guidance was felt at every step, in the overall, elevated quality of teaching and instruction.
If anything, this year has reinforced just how valuable a teacher’s contribution is to a child’s life — so thank you again. Here’s wishing you, and all the teachers of the pre-primary section, continued success ahead!
Thanks,
Pushpalee (Tarun Johnson’s mom)
Dear Paramita Ma’am,
As parents we were wondering about the efficacy and usefulness of the online classes. But all thanks to the Bethany Administration and mostly to you and all the wonderful teachers who made it an experience worth waiting for each week of the year gone by. Especially you Ma’am have been such a wonderful teacher! How I wish my daughter had the opportunity to be with you in the class and experience the calm, beautiful method of teaching which you have.
My daughter and I have sat through your online classes together and at number of occasions I have told Avigail, how I wish I was her age and could have been your student. You are the just the sweetest teacher I have ever seen. Avigail and all her classmates have missed out on this opportunity to be with you due to the pandemic but we hope to meet you in the coming year and thank you in person. We wish you a very long life… just so more and more children can experience learning from a beautiful, involved and amazing teacher like you!!!

Dear Bethany management, HOD primary dept. and Class teacher Jacklin Ma’am.
I would like to thank the Bethany management for its initiative to have live MST classes which is a good move to have live interaction with the students in this scenario. We appreciate and thank the class teacher of my son for inculcating values of life along with the Literature class. We were there when the class was going on as my son needs my help sometimes. I was really amazed to see the teacher connecting the Literature lesson with simple but very important values like kindness and care for others, which in fact is the most important thing to learn at this formative age.
Bethany High school is one if the best and elite schools in Bangalore and it always stands out for what it
Academics is taught in all schools, but the values imparted in your school needs a applaud.
Once again Thank You so much Ma’am.
Thanks and Regards

On behalf of Vedika, I would like to thank you and all teachers of primary dept. at Bethany (Std.2) for their support and guidance through this turbulent academic year. Jackie maam,you made the children feel so connected through your online classes and Vedika always looked forward for them.
The videos by all the Std.2 class teachers Jyothi maam, Nithya maam,Aditi maam, Meenakshi maam and Jackie maam were excellent and they had made it so easy for the children to understand. Hindi classes by Ginni maam were so well taught and interesting. The art videos by Jyoti maam was a stress buster and Vedika enjoyed them. Thanks to Abacus teacher, computer teacher PE and Value Ed teacher, Reading, Music teachers! Their videos/classes were so important to keep the children calm and grounded! We as parents respect and value all your efforts and hard work during this difficult year.
Dear Elizabeth Ma’am,
We the parents of Aadi Aryan Surin of Std 4B batch 2020-2021, are really indebted to you and all the subject teachers in the primary dept. including the Bethany Management, Koramangala, Bangalore.
We are grateful to you and the school for ensuring flawless and seamless delivery of all the sessions. Along with the main subjects, even the Art and Craft, PT, Dance, Story Telling etc subjects were taken as it used to be while in school classes. The online classes were uninterrupted and the children did pay complete attention.
The exams were also conducted professionally and in a smooth manner.
We thank the Learning Lab teachers too.
The extracurricular activities like all competition, face painting, talent show to name few were quite interesting and our son Aadi Aryan Surin did participate.
We the parents are grateful and thank to You, all the Teachers and Bethany High Management for putting in their heart and soul for the online classes successfully.
Words are less to express our gratitude!!!

Music Classes
– Good Morning Mam!! Came to know about the govt.decision to stop the classes..we all are feeling very sorry and worried for all the hard work done by you teachers should not be wasted.by attending just one day offline classes we were so amazed and thrilled to see the level of hardwork put by you teachers for our kids. kids were also very excited to see few of their old techers music-deepu sir and kannada -madhavi mam. I really wish and pray government changes it’s policies and allow the classes to resume.we don’t know yet the teachers of std 1 personally..we know who our kids class teachers but would request you if you are in contact with them please convey our heartful thanks not only to them but all the teachers including you. we are very thankful for having such good teachers🙏🏻🙏🏻.

– Respected Madam,
I would like to🔥 share with you the feedback regarding online classes.
To be honest,Anika and I havent completed all the classes up to date.However I tell you,it is still such pleasure to go through the classes .The efforts that the teachers are putting to get all things together is worth applauding.
The dedication and the sheer joy of being able to teach is evident in the videos and somehow the good vibes flow through and reach the kids and us parents too.
Ana in particular loves to get on to the classes to watch Sumi Ma’am’s beautiful sarees,Ramya Ma’am’s easy quick ways to remember number classes , Kannada Ma’am’s “Makkale” and Hindi teacher’s “Hey Bhagwaan ” song. My chubby baby is a little lazy to Shane Sir’s movement class but does her best when I tell her Shane Sir is watching. She also thoroughly enjoys music classes and gives us gyaan on “Bocal” (vocal) practice. All in all , they remain connected to the essence of school and it keeps me going through this tough phase. I appreciate all that is being done ,with a few glitches here and there but I also remember “to err is human”.I think this year and the next the teachers and parents need to be supportive because the ultimate motive for both of us is the “Child”.
Thank you for the continued effort .It is Huge and no amount of appreciation can match the love and warmth that goes into your teachings.
Regards,
Shruthi

FOUNDERS DAY 2020
– The service was like a beautiful journey. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏. Blessed!
(Parent)
- Dear Mr. Akash, Robert and the entire Bethany family…
At the outset.. A Blessed Founder’s Day to every Bethanite.
It was such an honor and pleasure to witness and be a part of the beautiful service this morning. It did bring out the sacrifice of the most dedicated and gracious Lady Founder.
The music dept. in bethany is just fantastic. Each member is highly talented and we could see the hard work that had gone into bringing out an outstanding service.
The Guest Speaker in his message was powerful in bringing out The WISE foundations of Jesus Christ. A great tribute to the Founder of this institution. Having worked in Bishop Cotton Boys’ and Ebenezer International School, announcing about the Mignon 5 aside is so fresh in my mind. May her legacy continue to grow.
Here’s wishing each one of you a successful future. TESTED, TRUSTED, TRIUMPHED …
GOD BLESS

May God help us as individuals and as a department to grow to be more like Jesus and exalt Him in all we do. God bless🙏🙏

- Wow wow wow Bethany Family… words fail me this time and it’s so difficult to express our happiness and our pride to have witnessed such an awesome program this evening. Was it 5 hours!!!!!
Every child was just marvellous and their talent just superb. Their unique qualities brought together on one platform could have been possible only through stalwarts like you. MR. AKASH RAYALL, MR. ROBERT KHEIN and MRS SHANTI RAVINDRAN hats off to each one you as I know what has gone behind the scenes being there myself … sometime ago!!
As always … your music department is just outstanding. But for their efforts, an evening like this would not have been possible. A word of appreciation to the staff as well. Every department and various branches of the School were just fantastic. Good unity and commendable job.
The pride of Bethany …the Alumni …your link with your Alma Mater can never be severed.
As we have entered the season of Christmas, thanks for sharing what makes one understand the value of life and to count our blessings.
Season’s Greetings to all at Bethany
