Parent Stories
What Grade 10 families say about 21K School
My daughter was struggling with board exam anxiety in a traditional school. At 21K, the mock exam system and one-on-one mentoring completely transformed her confidence. She topped her batch in the NIOS Class 10 examinations.
Priya MenonParent, Bangalore — NIOS Class 10- Daughter topped batch in NIOS Class 10 boards
My son is a national-level tennis player. The recorded class system at 21K meant he never fell behind during tournaments. The NIOS board preparation was structured, thorough, and the results spoke for themselves.
Rakesh SharmaParent, Delhi — NIOS Class 10 (Athlete)- National-level tennis + 91% in boards
The career counselling in Grade 10 was exceptional. By year end, my son had a clear plan for Class 11 stream selection and university targets. The facilitators genuinely know each learner as an individual, not just a roll number.
Sunita ReddyParent, Hyderabad — NIOS Class 10- Son enrolled in Science stream at Class 11
The small class sizes make all the difference at Grade 10. My child was lost in a class of 45 at his previous school. At 21K, with 12–15 learners per class, the facilitators proactively tracked every concept gap and closed it before boards.
Nidhi KapoorParent, Mumbai — NIOS Class 10- From average marks to 88% in Class 10 boards
As working parents, the monthly progress reports and quarterly parent meetings kept us fully informed without being overwhelming. We always knew exactly where our daughter stood and what she needed. This transparency is rare in any school.
Arvind MehtaParent, Dubai UAE — NIOS Class 10- Enrolled from Dubai with seamless onboarding
My daughter has a learning difference and we were worried about board year. 21K's special education support team was involved from day one — customised study plans, extra doubt sessions, and the patience every child deserves. She passed with flying colours.
Kavitha SubramaniamParent, Singapore — NIOS Class 10- Special education support — board success achieved
