Our son has been attending DAV Montessori and Elementary School since pre-K. His journey at DAV started on the virtual platform during COVID-19. We have been impressed ever since! Now, he is in third grade. We commute from Sugar Land daily. Every now and then, in the midst of busyness, a thought comes: Why do we drive so far each day? Why don’t we just switch to the zoned elementary school or another private school nearby? However, this thought of switching schools quickly disappears as we constantly observe the beautiful offerings at DAV. These offerings range from participating in havan, chanting shlokas, singing in English and Hindi, expressing through traditional arts, music, and dance, celebrating various festivals, and engaging in hands-on learning. Each annual day program at DAV fills us with pure joy and serves as a pillar reminder of the instrumental role this school plays in instilling the deep roots of values and morals. At DAV, we have found the best of both worlds on many levels—from cultural, language, spiritual, mental, and physical growth to stellar academics. The nurturing and supportive environment provided by the outstanding administrative staff and teachers further enhances the learning and growth experiences. This has been a priceless journey, and we look forward to continuing it as part of this wonderful community—it is so much more than school; it is a wholesome approach to learning and life! Yes, indeed, the long commute is more than worth it! We continue on with the sincerest gratitude for all who work hard each day with dedication and love to provide the best for all students at DAV!
