Solitaire Global Schools - Katedan, Hyderabad

Solitaire Global Schools Katedan is the group's second campus, opened 2018 a year after the Attapur original. Pure Cambridge curriculum on a 40,000-square-foot site near Palladium Convention Hall. Mir Murtuza Ali founded the group; Kalal Madhavi serves as Branch Head with Sabiha Yasmeen as Vice Principal.

Full Cambridge stack: Primary, Lower Secondary, IGCSE, and Cambridge Advanced (AS/A Levels). The campus carries cricket ground, swimming pool, karate facilities, ICT labs, library, and auditorium across 40,000 square feet at Babul Reddy Nagar in Katedan.

Parent feedback at Katedan reads warmer than at the Attapur campus. Specific positives include cleanliness, transparency, frequent parent-teacher meetings, and dedicated coaching for activities like basketball. Critical accounts narrow to administrative response speed and the curriculum-transition challenge for students moving from traditional Indian schools into the Cambridge stream. Fees track higher than local schools but are described as justified by the facility and faculty quality.

The co-curricular side draws the warmest talk: swimming, coding and robotics clubs, public speaking and sport that actually run rather than sit on a brochure, and children who come out more confident and willing to compete, often after moving in from a traditional state-board or CBSE background. The parent app and the rhythm of meetings get singled out as the thing that keeps working parents in the loop day to day. Two threads recur on the other side. One is facility upkeep behind the new build, with the drinking water and general maintenance drawing repeat complaints that take more than one ask to resolve. The other is religion: the group does not make space for daily Muslim prayer, which has steered some observant families elsewhere.

Co-curricular breadth lands. Coding, robotics, swimming, and public-speaking programmes are described as genuinely running, with children gaining confidence and entering competitions rather than just attending clubs.

Day-to-day parent contact. The parent app for schoolwork, attendance and updates, paired with regular meetings, is the feature families name most for keeping them informed.

Facility upkeep behind the build. Drinking water with a foul smell and general maintenance draw repeat complaints, and parents say issues like these tend to need chasing more than once before anything moves.

No provision for daily prayer. The group does not accommodate daily Muslim prayer, which has pushed some observant families to look at other Hyderabad schools instead.

Billing beyond the headline fee. Alongside the headline fee, families describe extra charges layered on and a push for post-dated cheques covering the full year, which several read as steep for what is delivered.
