Our Mission: In the process of education, the school aids the spontaneous development of the mental, spiritual, emotional, psychic, physical, creative and artistic personality of the child, thus giving them an all round growth potential. Our school is an extension of the students’ home where care, love, good sense, discipline, humor, empathy and traditional values abound. It provides for growing children to grow harmoniously in an environment that respects each individual’s space while sharing a family life experience. Here we nurture the varied multiple intelligences present in children and provide enough opportunity and freedom for expression and thus for love of learning to grow and lead to an explosion.
The students studying in the school are exposed to an integrated value system based on the family, community and global society. While individualism has its virtues, progress within society occurs largely when students work jointly, and are able to fuse their personal, social and global values. Team spirit arises through sound social values by placing community interests above one. The life at school enhances the ability of a student to make a choice in governing one's life, choosing right value systems and determining relationships. This is brought about by providing them an atmosphere of compassion, love and emotional stability.
We lay a lot of importance on physical development through participation in sports. This promotes qualities like cheerfulness, comradeship, spirit, frankness, courage, emotional well being and paves the way to remove narrow feelings not suited to humanity. Sports has various other advantages like building up stamina, body flexibility, strength, grace, improving eye-hand co-ordination, cardio-vascular fitness and agility.
We believe that every child is unique and has varied skills and interests in varied fields. This includes music, dance, art and craft. The teachers are the first to identify this and to help the child express and develop them. The biggest impediment in learning, in leading and in living life fully is fear. Fear may be in the form of fear of authority, of the unknown, of failures and even fear of oneself. We therefore, encourage the questioning spirit and appreciate candor in relationships, both in children and teachers. This paves the way for creativity and ‘initiative’ to be instilled. The theme/project based learning and child centered methodology of teaching facilitate this thoroughly, brought about through inquiry, dialogue, experimentation, discussions, outside classroom exposure and hands on experience. For this we ensure freedom of thought, freedom of expression, freedom of movement and freedom of choice, which paves the way for the development of strong will power and confidence in children.
There is a fair mix of freedom and discipline in school life. This is done to ensure development of students with balanced personalities. Discipline may be imposed which would ultimately take the form of self-responsibility that comes about through values, education and motivation. Discipline also implies respecting the norms of other cultures and accepting criticism in a positive manner. We thus encourage students to build co-operation and generate harmony amongst each other.
Teachers take care by providing children, counseling and high standards of safety and livability in the school. We also advice, counsel and mentor students on all round performance, personal issues and social guidance.
A lot of training and opportunity is made available to teachers and students to assume leadership and service roles in the school and thus in the community to help realize their social responsibilities.
In imparting such an education stated above, we need to involve the community in the process and also enrich the community which the students represent. This is essential as change can only be brought about simultaneously in both places-community and school. It cannot take place in isolation…….
