e cannot teach the child but just help him learn.

Education should be closely integrated with the child’s immediate environment.

Education is not filling a bucket but lighting a candle.

The child’s perspective must always be respected.

We need to compete for wisdom, not for grades.

Memory oriented teaching cripples the child’s innate sense of wonder and fantasy.

Focus on ‘Why’ rather than ‘What’ and ‘How’.

Every child is encouraged to ask questions and find solution independently.

We believe that learning does not end at school but continues till the last breath of the life.

he right choice of a career is of fundamental importance. We have made an arrangement with one of

the India’s Best Premier career Guidance organisation for guidance & counselling, advice, vocational

training, encouragement and orientation. Students choose right profession and careers keeping in mind

the aptitude, talent, skills, resources etc. of each and every student.

The process starts with a written test and then guidance to the child by exploring the right opportunities

in each and every field. The parents have to attend the workshop and are guided by the professionals.

External ExaminationMaths Concept Examination, Marathi External Examination, Hindi External Examination, Art, Craft & Hand writing are a regular feature in our school, which are conducted regularly.

Philanthropic ActivitiesWith a view to inculcate in the students a charitable disposition as well as encouraging them to spare a thought for the needy, philanthropic activities are conducted.

Lingua-phone, Karate, Swimming and UCMASOur students are exhilarated at the installation of the Lingua-phone Laboratory, the launching of Karate classes, Swimming Classes and UCMAS classes. They are thrilled to enter these classes and with the passage of time, fruitful results are clearly evident.

Visits and OutingsStudents of all age groups should enjoy and benefit from outings, visits, field trips - the many and varied ways in which their education can be enhanced by seeing something new and by going somewhere different.

Pupils are encouraged to widen their horizons through a variety of activities and outings and these activities are different in purpose and in length. Older students collect information for their history, geography or science project or perhaps traveling on a sporting or cultural visit or exchange their ideas. For the younger students, visits to local institutions and places of interest provide similar opportunities on a smaller scale. Whatever the age of the student, or the scope of the project, the opportunity to look beyond the immediate, enhances the student’s perception.

Community ServiceStudents are encouraged to play their part in community service, within the House System, School and in the local community. They assist in the day-to-day management of the School and also in School events. Through community service projects that address local issues such as the environment, food for the homeless, volunteering at hospitals or reading to the blind, students will find opportunities to help others and become more aware of their needs.

e have a team of dedicated and devoted teachers who are committed to their duties. Apart from basic

qualifications our staffs are specially trained in the areas of First-Aid, Health Education and Counselling.

The student-teacher ratio is as high as 1:10 to monitor physical, mental, educational and cultural

development of the child’s personality.

We also have an-in-house Teacher’s Trainer who trains our teachers on a continuous basis.

WE BELIEVE

A creative Teacher matches one’s teaching style with the learning style of the Student.

If the child does not learn or fail to understand the subject, It is the mistake of the Teacher and one’s

inability to come down to the level of the child.

“If I Can’t learn the way you teach,will you teach me the way I can learn?”
