“We want education by which
character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded
and by which one can stand on one’s own feet.”

tolerance, fair play, compassion, integrity, and fortitude. We strive to
provide education that explores, challenges, and grooms every aspect of the student’s
personality. While we are determined to provide seamless learning targeted
towards excellent academic performance through the incorporation of the latest
teaching approaches, we also ensure that we are actively working on the
physical, social, emotional, and spiritual training of our students. We focus
on contextual learning based on a constructivist theory of teaching &
learning to provide techniques such as problem-solving, learning by doing &
inquiry-based learning activities. Our teachers help students to test their
ideas, draw conclusions & inferences in a collaborative learning
environment which transforms the students to become active participants in the
learning process.
Our teachers are professionally
equipped to develop adapt and modify curriculum content, pedagogy &
assessment which suit the needs and aspirations of our students. We work
towards a holistic, experiential, integrated, student-centered educational system
that helps to improve the creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving
skills of our young learners to equip them for the ever-changing employment
dynamics and global ecosystems.
Our alumni who are our real
ambassadors, are doing great in their respective fields. The success stories of
our alumni encourage us to work more and are our biggest reward.
