VISION:
To work in partnership with families and the community to nurture the gifts and abilities of the whole child; and to nurture human values which will lay the foundation for becoming well-balanced, responsible and useful contributors to society and to our world. Motto: Values for Life
PHILOSOPHY:
• “The end of Education is character.”(Sai Baba)
• Education is for bringing out the goodness a
nd the core values that are latent in each child.
• Character development and academic excellence complement each other in any worthwhile system of education.
• All children are capable of learning and have individual abilities, needs, interests, talents and learning styles.
• Pre-school experiences lay the foundation for love of God, deep love and respect for self, love and respect for the natural environment, respect for and appreciation of all races, cultures and creeds.
• Parents/Caregivers are the child’s first teachers, sharing equally in the child’s education.
• The primary bridge between home and school is the involvement of family and community.
• Teaching is a lifelong process of learning about new philosophies, new strategies, learning from the parents and community, learning from colleagues, and especially learning from the children.
• A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops. CORE VALUES:
Truth
Right Conduct/ Right Action
Peace
