The foundation of a good school is knowledgeable and friendly teachers, enthusiastic students and supportive parents. Hence, we believe that the focussed development of these foundation elements is equally important.
The teacher has the power to positively channelise the students’ enthusiasm, courage, self-confidence and determination. For this, the teacher should be balanced, trustworthy and strong-willed. They should use various techniques to gain mastery over their subject. Most importantly, they should look at the learning process with positivity and unconditional love. By combining tradition and modernization, the teacher gives direction to the whole school as an alternative to teaching. This creates thoughtful and intelligent students.
This is the aim of our school
