Congratulations on your decision to accept the challenging and exciting task of admitting/continuing your ward in the school. It is with great pleasure and a wonderful sense of anticipation that I extend a warm welcome to you and your ward to the new academic session 2023-24.
We would also like to welcome our new students and their parents with a definite assurance that you will find the school welcoming and warm at heart with an energetic environment, conducive to learning and growth.

Our Mission is:
To be the leading K12 institution which encourages learners to realize their true potential inspiring educators to become critical thinkers and provide a safe and enabling environment to become compassionate leaders and practice innovative learner-centered pedagogy.
With a firm belief that our parents would extend co-operation and support as always to help us build holistic personality of our students, here are some important points and we request all our parents to adhere to them.
We wish to make the academic year interesting and a fulfilling one for our learners and parents. The school aims to produce global citizens by providing exposure to global standards of learning besides maintaining the local essence so that all stakeholders are aligned to the same goals and standards set by the school and by living up to them consciously. The school provides a holistic learning experience to the students by engaging them in core academics, various supplementary programmes to provide focused learning experience, value add programmes to elevate in school learning to higher levels and 21st century skills to prepare them to face the challenges and rise up to suit the global standards.

Students are not to absent themselves without prior sanction. The parents must send an absentee note in the diary(page nos.20 & 21).In case of medical leave for 3 days or more, it is mandatory for the student to submit a medical fitness certificate on joining back failing which the student will be sent back home.

If a student is absent on the day of the test due to medical reasons, a written application supported by a medical certificate must be submitted on the same day.
