Our Principal Message

The aim of good school should be to provide a holistic education for its pupils. The school aims at inculcating integrity, trust, religious harmony, compassion and tolerance to see that courage and industry have the due reward and also to promote a spirit of enquiry in the young minds. The pursuit of excellence and courage at our school rests on the positive belief that every individual has the ability to produce work of exemplary standards. We believe that student’s own family by their intelligence, interest and co-operation can make the young person’s education important and meaningful. They can help to lead a simple life inspite of the tangle of stimuli with which the modern world confronts us. We believe that we are training students to take the places among other human beings with confidence in our nation’s great tradition and the courage to adopt them to the challenges of the changing world. The school has thus to enlist the co-operaion of the home, strengthen its influences and make itself a radiant replica of the home.
