Education is not learning of facts but the training of the mind
to thinkā
- Albert Einstein
A School is always a 'World in miniature' where one receives a 'training for
life', where effective, meaningful and joyful learning takes place. It is
here that we begin to learn our lessons of life-to accept challenges, face
competition, defeat and failure, and rejoice at victory and triumph. We are
committed to traditional Indian values and culture for children to keep a
connect with their identity, but we also recognize the need for a global
perspective in life.
At SAMITHI ENGLISH MEDIUM SCHOOL it is our aim not only to pursue academic
excellence but also to motivate our students to be lifelong learners,
critical thinkers and productive members of an ever-changing global society.
We try to provide our students with an atmosphere for multifaceted
development, where children are encouraged to channelize their potential in
the pursuit of excellence. We aim to nurture the talents, skills, and
abilities of each student and provide them to negotiate several issues that
confront them, with the educator being a facilitator. Our approach to
learning is child-centric, encouraging activitybased learning and
inculcating a scientific temper and a spirit of free enquiry. In our
curriculum, the student is the primary focus, and each child is involved in
the learning process. We motivate our educators to provide an atmosphere for
discovery, where students are encouraged to be creative and curious, instead
of only loading the children with academic burden.
While academic excellence is our major thrust, the school is also devoted to
prepare our students for life, prepare them to face the challenges of
tomorrow, and encourage them to be socially relevant. We encourage each
child to develop in their special field of interest so as to best showcase
their particular type of talent and grow to their full potential, and
constantly groom them to pass out as men and women competent to bear
responsibility in all walks of life. Our school aim to develop a good sense
of discipline and moral values within the everchanging social norms of
society. Children these days are much more sensitive: they possess very high
self-esteem and believe in independent thinking. Therefore, we ensure that
the approach to motivating and getting the best out of children is based on
the positive reinforcement of good work and good behaviour. Our educational
philosophy is centred on praise, encouragement, enthusiasm, and affection,
rather than criticism, fear and punishment.
Our vision is to work in partnership with our pupils, parents, and the
community at large to create a positive and inclusive environment for high
quality learning and teaching where everyone is valued and respected.
Education is learning, not only how to succeed in life and make money or
hold positions, but also, how to fail and stand up again. Education is also
having the courage and strength to walk on the path of truth, humility and
hard work which I am trying to follow.
