curiosity about learning,

while engendering a love, respect and understanding of self and others. We believe in the real issue in education: to see that every child leaves the school well established in goodness, both outwardly and inwardly. We want children to do more than just learn. We want them to think. And then to take that understanding to change the world. And we believe that this begins here-at our beloved School.

This quarter of 2016-17 session has been very busy.

We are delighted to chronicle in our Magazine Edugoals, just a few of our developments and laurels.

Thank you, and happy days

Sandhya Awasthi Principal

The Hundred Languages : The child is made of one hundred.

The child has a hundred languages a hundred hands a hundred thoughts a hundred ways of thinking of playing, of speaking.

A hundred always a hundred ways of listening of marveling, of loving a hundred joys for singing and understanding a hundred worlds to discover a hundred worlds to invent a hundred worlds to dream.

-Loris Malaguzzi
