From the parent's word...
And then through all my working
years, I distinctly felt the disconnect between school studies and real world.
However, I am so happy that our school is
today filling that gap. Along with the textual knowledge, our kids are learning about the real world outside and applying
the rules of business, eco conservation, time management, team work and so many
more essential skills which will stand them in good stead in later years. The School Enterprise has given a
fresh perspective and a great platform to the kids to first hand learn the
lessons which otherwise have to be learnt the hard way. On the one hand, our children are
interacting and learning from children and teachers from a global school and on
the other they are passing these skills to very underprivileged street children
from our city. That they are able to balance these two extremes with equal
ease, speaks volumes about the strength and confidence this school has provided
them with. Academic brilliance can only be a small part of one’s life but these
life lessons are the very foundation on which our children will build their
life. I am delighted that our school is one of the rare educational institutes
which does not follow the rat race but charters its own path and the future
path of all its students.
My personal experiences with the school
activities has reinforced my belief that school should be more than text books
and a 95% result and this has helped me to encourage and promote a more healthy
and fulfilling life for my child. I deeply appreciate the efforts that the
school is taking and hope our children will continue to benefit from it. On my
part, I would like to offer my full support and time in any way that I can in
furthering this enterprise.
