The School encourages and lays emphasis on the training of the mind - the power to think and judge for oneself, for we are very much aware that there is no necessary correlation between knowledge and wisdom, and without wisdom one cannot be emancipated, i.e. freed from the bondage of the here and the now. The school thus encourages children to ask questions, voice their doubts, verify what they are told and taught. They are not urged to accept whatever they are told and read at face value. We are also aware that the chief aim of education at the school level in this country is to train the child to pass examinations and train him/her for a profession. This imparting of knowledge and training is done with care and attention: bright and airy classrooms, suitably qualified teachers, properly equipped laboratories, and a well-stocked library are some of the facilities that help the teachers in this task. |
