…Dreams transform into thoughts

Thoughts result into action… - Dr.A.P.J Abdul Kalam

Dear Parents

During the past academic year we have made great efforts to provide our students with a wide and rich variety of

learning experiences. We aimed at encouraging our students to be high achievers in all-round development.

Through the concerted efforts of our staff and unstinted co-operation of our parents we have been able to achieve

many milestones. While we sustain our school’s development and further our progress in the future, it is indeed

very pleasing for us to rejoice at our commitment to excel through focused endeavors. At the same time we extend

our gratitude to all our parents for their constant support. It gives us great joy to share with you our recent

achievements.

We believe that a happy school will inspire children's imagination, foster excellence and pave the way for a

progressive nation and a better world. We seek to accomplish this by providing a positive learning environment.

The young minds need to explore the diversity and commonality of the world with a sense of wonder, think

creatively and critically, express themselves effectively, embrace a culture of innovation, instill a love for lifelong

learning, and evolve as responsible citizens and compassionate individuals. To achieve this, we have successfully

designed and implemented an array of curricular and co-curricular programmes encompassing intellectual, creative,

spiritual, artistic, athletic and adventurous activities and pursuits. We have been able to ensure the well-being and

sustained development of every child by providing a secure, caring, collaborative and technology-enabled

environment, where inculcation of values is supreme. Our students are groomed to be responsive to societal needs

through participation in community service activities and at the same time acquire the essential life skills, self-

confidence and leadership attributes through practice of a disciplined and healthy lifestyle. Through maximization

of resources and a combination of balanced educational programmes, we are realizing our aim to develop and

nurture enlightened members of the nation.

Curriculum Planning for New Academic Session We believe that within an overarching operational, organizational framework on a cooperative, coordinated, and

continuous basis, effective curriculum planning is a must. To translate a curriculum into classroom practice and to

accommodate students' individual differences, curriculum needs have been planned holistically. Teaching units are

well planned with its broad array of objectives, content items, activities, materials, and evaluation devices

organized around a topic.

the horizon of the students of Classes V to VIII.

System of Examination

The CBSE CCE pattern of evaluation is a curricular initiative, attempting to shift emphasis from testing to holistic

learning. It is a developmental process of assessment that emphasizes on continuity in evaluation, assessment of

broad-based learning and behavioral outcomes on the other. The assessments are being carried out in over two

terms using a variety of tests and assignments. Classes LKG and UKG have three terms whereas Classes I-IV take

4 Unit Tests. Classes IX –X has one PSA (Problem solving Assessment) along with three Formative and two

Summative Assessments. Classes XI has four Tests and Class XII has four school based exams throughout the year.

holistic development of the students. Activities and projects have been made a fundamental part of the curriculum.

Remedial Teaching have resulted in enriched academic growth of several students. For better Board results every

Swami Vivekananda said “ Take up an idea, think of it, dream of it, let all your veins, brains and muscles be

full with that idea and just forget all other ideas; success will be yours!“

Seeing young people all around me, sensing their hopes and aspiration and being aware of their triumphs and joys, I

look back at the last year with fond memories. Even the last few months were full of achievements and victories, of

facing new challenges and reaching greater heights.

Quality is the result of intelligent effort. As educators we are trying to translate a dream and an ideal into reality.

All children are born equal and I believe that it is important to create equal opportunity for all. One of our major

concerns is to make children sensitive to other's needs and to be able to appreciate the differences.

While we remain steadfast in giving our students wings of ambition to soar like falcons and touch the skies, my

heart fills with pride to observe the Adityans make a mark for themselves by breaking all stereotypes.

I am committed to assuring that all students receive instruction that is rigorous, relevant, and respectful. I look

forward to continuing my support of the students, parents, and staff members.

Best wishes & warm regards,

Dr. Manoj Kumar Gupta

Principal
