“ Education is not preparation of life, education is life itself ”
- John Dewey
We affirm that education begins at birth and continues through life. For creating a vision and mission in life, we strongly believe in the collaborative effort that involves professional administrators, dedicated teachers and motivated students. Education is the most powerful weapon which can be used to change the society and quality education means character building.
The biggest challenge in front of any school is to grow the children to face the challenges of a “Globalised World”.
Education isn’t just imparting knowledge for getting job, but a life long process which creates understanding of world,
Skills and abilities of each student need to be identified, nurtured and encouraged so that they become the future hope of the nation.
As a 21st century organisation, the school desired to set an approach to learning that incorporated inquiry, research, analytical thinking and ethical approach that becomes a life time habit. We want to mould a generation who can serve and succeed not only in their careers but also in serving humanity and develop empathy and sensitivity to face the challenges in life.
Let us commit ourselves to pave the path for a promising generation.
At PODDAR BRIO International School, nurturing the leaders of tomorrow is a prime concern. We believe that talent needs to be nurtured.
