Dear Students, teachers and parents,
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to our school website. Podar International School believes in the holistic growth of each child, aligning our goals with those of the new National Education Policy has been a key component in our vision.
We at Podar believe in constant progress and up gradation in order to equip our students and staff with skills to face the challenges of the 21st century which is accomplished by our team of committed staff and the provision of an excellent all round education for our students.
As Principal, it is my firm belief that each child should reach for the stars with feet firmly rooted in the ground, with the essence of traditional values and modern thoughts. In the words of Kalpana Chawla "The path from dreams to success does exist. May you have the vision to find it, the courage to get on to it, and the perseverance to follow it."
It is our objective to create a heaven for students and teachers where growth is effortless and creativity is fostered. I believe that a strong, passionate and student oriented staff at the core is essential for a successful school. As the Principal of the school, I feel honored and privileged to be part of an educational institution where every stakeholder is a learner and every day is an opportunity to learn and discover. We look at ourselves as a community of learners, where everyone learns including our teachers, parents & staff.
In the words of Anatole France,” Nine tenths of Education is Encouragement”, we believe in motivation as a quintessential component in consistent growth.
“Education is for improving the lives of others and for leaving your community and world better than you find it”, working with and for the community is a key factor in the lives of students. I believe that community engagement is pivotal for growth of a school and constantly strive to work with my community and look forward to their feedback and support.
I believe that, the future of the world is in classrooms today, hence their grooming both mentally and physically is of utmost importance. We foster self confidence and self belief in each child.
In the words of Albert Einstein, “Education is not learning of facts but training of mind to think”. We look forward to working together to support every child to accomplish their dreams…..
