It is a indeed a proud moment for us as we share the success of a tiny seed sown 24 years back named City Pride School. In these years we have travelled a long distance, crossed a lot of hurdles, learnt from mistakes but never compromised with our final objective of highest standard of education. We are very pleased that City Pride School is opening its fourth branch at Pradhikaran Ravet this year.
We strongly believe that unlike colleges and universities, schools are the foundations where the moulds are made. Twelve long years of right schooling can transform a child into a confident, responsible and capable youth of tomorrow and we all as school, teachers and parents, are those privileged ones who can drive this transformation. Infrastructure, Curriculum, teaching learning, and evaluation are the pillars of education and are all linked with a common thread of creativity and out of box thinking.
Our school children belong to Generation Alpha that is , the children born after year 2000 . These children are born with technology and they assume that every problem is life can be solved using technology. They need immediate solution to each problem and their problem are also complex to understand sometimes by our generation. These children if given a right track and direction with proper handholding can really achieve their goals. Now with AI capturing every part of life , these children will be facing a completely different work life when the graduate . Schools will need to respond to these future challenges and also opportunities for our next gen.
Hence An ideal school system of today, should be characterized by flexibility which makes it adaptable to change .
All around us we see rapid changes in the way we perceive knowledge , we now need to redefine what is true success and yes we have the challenge to develop our children for facing the unknown challenges of future with strong foundation we give them today. Rather than giving too much emphasis on “ What “ to learn , the schools need to educate children on “ How “ to learn thereby making them independent learners. They need to be given ample options to experiment on what they like and at the same time should be supported at school to achieve their best in whatever they choose. City Pride School strongly believes that every child is unique and we give them a platform for achieving his/ her best. Whether it is fashion designing or animation and gaming or learning classical dance and music; City Pride School gives opportunity to learn it systematically within school itself . Our Prime Minister's dream of “ Make in India “would be a reality when the budding scientist could put their head, heart and hand to innovate new products which are globally accepted. The various skill labs at the school exactly aim to achieve this.
The school has been taking hard efforts to develop the logical , analytical and quantitative skills of the children right from their primary school . The school curriculum is modified and integrated with the coaching of various competitive examination within the school. Through such an effort we ensure consistent development and promising performance. Year on year we have witnessed that children are doing exceedingly well in these exams. Today City Pride School is the first choice of PCMC residents for their kids. All the three branches of city pride school follow the same educational philosophy carrying the same legacy . We are sure in the years to come, the bright stars of City Pride School will contribute remarkably in the progress of our Country.
Thank you
