Special Edition APEEJAY SCHOOL, FARIDABAD

Perfection is not attainable… but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.

FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK

DR. PARUL TYAGI

MRS. SUSHMA PAUL BERLIA Co-Promoter & President,

Apeejay Stya and Svran Group Chairman, Apeejay Education

Co-Founder & Chancellor, Apeejay Stya University

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Let us think of education as the means of developing our

greatest abilities, because in each of us there are individual

hopes and dreams which, fulfilled, can be transformed for

everyone's wellbeing and greater strength for our nation.

Apeejay School Faridabad, since its inception in 1972 has earned its own niche, establishing itself as a premier institution of the city. Today we have carved a niche for ourselves by emerging as a seat of learning where values and aspirations go hand-in-hand and where innovation is subtly incorporated with the traditional.

Our enriching learning programmes encourage collaborative learning, positive relationships and building capacity amongst our students to effectively allow them to engage in the world of the future, where problem solving, critical thinking, communicating, creating and innovating are not only valued concepts, but skills and attributes one develops in the process. At Apeejay, the focus lies in creating a progressive culture where each child matters. Our efforts are to make education a complete experience with students working towards academic excellence and also involving themselves in different school programs and Beyond–the-Boundaries community service projects with enthusiasm. We believe the inseparable, intertwining worlds of home, school, and society play a crucial role in moulding a child academically, aesthetically, socially, and emotionally. Working together, they make a positive difference. “The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.”— Denis Waitley Let our strong partnership foster greater success for our children founded on pillars of honesty, compassion, accountability, initiative and commitment.

Dr. Parul Tyagi

Education is the process of facilitating learning- the acquisition of knowledge,

skills, values, morals, beliefs, and habits that make a complete man. Through the

years, the Apeejay institutions have come to be recognised as symbols of

educational excellence, where academic excellence blends with all hues of human

values, lending to Apeejayites a distinctive individuality. Appreciative of individual differences, we endeavour to create a culture of high expectations and aspirations that exemplifies the Apeejay spirit of ‘Soaring High'. To this end, our focus is directed towards integrating the 4 Rs of Learning in our school programmes-

• Resilience that teaches one to persevere despite hurdles and challenges. • Reflectiveness that teaches one to review and redesign pathways to build on experiences. • Reciprocity that teaches collaboration and giving back to society as one learns with and from others. • Resourcefulness that encourages incorporating principles of design think, research and curiosity to articulate

novelty and accuracy in one’s thoughts and expressions. In a knowledge-based and information-oriented environment, our broad and balanced curriculum supported with a variety of instructional techniques and challenging learning experiences in a conducive environment ensures cognitive progress, social & behavioral discipline, and moral integrity of our students leading to cultivating a range of skills and interests. In this journey of discovery and exploration, we endeavour to establish a culture, the crucial cornerstones of which are personal expression, self-esteem, decision making, and team work, enabling the children to reach their full potential through inquiry, curiosity, perseverance and passion, making learning a joyful process. Our dedicated teams of teachers, mindful of students' different needs and abilities work towards teaching them to think intensively and to think critically. Nurturing intelligence and character, they encourage students to constantly work towards becoming the `grandest version of themselves’. This ethos is personified by the inspirational success stories of countless alumni, who have made a mark for themselves across the globe, making a difference with their efforts as responsive and responsible citizens. As we continue in our efforts to work towards strengthening our foundation of academic excellence, let us together, uphold and reflect in our day to day conduct, the intrinsic values as integrity, honesty, compassion that distinguish our institutions, as a seat of academic and human excellence. With best wishes for a successful year ahead!
