The opportunity to educate children is a rare privilege, bringing with it a huge responsibility to provide the best all-round education possible as we aim to prepare young people for happiness and success in their adult lives. At Jindal Vidya Mandir we take this responsibility extremely seriously. We care about the individual and pride ourselves in the warmth of a community in which all our pupils feel valued.

“Never will wisdom preside in the halls of legislation and its profound utterances be recorded on the pages of the statute book, until Common Schools…. create a more far seeing intelligence and a purer morality than has ever yet existed among communities of man”. The fact is writ large in society where good school products make a significant mark by their performance and “an aristocracy of service, not of wealth, privilege or position”. But such unique and cherished characteristics of school students certainly indicate towards immense responsibility shouldered by the educational team which fosters leadership as a culture in the school much beyond curriculum and activities.

We live in exciting and fast changing times and this means that providing an outstanding, progressive and well-rounded education is more important than ever. Of course examination results matter and at Jindal Vidya Mandir our pupils consistently achieve excellent results in all areas of the curriculum, giving them access to the best colleges and Universities in India and overseas. However, this is just one aspect of JVM education and pupils are supported to show ambition both within and beyond the classroom.

School should be fun and happy children are more likely to be successful. We see it as our responsibility to bring out our student’ talents, to broaden their interests and to develop their personal qualities. To do this we aim to foster confidence, perseverance, tolerance and integrity; to enhance communication skills; to embrace creativity; to encourage teamwork; and to promote an open-minded and outward-looking mentality so that young citizenry are ready to make a really positive contribution to their wider community.

Tradition is important here and still shapes some of our guiding principles but we seek to build on the past while looking to the future. This is, and will remain, a forward-thinking school that enthusiastically embraces innovation and new opportunity.
