“Education is not a preparation for life, education is life itself”  John Dewey

School education is undergoing sweeping changes keeping pace with the rapid progress in information technology. Education is no longer merely providing knowledge or information on any subject. We do
not limit our teaching to the four walls of the classrooms. A holistic view of education leads children to develop an open-minded perspective on life.

We equip our students with 21st-century skills so that they are able to face the challenges of real life.
We also introduce 21st-century innovative teaching methods such as integrated teaching, thematic
learning, problem-based learning, STEM education, experiential learning, etc. Students who learn
through such interactive methods think analytically at a higher level and independently solve the
problems in their daily life. It is worth remembering the famous maxim, “If you give me a fish, I shall
eat for a day. If you teach me to fish, I shall eat for a lifetime.”

Student-centred learning is given great importance in our teaching process. Students get opportunities to
conduct research and present their assignments and projects. We train our students to become
independent thinkers to find pragmatic solutions to problems. Here, the teacher takes the role of a
facilitator and mentor, never giving readymade answers to their students. Teaching as a spoon-feeding
process would only hamper the development of a child. Rabindranath Tagore said, said, “Child is not a
vessel to be filled in, but a lamp to be lighted.”

Our management has been very generous in providing excellent facilities for the all-round development
of our students. The campus is nestled on a hillock far from the milling crowd and free from the hustle
and bustle of the city. The serene surroundings and vibrant green environs provide a soothing touch to
tender hearts throughout the day. GMVPS campus is truly a home away from home. We invite all our
young learners to be partakers of this exciting journey of learning with fun and frolic free from all forms
of fear.
