ABOUT

GMVPS – An Institution With A Vision

GM VIDYANIKETAN PUBLIC SCHOOL had its humble beginning in 2005 under the banner of GM Education Trust. The School is affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education, Delhi. GMVPS is nestled in a beautiful campus at Harady, closer to Brahmavar in Udupi district. The school has an enchanting view with its well designed constructions. The serene surroundings with the vibrant green environs attract the attention of everyone who enters the portals of the campus. The entire campus and its neighbourhoods are free from all forms of pollution.

The desire to give back to the society something of what they gained from it has prompted the Trustees to launch this well-equipped school. Here, we give greater importance to the child in the whole process of education, which is, of course, called as child centered education. Gone are the days of subject centered and teacher centered education. In child centered education the child is considered as a child and not as a miniature adult. Hence, education is not to be guided by adult expectations and norms. The concept of student centered education is based on child’s interest, needs and capabilities.

We offer diverse co-curricular activities to our students which would enrich their multiple intelligences and boost their learning opportunities. The school climate is student friendly and very conducive to learning with its beautiful surroundings and excellent educational infrastructure. The school provides Co-education from Pre- Nursery to Class X.

Curriculum

The school is affiliated to the CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education, Delhi) and it follows the CBSE Syllabus. The medium of instruction is English. The national language and regional languages are given due importance.

The curriculum is formatted to impart knowledge, develop skills and foster attitudes essential for the growth of the student. This paves the way for a creative, yet constructive training for the individual.

Once in a month every class gets an opportunity to perform their talents before the whole section. The students present literary, cultural and recreational items with the guidance of the class teacher. It is not a competition but a win-win co-operative show exhibiting the talents of every student, individually as well as in groups. The inherent talents of children are recognized and appreciated by this programme. Children also develop their talents in different areas.
