Education is a broad term understood by people in different ways. My understanding about Education is how you give back to the society after all that you have learned in school. How one reacts to a tough situation in life, and takes optimistic decisions is what education is for me. Education never ends. You can keep learning all your life on different aspects which will keep helping in making your life beautiful. The ultimate goal is to be happy and to spread positivity regardless the field of work you end up with.

At St. Andrew's school, we bring forth a true education where the children not only learn, but learn how to learn. We impart an atmosphere to our students for multifaceted development, where children are encouraged to channelize their potential in the pursuit of excellence. While academic excellence is our major thrust, the school is also devoted to prepare the students for life, groom them to face the challenges of tomorrow, and encourage them to be socially relevant. We constantly endeavor to always live up to this ideology and inculcate this into everything we do, with the aim that we will be able to ensure that the children grow to their full potential, while constantly being groomed to pass out as men and women competent to bear responsibility in all walks of life. The parents are the most strengthening power in molding the future of children. Their consistent support empowers us to do more and more. I pay my gratitude to them for their faith in us. I am confident enough that the sams will make themselves stronger day by day, adding a new leaf to the grandeur of the school.

It’s our pleasure to have you in this St. Andrew's school and it is in your hands to make yourself a treasure to the school. Try to excel in whatever you do always remembering that there is scope for continuous improvement. Inculcate in yourselves the spirit to lead a planned life and the habit of doing things regularly. Don’t leave any work for tomorrow. You must inculcate the habit of maintaining diary. It is therefore you must place on record day-wise activities like the projects, assignments etc., you undergo in the school. You should bring the diary every day and note down the instructions given by teachers. Also keep your diary neat and tidy. This school intents to provide you maximum opportunities for all sorts of activities possible during and after school hours. Make use of all such programmes. The Future belongs to you dear children. So allowing admissible time for sports and co-curricular activities concentrate in your studies. Let us achieve greater success by putting all these into practice. Utilize fruitfully and get lifted. I pray the Almighty to Shower all His blessings on you.

A child is a unique gift of God to humanity with a bundle of talents hidden inside. A teacher as a mentor, nurturer, healer and an inspirer polishes the various talents and virtues of the child to make him or her, a responsible citizen of the society. Children are the future of the nation. So they should be taught the right values in life to develop the feeling of brotherhood and nationalism. I always ask myself, "What should be the first priority in a student's life ?" The answer which I find is nothing but 'time'. There are many factors which are responsible for one's success, but 'time' stands high above all. A student's success depends on how meticulously he or she plans the little time at his or her disposal to complete the plan of studies. Hundred percent devotion within a stipulated timelimit results in success. Success however, should always be combined with strong moral and ethical values. The focus should lie in preparing students to think reflectively and develop their own enhanced capacity for ethical reasoning with a correct code of conduct. This will develop good moral judgement in students and it will help to promote social values both within the classroom and beyond. Money can never buy what I have wished for my students So, let education be an all-round development with social, ethical and moral values inculcated in teaching. Let the students be a part of whatever noble we do and our good teachings would still be around, long after we have gone, making our country a 'dream-country' for all. All the best for the future ...........
