“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” Aristotle We live today in a world that is so very different from the one we grew up in, the one we were educated in. The world today is changing at such an accelerated rate and we as educators need to pause and reflect on this entire system of Education. Are our schools well equipped to prepare our children to face the challenges that the future holds? Questions such as these are factors that motivate us to go through a continuous process of reflection and hence we at DAV work at implementing a well balanced curriculum to ensure that the children who walk into the portals of our Schools will not just love their school years but truly be prepared to face life’s challenges. We strive to develop the four key attributes of a student-centric, Values-based education at DAV, Every Student, an Engaged Learner Every Teacher, a Caring Educator Every Parent, a Supportive Partner Every School, a Good School The School is a place where children are encouraged to say "I see it, I get it, I can do it." Our philosophy of education has always been meeting the needs of the individual child. Children acquire skills and knowledge easily if we can make the surrounding stimulating and purposeful. In the 21st century, the Digital Revolution affects us all. Quite simply, it is changing everything: a brilliant barrage of information, entertainment, companionship and education is speedily available. In such a surrounding when work and effort is valued, the child's self -esteem is heightened, and from this results self-motivation. We try to understand and work with each child, and we firmly believe that it is our responsibility to enable the child in our care to develop as a whole. Dear students, it is my message to you all that the people of fine character live by their values. They are honest and are committed to truthfulness in thoughts, word and deed. True character thus encompasses the capacity for self discipline. Character creates self respect, which in turn leads to high self esteem. Maturity is refeclected in all aspects of character- the decisions we make, the friends we choose and the responsibilities we accept. Always remember to uphold the dignity of people. Be always ready to give preference to other. What you are is god’s gift to you. What you become is your gift to god. Bring out the best in you. “WITH WARM WISHES AND GOD’S BLESSINGS”.
