H.O.S Speaks Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of minds to think. - Albert Einstein Education is lifelong learning where intellectual growth must be blended with the creation of curiosity to seek new avenues and skills. As Head of School, I believe in a joyful teaching-learning process in which teachers serve as facilitators to awaken joy, create opportunities for engagement, and engage students in active learning. At Queen’s Carmel School, curriculum implementation is mindfully designed to hone independent research and critical thinking skills along with deep subject knowledge, thereby developing the skills of application that hold relevance to the current world situation. Everchanging situations in recent scenarios throughout the world have established the fact that "change is the only constant in life" and we have put our foot forward to develop an essential life skill of adaptation. The school's curriculum combines skill-based learning, work experiences, PSPE (personal, social, physical, and emotional development), and community outreach programmes to provide students with regular opportunities to analyse issues and propose solutions. Strong foundations through experiential learning and 21st century learning skills, often called the 4 C's: critical thinking, creative thinking, communicating, and collaborating, are aimed at grooming our students as confident and reflective ,ready for next qualifications and beyond. At the administrative level, the school employs a combination of directive and collaborative approaches to ensure the advancement of the school's standards in terms of academic excellence, discipline, safety, peaceful coexistence, creative expression, innovation, and aspiration among students and the teaching fraternity. Our scholastic and co-scholastic faculty are competent, passionate, and lead their subjects of expertise with excellence. Parental fraternity are equally important stakeholders and enjoy collaboration in terms of feedback, feedforwards, and parent-teacher meetings on a monthly basis. Your trust is our treasure. Our endeavour is to achieve the mission of education and learning at the highest level in a holistic manner. Every child is unique, and the interests, choices, and capabilities of each child are to be recognised and nurtured. The school holds the philosophy of an innovative and progressive approach to inspire learning in classrooms and beyond, grooming students as life-long learners. Sandhya Kumaria (Head Of School)
