Developing Noble Leaders
Our Educators
Our Educators are not only certified and professional teachers, they are also fully aware of our student's growth potential and are mindfully committed to our students success.
Our teachers also understand that each and every student
1. is a brimming vessel, always making room for more knowledge
Aano bhadraha krithavo yanthu vishwathaha
2. They will be a step ahead not just in one direction, but a leader in every room they walk into
Vidhwathwam cha nripathwam cha naiva tulyam kadachana
swadeshe pujyathe raja vidhwaan sarvathra poojyathe
3. Because they will lead not by walking alone, but by taking everyone along,
san gacchadhvam sam vadadhvam sam vo manamsi janatam/
We Come together, Speak together, and let our minds be all of one accord
samani va akuti: samana hrdayani vah/
samanamastu vo mano yatha va: susahasati//
Let our aim be one and single! Let our hearts be joined as one.
United be our thoughts. At peace with all, may we be together in harmony.
