The aim of our schools is to promote a system of integral education in a congenial child-friendly environment that emphasises the unity of all knowledge, synthesises humanity and sciences and recognises the fact that each child is unique. We believe that education should enable the students to soar high morally, socially and spiritually. We believe that our students need to learn that the secret of success and contentment lies in discovering one’s own strengths as well as limitations. There is, therefore, every reason to place a renewed emphasis on the humanistic dimensions of education. enabling each person to grasp and appreciate the individuality of others and to discover one’s own self through an inner journey whose milestones are knowledge, introspection and humility. This should guide educational thinking in conjunction with other holistic objectives. At IPS schools, priority is also given to the teaching of critical thinking skills such as reasoning and problem solving, to help our students develop the ability to reach sound conclusions based on observation and information. Our school curricula also allow our teachers the flexibility to adopt innovative methods to stimulate interest and attention among the students and develop in them an appreciation for the values of the past, the excitement of the present and the challenges of the future.
