Principal's Perspective
"Is life worth living?
Yes, so long as faith with freedom reigns,
And children are free to think and act, Life is worth living still."
These lines by Alfred Austin capture the very essence or the core
philosophy of Summer Fields School, Kailash Colony to create in
the school a congenial environment for the child to bloom, unfettered, filled with
boundless joy, armed with the magic word of wonder and imagination. Faith, freedom,
loyalty, independent thought and action - we help them believe in life, in values
and in truth, without imposing adult supervision or in any way tampering with the child's
individuality.
Summer Fields School environment creates a place for joyful learning. The insatiable
curiosity of the child's inquisitive mind is enriched with a lot of fun-filled activities,
carried out in a manner which bringsforth the interest and inner potential of each
child. It is with this objective in view that special weeks like 'Book Week', '
India week', 'Leadership week', 'Social & Civic Consciousness week' are conducted
and form an integral part of the teaching - learning process. Classroom activities
emphasize on 'learning by doing', be it puppet shows or rhyme time at the Pre-school
level or night camps, science projects in Class V. Value Education is imparted regularly
through story telling, interactive discussion and talks in class. The same is projected
regularly in assemblies conducted in the morning. Eminent personalities (whom the
children can look upto as role models) are invited, for this kind of exposure will
go a long way in shaping and developing the child's personality.
The mission of the school is to extract 'Excellence' and integrate knowledge and
learning into a continuing process. It is essential to combine scholastic achievements
with moral and physical skills essential for success, as also understanding the
importance of co-existence, co-operation and healthy competitions as individuals
and team players. With Summer Fields School being entered into the international
arena, visits by foreign delegates, exchange programme for students and teachers,
has become an integral part of the everyday school curriculum. Needless to say Summer
Fields School is preparing the future leaders of our society. We assist students
to explore individual talents; encourage them to work as a team and also to become
useful members of the world community. Undoubtedly, we are moulding our students
for the world 'beyond School'.
