OUR VISION

For us at the Swami Uma Bharti Public School, education is not merely the acquisition of knowledge and skills required to prepare one for life. Rather it is the entire process of living and engaging with life, of experiencing its uniqueness, diversity and inter-connectedness, of being moved by beauty, of asking thought-provoking questions, of the search for answers and the fearless urge to bring about change when required.

 

While academic excellence is absolutely necessary, we believe that a complete education should include more than that. Surely, it should be a process in which both the teacher and the taught explore not only the outer world, but also their own thinking and behaviour and learn to live and enjoy life to its fullest.

 

Providing our children with an education of such meaning and value however implies that we must rise to the challenge of designing for them a truly holistic learning process imbued with the very same diversity, wholeness and authenticity of life itself. For a child’s desire to learn, we know is innate and limitless. The only boundary then, is a lack of suitable opportunity.

 

It is the recognition of this imperative that has inspired our team to open up the doors of the traditionally isolated school site and pioneer the warm, open and inviting space of a community school.

A school where…

     …children are encouraged to grow without fear by building relationships of  strength and support            with their friends and peers, rather than being forcibly pitted against them.

     …the home, school and community environments are closely knit together to help each child feel           safe, special and secure.

     …teachers work not alone, but reach out and actively partner with parents, family members,                     storytellers, artistes and nutritionists.

     …there is never only one way to learn and open doors bring learning opportunities that are varied           and rich.

     …learning never comes to an end and each living moment is an exciting opportunity to learn.

 

A school that is not just a school, but a nurturing community of life-long learners who live and learn together, seeking strength and support, with and from each other.

 

A ‘Living Curriculum’

The SUBPS curriculum is designed as an interactive, innovative and flexible plan for progress. Optimally balancing the findings of pedagogical research with the imperatives emerging from our vision, mission and core beliefs, it is structured in accordance with the following key objectives and pathways to learning.

 

Our Objectives

-- Individualized attention for each child

-- A focus on holistic or all-round development

-- A contextualized life-skills approach

-- A lifelong commitment to ‘learning to learn’

-- Value-based education

 

Differentiated Instruction and the Multiple Intelligences Theory

At the Swami Uma Bharti Public School, we recognize that all children learn in their own unique ways, and that these differences are based on varied factors such as their readiness to learn, interests, and learning profile.                                            

At SUBPS, our Differentiated Instruction methods and strategies, both incorporate and go beyond Multiple Intelligence insights to help each child become more aware of his/her leanings, preferences for learning and areas of strength.

​

Collaborative Learning

Once children learn to appreciate their own strengths and differences, collaborative learning methods help them put their knowledge and skills together to work towards common goals. They go beyond merely sitting together at group tables, to imbibing a genuine sense of joint responsibility and accountability – all for one and one for all! The team spirit thus evoked teaches them the valuable lesson that in order to be true winners in life, it is far more important to have faith in and draw strength from one’s peers than try to defeat them.

Integrated Project Based Learning

 

Once children learn to work together, it becomes easy for them to use their combined strengths to actually address and resolve issues of real-world significance. They become better able to make things happen. Integrated Project Based study enables them to bring together diverse perspectives in addition to the purely theoretical, for e.g. the feasible, logistical, political, cultural and comparative, as they attempt to address problems that have no easy answers – for example, global warming or the saving of endangered species. Practiced through thematic methods and interdisciplinary research based approaches, it encourages children to transcend narrow theoretical boundaries and develop an authentic, all-round framework.
