Principal's Message

Jesus says, “My grace is all you need, for my power is greatest when you are weak.”
(Holy Bible, 2 Cor.12/9)

Dear students and parents / Guardians of Chavara Vidhya Bhavan,
A Warm and Hearty welcome to this abode of Knowledge. “Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today” says Malcolm X.

Education is a life-long learning process. Learning happens all the time; not only in a pre-designated place called the school. It happens in the home, between home and school too. The home’s and school’s mission therefore is to provide a learning environment and opportunities to the children as the learners.

Shaping young, impressionable minds is one of life’s biggest challenges. At Chavara Vidhya Bhavan Hr. Sec. School, Mandideep, we aim to empower our students to be morally sound, to respect all the religions, to grow as individuals with strong open discerning minds with an international perspective, preparing them to make a mark in the global village - the world has come to be today. We also aim to inculcate in our students the Gospel Values of Love, Truth, Peace and Joy. Our distinctive academic programmes and innovative teaching methodologies from the experienced mentors encourage students to develop critical-thinking and learn through enquiry and reason, to exchange thoughts and ideas, to develop key personal and social values, to take ownership for his/ her choices and to set goals to realize their own unique potential.

Authentic education implies an on-going, continuous interplay between the five moments of context, experience, reflection, action and evaluation between parents, students and teachers. This is not to lead to mere information but to appropriation, integration into the very activity of Almighty within the created reality of our world but especially within each person. This then leads from information to transformation. The Chavara Family strives to deepen a sense of wonder, reverence, creativity, fidelity, communication, openness and charity to marginalised, each other and to the whole world. We strive to provide an environment that is basically Sacred, and has a framework of discipline that is flexible yet supportive, a freedom that allows students to learn even from their mistakes, to develop into person moulded by the correlatives of freedom and responsibility. We want each of our students to leave school with the values of respect, cooperation, persistence and striving for excellence underpinning all that they do. Parents play a vital role in the overall development of the child. The foundation of a successful school is the cooperation between the students, staff and parents. Parents are the most strengthening power in moulding the future of children. Their consistent support empowers us to do more and more. I pay my gratitude to them for their faith in us.

Let us dream big, fly high, be responsible and committed citizens of our Mother Land. Together we can change the world, let us be united and strive to do the best we can for this Chavara Family, the nation and the world at large.

In conclusion, I wish you all a very wonderful and a gainful school year
