EVERY STRING of a guitar needs to be tuned to produce melody. A single string can break the harmony. At A. K. Ghosh Memorial School, the students, the staff and the management work in perfect tune.
The sincerity and dedication of the staff, unquestioned obedience of the pupils and school administration's guidance have helped live up to the aspirations of the school.
A child's mind is like a lump of clay; you can mould it the way you like.
Being the principal of the kindergarten and the primary section, I take care of students of 2 and 11 years, an age when we need to implant in them the qualities of a complete individual.
We try to train children not only to be smart and outgoing, but also grow up to be progressive and righteous individuals.
Nowadays most schools burden children with an overdose of work. Here, we try to reduce the workload with limited home assignments.
For the all round development of their personality, we lay emphasis on extra-curricular activities including sports, quiz and exhibitions. Our school also ensures computer literacy for students from the age of two. Though it's too early for us to teach them the functions, it helps them to get familiar with the basics.
Teachers are also re-oriented from time to time in order to keep pace with the latest teaching methods. We send teachers to various workshops and programmes conducted by educational experts of the city.
Our free-school section held after sundown, is an integral part of the main school. Underprivileged children are provided with books, stationery, uniforms and food and get the same attention and facilities as students in the main section.
