Dear Students and Parents,
“Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow”.
Anthony J. D'Angelo.
SVKM International School is a proud mission driven community providing a world class education, celebrating the fact that each student is different, as a person and as a learner. We believe that powerful learning and teaching occurs under a shared spirit of respect which creates a passionate schooling experience recognized for its warmth, energy and excellence. Here people are valued and can fulfill their potential both as teachers and learners. We offer the IB Diploma curriculum which is a balanced course nurturing the child to develop as a whole individual.
Originally developed in 1968 to provide a common curriculum and a university entry credential for geographically mobile students, the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) is now taught world-wide. Valued by universities around the world, the programme offers an education designed to stimulate the intellectual curiosity of each child.
We foster a positive spirit and believe in partnership between students, parents, teachers and support staff striving to create a milieu that sustains excellence. Our distinction lies in the pursuit of high academic attainment through support, encouragement, praise and motivation.
"I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think"-Socrates. Open mindedness, a multicultural orientation, independence, a global outlook, multiple intelligences and abilities – these are the premium qualities needed today. As a 21st century organization, the school desires to set an approach to learning that incorporates inquiry, research, analytical thinking and an ethical approach that becomes a lifetime habit. The students are helped to focus on confidence building, while nurturing a strong sense of social and environmental responsibility through academic and co-curricular activities as we believe, like Paul “Bear” Bryant that, “It is not the will to win, but the will to prepare to win that makes the difference”.
I strongly believe that education is a collaborative effort that involves professional administrators, committed teachers and motivated students. We dedicate ourselves as professional administrators in creating a dynamic education programme empowering the students in a global perspective.
We are a group of diverse experiences and outlooks, committed to excellence in preparing learners for enriched opportunities worldwide. In short, learning at SVKM is a wholesome package of attitude, challenge and opportunity.
