Synthesis of Complimentarities of Character & Coping up with Conflicting Circumstances
Spirituality replete with Divine Devotion & States(wo)manship smeared with Arrogance tinged Anger and Ruthlessness
In the institution, rage and ruthlessness are not encouraged behaviors. The practice of spirituality and devotion to the holy are essential components. The institution's mission, which is ingrained in its own DNA, is women's empowerment. The emphasis is on instilling principles and assertiveness in the kids.
Exercise of Intellect & Courage in Professional World vis-a-vis Sublimely Foresaking talents for the greater benefit of raising family
There is no denying that raising a family requires a significant amount of time, energy, and resources. It is a full-time job that demands unwavering attention and dedication. When we have children, we must often make sacrifices, both big and small, to ensure their well-being and happiness. This may mean putting our professional goals on hold or making compromises in our career to prioritize our family. But, our school provides enough support to ensure that neither aspects take a backseat.
Toughness of Courage & Softness of Compassion
Going above and above to complete a task is an act of courage. It, however, has no bearing on the sympathetic disposition of our teachers. Only in an ideal atmosphere is this equilibrium achieved.
Hardwork & Humility
The teacher’s heart is sensitive, able to empathize, and able to transmit love and optimism despite the exterior's seeming toughness.
Austerity vis-a-vis Astuteness
The institution is renowned not just in Gurgaon, but all over the world, as one of the leading institutes. This would not be possible without all the females heading the school in positions of responsibilities. Even as a man, filling this form, I feel a sense of relief and pride that our institute promotes women in every sphere.
Existence Distilled in the depths of Mind & Heart vis-a-vis Flaunting the Freedom of the ORDINARY
Everyone needs freedom to be truly happy. Being a part of this venerable organization comes with many advantages, including a warm and welcoming work environment.
Balancing out of Rights and Responsibilities in the Context of variegated Socio-Professional Roles
Everyone practices this balancing act since our Principle sets a good example. He remains composed in all circumstances and even during difficult times.
Handling Conflicts, Struggles, Challenges, Doubts with Elegance & Style living life with Truth, Beauty, Courage and Divinity
PTA meetings are chaired by our School Chairman. PTMs are held regularly with a focus on improving the performance of our students. Suggestion box is placed at different locations in the school.
Ability to face CRISIS
On a monthly basis, workshops and life skills training sessions focused on empowering everyone—including girls and female staff—are held. Moreover, workshops for POCSO and Anti-bullying are also held. The school counselor also engages with students at regular intervals, both individually and collectively.
Unshakable FAITH
We have faith in our organization as it helps us achieve the best version of ourselves.
Invincible POWER from within
We are a family, united in our aim to help and empower our students.
Firm ANCHORINGS for the FULFILLMENT of highest ASPIRATIONS
Coordinator and HOD Meetings are held with the staff members.

Never say DIE SPIRIT
This spirit trickles down from our School Chairman who teaches us that giving up is never an option.
Ability to COPE with CONFLICTING CIRCUMSTANCES
Aiming towards perfection while taking into account the interests of all parties involved. The secret to resolving contentious situations is inclusivity and conversation.
Being the TORCHBEARER of LEADERSHIP & SELF-MASTERY in the Context of Classical Spiritual Wisdom
We look up to our school chairman to be our guiding light and front runner in all aspects of life.
Inducing Sustainable Empowerment beyond the Reflections of Dress Codes; Job Titles; Salary et al
There is no difference in pay based on job titles, dress codes, or salaries. In fact, it is believed that women are more deserving of such positions.
Accepting Equanimity of Stature & Notion of Success between a Sari Clad Mother; School Girl and a Corporate Businesswoman
In that as well, our institute is a leader. Its impartial standing and equal opportunities are attested to by both graduates and students.
Appreciating the Integral Mental, Emotional & Spiritual Journey independent of both COMMON & NOTABLE ROLES
Appreciation and facilitation of achievers are essential in any organization or community. Recognizing and rewarding the efforts and accomplishments of individuals not only boosts their morale but also motivates others to strive for excellence.These are positive trends that reflect the growing recognition of the capabilities and potential of girls and women.
Winning over the NEGATIVE Portrayal of STREE SHAKTI being superstitious, conservative, veiled, self-centered
In the past, gender biases and stereotypes often limited girls' opportunities to participate in leadership roles, sports, and administrative positions. However, these trends suggest that society is becoming more inclusive and diverse, recognizing the importance of gender equity and representation in all spheres of life and we strive to achieve equality in every sense.
