‘Kindle the Light of Knowledge’, the motto set by our beloved Founder Principal Late Purnima Dasgupta to bring up an English medium school in 1968 is still burning with glory & valour after forty five years of team work by our efficient teaching staff and non-teaching staff who stood shoulder to shoulder to fight out all the problems that come in their way. We have come a long way yet we will have to travel further, yes as a horizon moves away, when we tend to reach it, the field of knowledge is as wide as the horizon. The more we move towards it, the more it widens unending and unexplored till the last day of our lives, the mystery of knowledge still remains. Team AGBHS cannot rest, we cannot part from travelling through the wide horizon of knowledge & imparting the same to the society at large. To quote Tennyson, we too believe “ Yet all experience is an arch wherethro’ Gleams that untravell’d world whose margin fades Forever and forever when I move. ”
The school Anthem written & composed by our Founder Principal also advocates her principal and ideas to ‘March Forward For The Knowledge’ & to fight out against illiteracy, thereby lending out our helping hands to the country. As I walk down the hallways of the school everyday, I can hear the chatter of eager minds, the shouts of excitement from the victorious athletes, the thump of dancers’ feet and the sound of melodious voices harmonizing. The perpetual energy, movement and enthusiasm permeate the atmosphere at Alipore Girls’ & Boys High School. We are a school with a difference! We value individualism, creativity and innovation and strive to nurture them in our students.
Besides rigorous scholastic programmes, we seek to develop and nurture the different facets of a child. The school encourages all students to participate in a variety of co-curricular activities to a variety of sports to social work to environmental conservation activities, (the list goes on). It is important for a child to explore and find their strengths in order to reach their true potential. Whether a child is an introvert or extrovert, the aim is to nurture the child into a self-confident individual. As a school we think about how to engage students and hold their attention. If a lesson is to be productive, how do we make sure the students actually absorb the topic? With this constant question in our mind we continuously upgrade our teaching tools and techniques as well as our academic programmes. In a technology prevalent world today, we appeal to young minds by incorporating smart boards, tablet computers and mobile devices into the teaching-learning process. Our mission is to continue to do what we have always done: develop the school and the students with integrity and values; also, to give our students the best opportunities and the best all-round education. Our vision is to produce conscientious, smart and confident citizens of India who will go out into the world and make us proud! We have come a long way yet we will have to travel further, yes as a horizon moves away, when we tend to reach it, the field of knowledge is as wide as the horizon. The more we move towards it, the more it widens unending and unexplored till the last day of our lives, the mystery of knowledge still remains.
