VDM School firmly stands and vows to stand by its vision of ‘Providing Value Based Education To The Masses.’, along with its simple yet powerful mission of being able to ‘Provide quality education to every child, empowering them to become successful leaders and confident global citizens with strong cultural values’.
Our Values
V.D.M School is one of the best schools in Khopoli that endeavors to create an ecosystem where our students, teachers, parents, principal and management contribute in both thought and action in the pursuit of self-discovery and self-learning. The core objective is to implant scientific spirit in young minds, gearing their entrepreneurial qualities so that they can grow up into ethical civilians.
We believe in inculcating in our students the fundamental values of RESPECT and treating everyone courteously, regardless of their background or religious views.
INTEGRITY is another core value that we emphasize in our students at all times. We teach them stay on right path and only do what is right even when no one is watching.
One of our guiding principles is COMPASSION, which we think is crucial in building a harmonious and better society as we treat with the less fortunate ones with care and empathy.
We also place a high priority on students accepting RESPONSIBILITY for their actions and actively participate in community events and make constructive contribution to society.
Another key characteristic we impart to our students is PERSEVERANCE where we encourage our students to establish goals, work hard, and never give up on their objective to success.
We support and encourage DIVERSITY for all our students, employees, and community members come from different origins, ethnicities, and viewpoints that we must support, value and respect.
We work towards instilling a sense of COMMUNITY SERVICE in our students by coaxing them to actively participate in volunteer activities and give back to the community. Our school regularly organizes community service projects to teach our students the value of helping others and making a positive impact.
The Chairman's Thoughts
Due to the limited availability of information resources, it has become increasingly important for the next generation to explore and apply their knowledge with enthusiasm. To stay competitive in today’s world, individuals must work hard to achieve their goals. However, this can often lead to a focus on memorization rather than true understanding, resulting in a decline in the overall quality of education.
To maintain the high standards of education that are necessary in today’s world, it is imperative to adopt a more practical approach to teaching. By doing so, students can gain a better understanding of the subject matter and apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios. It is important to recognize that education is not limited to the study of Science and Mathematics, but also includes other areas such as Music, Sports, and Arts.
At V.D.M. School, we are committed to discovering, nurturing, and encouraging the hidden talents of our students. We are grateful for the support of our management body, teachers, parents, and well-wishers who share in our mission of providing value-based education to the masses. Our aim is to make education more meaningful and impactful for the next generation.
