“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” ― Nelson Mandela

Education has always been a cornerstone of society, the pillar on which the bulwark of human existence rests, the leading light as mankind made his way in quest of the unknown. While the art and science of education may have undergone changes since the time of yore, every educationist strives to instil in every student a sense of virtue and wisdom, sensitivity to the needs of others, the skills, the attitudes and habits that would help them explore and excel, a quest for knowledge and the power of action. All of these would propel each one to an all important goal - Excellence.
 

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 dancer feet and the sound of melodious voices harmonizing the perpetual energy, movement and enthusiasm permeate the atmosphere at Pine Dale Public School. We are a school with a difference! We value individualism, creativity and innovation and strive to nurture them in our students.

Our motto “Strive for excellence” is at the heart of everything we do at the school. We aim to not just impart knowledge to the students, but also to inculcate in them - wisdom, compassion and a humanitarian spirit. We have a multi-cultural student population; hence we teach children the importance of tolerance and respecting each other’s culture. Discipline, values and integrity are the very foundation of this school

At Pine Dale Public School, it is our endeavour to delve deeper into the true purpose of education by giving our students, opportunities and an environment that is positive, inspiring, challenging and stimulating. We want each one of our students to follow their bliss, blaze new trails and open new doors. I am proud of the parents and teachers who care, nurture and reassure the children so that they grow into mature, sensitive and responsible citizens of the country.

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 from dance, art and singing 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 personality, the aim is to nurture the child into a self-confident individual.

Our mission is to continue to do what we have always done: develop this 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! As someone who has a wonderful opportunity to shape over 5000 brilliant minds each day , I assure that we will always remain the foremost temple of learning , where there are "equal opportunities to all so that they rise to their fullest potential".
