Both Mr Yudister Kumar
and Mrs Rajni Kumar shared the same progressive egalitarian
viewpoint and International outlook as other founder members of the
school, and this gave expression to the schools' ethos and
philosophy.
Vision of Education
At Springdales, education
is looked upon as a holistic learning experience, helping each
child to develop those attributes and qualities of heart, head
and hand which will make him/her a self-reliant citizen and
a fine human being, socially aware and humanistic, compassionate
and kind, having pride in his country and belief in the concept
of international brotherhood and peace, a person ready to work
as an agency of change for building a more socially just and
equitable society.
Logo and Motto
The ethos of the school
is deeply embedded in its motto "Vasudaiva Kutumbakam'.' which
means, "The world is a family:" It is a concept that deeply
influences in greater or lesser degree, the thought process,
the value system, and the way of life of its pupils - past and
present, as they look upon the school, the community, the neighbourhood,
the nation, and the world, as a part of the whole family of
mankind.
International Understanding
The concept of
international understanding and friendship among the children of the
world was born almost with Springdales itself. The motto of the
school and allied activities are ample proof of it. The school has
been an associate member of the UNESCO scheme for Education for
International Understanding since the sixties. It has interwoven
into the curriculum, the study of relevant topics, exhibitions and
projects.
There are many ways in which the ethos and
philosophy promoted, through various activities in the school as
well as school-to-school exchange programmes.
