MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK
We feel grateful to the parents who have put their faith in us to educate their child and introduce them to the wonderful world around them. Our school is well equipped to prepare our children to face the challenges that the future holds and work at implementing a well-balanced curriculum. Even as we impart education to match the advancement in technology and globalization, we march our children ahead with ethos of moral values and principles. We endeavour constantly to instil these qualities in our children. We believe in a joyful experiential learning system wherein, each child is encouraged to participate wholeheartedly! At SSPS, we leave no stone unturned to offer multitudes of opportunities to our children; it is for them to make the most of it. We motivate the children to grab every opportunity that comes their way which would not only help in their holistic growth but also strengthen their belief in teamwork, which is important in this fast-paced world. There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots; the other, wings! At SSPS, each day that unfolds, is a wonder and a miracle! When we see our children engaged in multi-skilled activities, we often think: let us arouse their curiosity to discover the mystery of the world we live in!’ Aristotle once said that, "Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all".

SMARTshala group of institutions is an emerging and pioneering brand since 2014. Our institutions are centres of excellence, synonymous with quality education. These institutions aim to groom self-directed, confident learners, empowered with skills, knowledge and wisdom through well-rounded education. We aspire to transform lives and ignite in our students a passion for lifelong learning and the zeal to serve the society selflessly by unlocking their potential.
A woman of great foresight, our Founder Late Smt. Ritu Bansal had a vision to groom individuals using a holistic approach. Following the footsteps of our founder mother and driven by our ideology of unlocking the students’ potential by transforming their lives, we have stepped into the new sphere where in holistic development will be provided to pre-nursery and nursery students.
