About Agra Public School

That the present education system is hardly adequate to equip the students to face the challenges of a fast changing modern world is an undeniable fact.

We, the members of Agra Public Educational Society are convinced that radical changes have to be effected in the teaching methodology and course contents so that the system of education is not merely information based but value oriented formulated to bring about transformation and maturity in the personality of the students. However, ushering a new paradigm in education is an uphill task that requires the teachers’ active co-operation and understanding of administrators alike.

We have placed as the first step our humble endeavor to rejuvenate the existing education system by integrating the most relevant and meaningful features of the ancient Gurukula with the best of the scientifically designed modern systems enlivened by psychological and educational research

Our Mission

To identify the flower in the bud, to recognize the potential of each child, to appreciate specific and individual requirement, and to respond to it with passion and sensitivity - this is the mission of APS group of Education.

We embark on the mission of creating individuals who are confident about their potential, diligent to work towards their goal, sensitive to their environment and above all co-creators of their own destiny.

Our constant endeavour is to enable each child to identify and empathise with the society he belongs to and contribute to it in his own little way.

Our aim is to facilitate a child's self-exploration journey as he assumes the role of an individual, a social being and a global citizen.

Our Endeavor

To develop in our children a love for learning. To develop a love in our children for learning.

To develop well rounded personalities who would be confident, creative and be able to adjust and adapt to any circumstances of environment.

To lead by example and be good role models so that our children imbibe our qualities.

To create an environment that would be conducive to learning, a place where children are happy to be, a place they take pride in, a place they love and cherish.

School Life

Right from the time students get up in the morning to the time they retire to bed, the youngsters are always on their toes, lively and energetic.

The morning hours are spent in the dormitories studying. The dorm master and dorm mistresses help in supervision and assist the students in their respective subjects of study.

The dorm masters and dorm mistresses also help the matron in accounting for the work at the end of the month, counseling and monitoring the progress of the children. Studies aside, the children also contribute to the work in the dormitories lending a helping hand inside and outside the dormitories. Making the beds, tidying up tables, folding blankets are just but three of the tasks that the children get involved in though they are not required to, their contribution to the home chores.

To inculcate a sense of responsibility, the students are assigned from time to time small tasks such as keeping cleanliness, discipline, punctuality and care of laundry work. Outstanding students are rewarded for their contribution. They are well trained in their roles that even without the matron, they can manage the whole show on their own.

Doritorym

The students are accommodated in beautiful dormitories. In a sharp departure from the normal concept of dormitory where a group of children are lumped in a huge hall, only FOUR children are placed in the rooms, which have attached toilet facilities.

We at APS believe that dormitories are not just residential quarters but homes for the children. With a recreation hall and a lounge, the facilities provided in the school far exceed the standards of an international school.

There are separate dormitories for boys and girls, each of them maintained by a Matron and Dorm Master. The sanitary blocks are clean, well maintained and have 24 -hour supply of hot and cold water.

The School’s Dress Code

The purpose of a dress code is to help maintain an atmosphere conducive to learning, teaching and prevent unnecessary distractions on campus. Students of the school are expected to be well groomed and neatly dressed at all times.

Counseling

The students and staff at APS enjoy an excellent rapport. This relationship is both healthy and mutually rewarding and has proved to be beneficial in terms of understanding the children’s needs and offering solutions. The mentor scheme, a unique system as in the ancient ‘gurukalas’ helps the teachers to monitor, record and stimulate the performance and progress of the students.

The school has further enlisted the services of professional counselors, resident and guest counselor to supplement their efforts in a professional way. Suffice it to say that the student's problems are treated with confidentiality.

Special Events

Co curricular activities are as important as academics in molding the all-round personality of the students. APS offers plenty of opportunities in this area. Every festival is celebrated in a grand manner to drive home the significance of these celebrations.
