Message By Dr. Gururaj Karajagi

 The aim of education should be to teach us how to think than what to think, rather improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to lone the memory with thoughts of other men. Education would be much more effective if its purpose was to ensure that by the time they leave school ever,boy and girl should know how much they do not know, and be imbued with 0 lifelong desire to know it. What compels me is my grave concern about the pressures on students to achieve academically good scores. The push for higher test scores and the demand that all students exhibit high proficiency in reading, math, and science is sending reverberations throughout all levels of education, creating stressed-out 12th graders, violent 8th graders, attention deficit 5th graders and four-year-olds v.tho have had their childhoods stripped away from them. It cannot be allowed to go on as it is. It is time we returned to the great questions of human growth and learning: How can we help each child reach his or her potential? How can we inspire each child to discover his/her inner passion to learn? How can vie honor the unique journey of each individual through life?    

 Shri. S. M. Naragond International School, Harugeri with which the Academy for Creative Teaching has a very close and symbiotic relationship, has made a conscious choice of becoming a school that is not only different but the one that makes a difference. It would give the children the adventure of learning, the wonder of nature and culture, the richness of human experiences, and the delight-in acquiring new abilities. Shri. S. M. Naragond International School Harugeri would imbibe the spirit of creative teaching and learning while recognizes the physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual worlds of students. 

I wish the school a great and fantastic future.
