In keeping with our school motto 'Vasudhev Kutumbakam' -The world is a family, Springdales School constantly strives to inculcate an understanding of social concerns and promote the spirit of social service in students to help make a difference in someone else's life. At Springdales, we practice what we teach. The ethos of the school is deeply embedded in its curriculum and influences the thought processes and the value system of its pupils and staff. Springdalian education raises consciousness about existing inequalities and contributes to changing attitudes, mindset and taking action that helps in reducing inequalities and create opportunities for the less privileged. Such holistic learning makes them self-reliant, socially aware, compassionate individuals who take pride in their country and are ready to build a socially just and equitable society through extensive work done for the underprivileged. Our Community Service and Social work date back the school's inception in 1955. The school culture embraces all stake holders: the management, faculty, parents, students, helping staff and Old Springdalians so that they are aware, sensitive, empowered and giving. It weaves them together to participate in many Springdalian ritualistic community service initiatives.
Known for its best Inclusive practices for Children with Special Needs, our school is a supportive, caring learning community in which every student feels accepted. All CWSNs are part of mainstream classrooms throughout the day with their specific learning needs being catered at the Learning Centre with support from our special educators for curriculum and skill-based enhancements. Our CWSNs have always achieved high results in the CBSE board exams which are a testimony to our work. Below is our multifaceted extensive community service projects undertaken by our faculty and students with visuals: |
