Vision, Aims and Objectives

Our vision is to offer every student the same quality of education offered by the most academically distinguished schools nationally so that our students are prepared to enter and thrive at the world’s finest colleges and universities.

Saraf Public School aims to be selective and foster academic excellence through comprehensive curricula, rigorous standards, and challenging assessments.

Saraf Public School’s aims are summarized as follows:

• To be committed to academic excellence, including an accelerated curriculum, opportunities for advanced-level courses for students who desire greater depth in a subject, and a focus on preparing the student for an optimum college or university admission.

• To focus on the individual student and inspire each student to do his or her best. This is to be facilitated by small classes, an “active learning” environment that combines hands-on experiences with learning by doing, and close relationships between our teachers and students.

• To develop each pupil’s interest in and enjoyment of a broad range of activities including sport, music, art, drama, outdoor pursuits, and service to the society, providing opportunities for developing each pupil’s skill and knowledge in these areas.

• To develop extra-curricular activities, which both in quantity and quality lastingly develop personality, achievement and skills. To integrate visual arts, performing arts and athletics with both – academic programs and extracurricular activities.

• To provide a safe, friendly and supportive environment in which each pupil can feel he/she is valued as an individual and where he/she learns that his/her own attitude to others is fundamental to the success of this aim.

• To be a school where pupils from a variety of backgrounds feel equal and at home and where their social and academic needs are met in an atmosphere of mutual respect and support.

• To help all pupils to recognise the value of the commitments they make to those around them, as well as to their own studies, not least so that they can understand their lasting responsibility to the wider community. In doing this, the school seeks also to prepare pupils socially, morally and philosophically for life in a wider sense, stretching chronologically as well as geographically beyond the confines of school.
