Walsingham House School commits itself to creating a harmonious and stimulating environment in which students are encouraged to think critically and achieve their maximum potential in terms of skills, knowledge and understanding. Through a rigorous, value oriented, curricular and extra-curricular programme, a sense of inquiry is instilled, which promotes lifelong learning. We train our girls to become socially aware citizens and future leaders of the world.
Faculty and staff
Our qualified faculty members take special care to constantly reinvent their class work, develop teaching aids and foster an open minded attitude to enhance learning. While our student-teacher ratio in Kindergarten is 30:2 and approximately 40:1 at the higher levels, the School and its faculty realize that personalized attention is of utmost importance. We conduct proficiency classes in groups of 10 for students that might require extra help after School hours. Our faculty is involved in pedagogical research and use international standards of teaching within the classroom. Thanks to our dedicated teaching staff, Walsingham functions as a family. The nurturing attitude of our teachers is what sets them apart. In keeping with our motto, In Felicitate Laboramus, which means in happiness we work, we expect all students to enjoy the educational experience with us and grow into fine young ladies.
Values
While academics are important, inculcating the right values in children is equally imperative. We believe that humility, respect, honesty, tolerance and etiquette are all virtues of a holistic education. In accordance with these principles, Walsingham offers subjects like Moral Science where students are encouraged to value the knowledge that they receive. We take pride in our ability to train young girls to become polished, well groomed, responsible adults.
Leadership
In keeping with our mission, Walsingham prepares its students to take on responsibility, in various capacities, from an early age. This is achieved by providing leadership roles inside and outside the classroom. Through the House system, pupils engage themselves in extra-curricular activities, where healthy competition and a sense of pride and identity within the School are developed. Based on dedication towards their House and prior all round performance, Office Bearers (Prefects and Captains) are selected from Std. IX. These young leaders represent the voice of the student body and are consulted during most decision making processes. In this manner the School attempts to bring out the hidden leader in all its students
