SARDAR PATEL VIDYALAYA | Lodhi Estate, Delhi

About School

Inspired by the ideals of Sardar Patel, the Gujarat Education Society established, in 1958, Sardar Patel Vidyalaya to meet the diverse educational needs of the Capital of independent India.The Gujarat Education Society which established the Vidyalaya manages the Vidyalaya through elected representatives in the Governing Body. The Governing Body lays down the direction, the policies and the guidelines for the Vidyalaya and monitors its performance on an on going basis.At the Vidyalaya, we believe that young people grow and learn through experiences. Out of experience come certain general guides to behaviour. These guidelines give direction to our lives and may be called "Values". Since we see values as growing from students' experience we would expect that these could be modified as experiences accumulate and change. Hence, processes are as important as product.We therefore encourage children to make informed choices and to make them freely. Help children discover alternatives when faced with choices, weigh alternatives thoughtfully reflecting on the consequences of each alternative. Encourage children to consider what it is that they prize and cherish, give them opportunities to affirm their choices, encourage them to act, behave and live in accordance with their choices.The most pleasant physical environment of the School, the beautiful garden, and general air of order and organized functioning adds in no small measure to the value of a conducive environment in which to grow up in and from which to learn.
