“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and critically. Intelligence plus character is the goal of true education.” Martin Luther King Jr.
With proud legacy of 119 years, Birla School, Pilani is continuing its journey to excel in the field of education. Today, the role of a school is not only to pursue academic excellence but also to motivate and empower its student to be lifelong learners, critical thinkers and productive members of an ever-changing global society.
We ensure students’ emotional growth along with intellectual excellence, through various forms of learning, thus grooming them to be confident, articulate and enlightened young citizens, ready to step into the world with dignity, honour and integrity.
We believe in giving our students strong values along with a set of wings which may carry them far and wide to become a valuable part of the society. The school provides an amalgam of scholastic and co-scholastic activities organized by various clubs and societies facilitating the process of creative and critical thinking. They not only inculcate social and moral values, compassion for nature, pride for Indian culture and tradition, respect for modern educational values and awareness for one’s rights and duties but also make students good human beings and confident leaders.
Keeping at par with our approaches to child centric learning where we encourage activity-based learning, inculcate a scientific temper, and a spirit of free enquiry on both academic and non-academic fronts, we have set up an Innovation Hub Lab for the learners to develop creativity, knowledge about artificial intelligence and modern physics laws. The outcome of the science environment in the school was soon materialised in the form of ‘quadcopter’ the first experiment, made by Class XI students.
Beside the usual procedure of teaching, we persistently upgrade and update our teaching tools and techniques. The emphasis on ICT education allows learners and teachers to exploit the very best of modern learning opportunities.
Our students have been carving a niche in the sports arena by maintaining their champions’ status from the last nineteen years in the Athletic Cluster Championships. Our students have also been selected for State level as well as National level competitions.
The parents are the most strengthening power in moulding the future of their children, and their consistent support empowers us to bring better results in building balanced human beings, and good citizens. I express my gratitude to them for reposing their faith in us.
As I walk down the hallways of the school every day, I can hear the chatter of eager minds, the shouts of excitement from the victorious athletes, the thumping of dancers’ feet & the sound of melodious voices. The perpetual energy, movement & enthusiasm permeate the atmosphere at BSP. We are a school with a difference to value holistic grooming of our students.
I am confident enough that the BSPians will make themselves stronger day by day, and keep on adding new leaves to the grandeur of the school. I visualize them to be the beacon of light and hope for stronger India.
