We believe, as John Dewey (1859-1952), the American education reformer, that ‘Education is not a preparation for life, education is life itself.’ Inspired from this, our motto `Excellence in Education’ is a resounding echo to this very purpose and to which every Podarite is deeply devoted. This academic year we have seen deeply enriching responses to redefining our limits in all spheres of teaching and learning experience, be it curricula, assessment, new teachers or students too. Real-life application of knowledge and skills has been the hallmark of the education revolution at Podar International School. The caring and sensitized ethos at Podar has helped our students evolve into caring and achieving members of society and blossom into responsible, global citizens. In the year that was, we have seen ample evidence of cross-culture exposure and internationalism in classrooms and outside. We lend the platform and work hard backstage to applaud our students in all their activities, be with them, behind them and around them. Podar International School rejoices, celebrates the success of its students has created a niche for itself in the field of education. The Education World India Rankings 2019-20 has ranked Podar International School, Santacruz among the Top 10 International Schools for the 10th consecutive year. With this feather in our cap, I welcome you to a new year of achieving new milestones. The stage is set, the props are ready, and our students are perched like fledgeling birds, eager to spread their wings and fly to more enriching and spiritual heights.
