The Orchid School provides holistic education in a conducive school climate and home environment which leads to nurturing in students resilience and a sense of personal responsibility and the ability to celebrate diversity, to develop leadership with integrity, to contribute to social development through creativity and problem solving, to face and create challenges with a fusion of traditional and contemporary values and choices.What we see and our kids experience is a borderless world, one that extends far beyond our country. With all the macro level urgencies, environmental dangers, discriminations that we witness around us, It’s time for each one to recognize our role in it, remind ourselves that our responsibility extends beyond ourselves, our country, to humanity at large.Conflicts, injustice etc are not merely a concern of the other but there lies the urgent need for each one of us to realize the role we play in it. Conscious acceptance and shifts in our attitude would have an effect on our behavior and ripple to others as well.The Indian pledge is a part of our assemblies. We felt that along the years the relevance in today’s context required a re-alignment.The TOS pledge was thus conceptualized with a belief that in its repetition, understanding the core principles would be reinforced, truth seen and it would become part of one’s self.The meaning and relevance was spoken about during assemblies to the various levels then institutionalized as a part of the daily prayers.
