Dear Parents

Greetings from ABPS! There has been a paradigm shift globally in the Education system, in the last few decades. Thus is in this fast –changing inter-connected world, the LEARNING PATH too, must change, to prepare students for success in life. For schools today, bench-mark for success is not any more, to be better than we were before, but to measure up against best performing systems in the world. Our vision, thus is to help students to be collaborative, creative and critical thinkers for life in the 21st century. The faculty and the staff in school, are joy-filed, shouldering their responsibility with utmost commitment. Education in our school is not an end in itself. It is the foundation for a life-long learning-a time when students can discover their true passion to Soar - high above towards excellence and fulfilment. We wish to make ABPS, Awarpur more powerful with conscientious, smart and confident students who would make us proud of their multifaceted growth. In the journey of learning and growing, the support and motivation from the management and the parents is highly appreciable.
