FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK

A sweet and meek ‘good morning’, a small flower from a tiny hand, a sharing of teenage woe, an earnest wish by someone to have the same class teacher next year and a pat or word of appreciation from an educator, portrays that ‘Team Cohesion’ is the water mark of this institution and so we are guided by a ‘we-ness’ amongst all the members of Filix’s family, thus leading to continuous ‘sustainable advancement’. Developing both IQ and EQ of our future citizens.

In troubles we teach our children to have wings and not crutches. Thus we go for an all-round development and we encourage them to dream, protect their dream and do something to fulfil their dream. We teach them to dare to dream.

So let us

“CREATE WITH THE HEART AND BUILD WITH THE MIND.” --- Criss Jami.

Because

“CREATIVITY IS INTELLIGENCE HAVING FUN.” ---Albert Einstein

With Greetings fair to break down barriers, extinguish the fire of hatred and distinguish ourselves not just another in the crowd but another with distinction.

ABOUT FILIX SCHOOL

Filix School of Education was set up by NANRITAM, a non-profit social welfare organization started in 2002 by a few like-minded professionals who have been working in this remote rural area since 2004, starting with a small eye care unit which had grown into a 100 bedded super-speciality eye Hospital in 2012. Being located in an area which have a modern thermal power station run by highly qualified professionals at one corner surrounded by a largely rural countryside with inadequate social infrastructure, Nanritam appreciated the yearning of increasing number of parents from all classes of society in these areas for quality English-medium schooling for their children, given the link between job opportunities, economic success and the English language. It was noted that even illiterate parents aspire and attempt to do whatever is possible to provide English medium education, often of uncertain quality, to their children because education for them acts as a vehicle of social mobility and a means to break out of the vicious cycle of poverty.The Filix school emerged out of Nanritam’s acceptance of this reality that teaching English as a language has become a key determinant for future success and mobility of a child. Nanritam felt that our locational vantage point would enable us to set up a socially integrated schools that would benefit all students as current research shows that when a school reaches a stable level of about 30 percent middle-class students, the lower- income students achieve at higher levels and the privileged students do no worse.The Nanritam team have been visiting a number of pre and elementary schools in USA, Canada and Europe for a direct exposure to their teaching methodologies and research works on child psychology and have adopted those systems in Filix innovatively.

The school has set forth its journey in April 2014 with three pre-school classes : Nursery, KG I, KG II and 70 students in total. By 2019 school has been upgraded to STD VII with a total of 543 children (329 boys and 214 girls ). Number of children from minority community are approx 25%. Their parents are progressive enough to send their children to this model English medium school instead of sending them to the nearby Madrasas as is the general practice in this remote rural backdrop. The existing campus of Nanritam covering 13 acres of land is aesthetically designed. The layout of the campus, architecture of the existing buildings, vegetations and flowers inside, undulating land and greeneries and water bodies in the neighborhood have earned Nanritam admirations from the guests and visitors from both India and Abroad.

FILIX SCHOOL OF EDUCATION covers 3 acres of land within this campus along with its beautiful playground and the children's entertainment park. The curriculum structure for the primary sections is inspired by the global teaching methodology which aims to:

- Make learning fun through use of various creative teaching materials, exercises, worksheets, dance, drama, music, Games and sports.

- Use innovative new-age teaching technology like audio- visual aids.

- Prepare children to be disciplined and self-dependent from a very tender age. Special focus will be laid on basic hygiene training.

- Provide individual attention to all children. The stress will be to allow children to learn and progress at their own pace.

- Lay less importance on homework and more importance on classroom activity and participation.

- Ensure regular monitoring and provide detailed quarterly report on progress of child to parents.

- Provide opportunity to interact with international Volunteers from time-to- time.

MISSION STATEMENT

To create self-reliant and responsible future citizens through proper grooming and quality education imparted through a band of dedicated teachers .The target is to make kids liberal in mind but with feet firmly grounded in Indian traditions.

OPERATIONAL PLAN

Current Scenario: Naritam campus is situated in 13 acres of area of which 3 acres has been earmarked for the school building and childrens play area.

School building had ground floor and first floor of 12000 Sq.Ft each, totaling 24,000 sq ft completely constructed with 38 rooms, of which 23 are being used as classrooms. All the classrooms are equipped with modern teaching aids and equipments.

There is a a) Composite Science Lab, b) Maths Lab, c) Composite Science Lab including Robotics, d) 3D Lab and a Library cum Audio Visual Room.

50% of the 1st Floor (i.e 6000 sq ft which includes six rooms, one computer Lab, one Library room, one toilet block) and the entire first floor has been constructed with the aid of Syngenta India Limited. The construction was over by October 2019.

Our planning to have a total 36,000 sq.ft. for all the classes upto Secondary Level. And so far we have been able to construct 24,000 sq.ft. We need to add the remaining 12,000 sq.ft. by March 2021 to be able to continue the present momentum. This will give us sufficient room to enroll more students unlike current scenario where we are forced to reject few students who wish to join us due to lack of sufficient space. We have already got the affiliation from CBSE. Our present student strength is 543. We are expecting to have around 850 students in the academic year 2021 - 22.

UBC CHILDCARE, VANCOUVER

The UBC Child Care Services operates just under six hundred licensed spaces in twenty-five locations on campus and employs more than a hundred and twenty early childhood educators. The basic philosophy of the services is that children thrive within warm, sensitive caring relationships; that play enhances children’s well-being, creativity, and knowledge(s) and that challenge produces critical thinking skills and learning possibilities. These beliefs guide their approach to child care including caregiving, relationships with families, inclusion, behaviour guidance and all other aspects of the curriculum.

ENDERS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA

Nanritam’s search for good models of running a school took the Nanritam team to Enders Elementary School, at Springdale Street, Garden Grove California in May 2015. This is one of the largest public schools in Los Angeles, USA. The teachers in the school have complete autonomy over the class assigned to them. They decide on what sort of charts, posters and decorations are to be put up on the walls of the classroom.

Dr. Bharati Bakshi Vice President and Ms. Ranjana Sengupta Secretary Nanritam had, in the course of a fund raising cum exposure trip to USA, Canada and other European countries, visited a model Montessori school at Rotterdam, Netherlands where Dr. Maria Montessori had actually introduced the system. They were shown around the school by Ms. Tessa Wessel, the Principal of the School herself. The visitors were pleasantly surprised to note that in spite of their somewha t unfamiliar attire, and different looks, the children remained engrossed in whatever they were busy with and were not the least distracted.
