Principal’s Desk
Welcome to Vivekanand English Pre-Primary and Primary School, Kurla. A core member of the Vivekanand Education Society, which has grown from a single institution, established in 1969, into a multi-school, multi-city entity. Situated in the heart of the city, the school reflects the spirit of the city of Mumbai. Undaunted by any kind of constraints, the school has been steadily pursuing excellence in all its endeavours, armed with the attitude that there is NO BOX that limits it.
VEPS is truly the labour of love and passion layered with trust between all stakeholders. Establishing and strengthening its place among the progressive and forward-looking schools, it has grown in scale as well in building brand equity. The school runs in 26 institutions to accommodate its ever increasing strength. However the expansion has not diluted the philosophy of the school. As you step into every campus, you can feel the energy and excitement that can only exist where there is a high degree of motivation and commitment. The school boasts of a non-threatening environment that makes it seem almost an extension of the home.
With students hailing from across the cities, country, the school is like a melting pot of different cultures. Needless to say, the school spells flexibility and new ideas and thoughts are encouraged. What stands out in every student of VEPS is the confidence to think independently and communicate effectively. We believe that the best of human potential can be tapped when people feel safe and are nurtured with care. We imbibe good values in our students by walking the talk and providing immense opportunities for them to grow and evolve. In our school, everyone values and respects the work they are doing. Work ambience is congenial and there is immense creative freedom for both faculty and students. Even as we keep pace with the changing environment, we keep our benchmarks high and are conscious of our responsibility to all our stakeholders.
The litmus test that we all do is to ask ourselves every morning if we are dragging ourselves to school or are we excited for yet another day of learning, growing and evolving. And we all stand validated on that count!
Welcome once again to the portals of this blessed institution we all call our second homes. Welcome aboard to a joyous journey together.
