Perfectional Body

"Leaders aren't born they are made. And they are made through hard work". The students are the leaders of tomorrow. They must learn and teach to co-exist and become co-leaders in their movement and pledge for peace, progress and prosperity of their society. A team is as successful as the leader and the leader should be able to command respect from his team.

The student leaders of HCIS are selected and groomed to assume many responsibilities and play important leadership roles. They receive and accept these positions as 'Prefects' - to make a difference in their own lives and the life of their fellow students. At HCIS, the prefects learn to lead by example.

The school has an extremely qualified and committed faculty. In fact, the already recruited staff has had exposure to international educational systems in India and abroad. They are trained in the activity-based learning and teaching method. In addition, lesson planning, classroom performance and contribution to co-curricular activities are under constant supervision of the Vice Principal and Principal themself who believe that the quality of teaching and learning must be of the highest order-day-by-day, hour-by-hour, and lesson-by-lesson. The school is also committed to staff development through a wide range of on-going in-service programmes and workshops, which cover not only academics and pedagogy but also areas such as career counseling.

The school management is very particular about the people who interact with and take care of our children. That's why they ensure that everyone who works here is thoroughly verified and we have a complete record of their past and present. What's more, we also ensure that access to certain key facilities is limited only to female staff.

Partnership with Parents

We understand that the parent's active participation in the activities of the school is essential if we are to flourish as a school community. We would like the parent's experience to be a positive one. Parents are kept informed of all school events through a newsletter and regular updating of the School's website. They follow their child's progress through regular and detailed school reports. The school also welcomes parents to visit the school to discuss matters of concern with Class Teacher. This way we ensure that everyone contributes to the outstanding development of students.
