Time to move on from Institutionalized Schools to Child Centric Schools



The Shri Ram School (TSRS), New Delhi maintains its standing as the Most Respected Day School in India for the fourth year running. It is one of those rare child-centric schools in India where the entire learning ecosystem revolves around the primary stakeholder - The Child. 

Looks like, finally we are getting ready to move on from Institutionalized Schools to Child-Centric Schools.




“At a deeper level, our consistently high ranking of the past four years is indicative of a shift in the public mindset in favour of quality holistic education. Parents are now well aware that the quality of teachers and their continuous in-service training and development is critical to academic excellence. Therefore it’s very satisfying that TSRS has been ranked the country’s No. 1 school on the parameters of teacher welfare and development, and competence of faculty. Moreover, there’s widespread awareness that we involve parents in the education of children to whom our highly-trained teachers pay personal attention. This explains our top ranking under the parameter of parental involvement. Logically, all this plus our high ranking under the parameters of sports, co-curricular and community service education should result in a top ranking under academic reputation.” says Mark Parkinson, former principal of Oxford International School, Dhaka and director of the two Shri Ram Schools in Delhi and Gurgaon since 2007.

Indeed The Shri Ram Schools are living up to their illustrious lineage - Delhi University Colleges like Sri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) and Lady Shri Ram College (LSR).
