It is a very common saying that the head of a family is responsible for making it strong and well-knit. Likewise in schools, principals are the architects who lay the foundation of a great institution. A school functions under the vigil of the principal who not only plays a vital role in framing the rules and regulations but also directs the teachers and staff staff so that they perform to their full potential. One such exceptional leader is Principal Sumitra Mitter who guides and directs Arun Nursery School which is one of the most promising pre-primary schools in Kolkata. She is a highly experienced individual who took the risk of thinking out of the box and built an educational institution where children “love to learn”.
She has been associated with the institution, first as trustee and then as principal for several years now and has left no stone unturned in taking her school to new heights in terms of education quality and services. The pillars of her belief and vision as a principal of the school include certain strict rules and virtues upon which she and her team have built the strong foundation of the school.
The children of Arun Nursery School are not subjected to rules and regulations which could intimidate them at such a young age. Rather the entire teaching staff of the school takes care of the fact that students understand the meaning of discipline and at the same time are sincere enough to follow it.
Mrs. Sumitra Mitter has built a team of teachers who inculcate modern theories of teaching so that children are not burdened with text books. Theme teaching, activities, object identification classes, and many such techniques are used for explaining topics and conveying knowledge which not only keeps the students curious but also ensures their complete involvement in the learning process.
Apart from academics, students of Arun Nursery school are also taught yoga, exercises, drawing, crafts, etc. so that their physical and mental growth are equally balanced. The co-curricular activities are given equal consideration by the school authorities.
Sumitra Mitter and her team also engage students in value educationl classes wherein they are taught values and beliefs. Here children learn virtues which are so important for building a positive mind.
Principal Sumitra Mitter has led from the front and with her wonderful team has laid the foundation of a strong, resilient and innovative institution.
