We are delighted to be ranked India’s best Central
government day school for the third year in succes-
“sion with top scores for teacher welfare and develop-
ment, co-curricular and sports education. This reflects
not only our academic achievements but also our dedica-
tion to nurturing well-rounded individuals equipped with
the values and life skills required for success in the armed
forces and other workplaces. We accord high importance
to sports education because it develops students’ team-
work, discipline, and physical fitness. And our highest
score under leadership/management is a tribute not
only to the management but also our students who are
destined to become leaders. To develop leadership skills
we conduct periodic workshops featuring industry leaders
to teach our students essential negotiation, teamwork,
and strategic thinking skills vital for effective leadership.” Being ranked India’s #1 Central government day
— Neetu Kapoor, Principal, APS Delhi Cantt (3,560 school for two years in a row is wonderful news! It is
students mentored by 155 teachers) “the outcome of the dedication, hard work and excel-
lence demonstrated by the entire school community. I am
especially pleased that our teachers have been awarded
a very high score under the parameter of competence of
faculty and highest score for curriculum and pedagogy.
This is because innovations such as flipped classroom
teaching is practised extensively supplemented with
quizzes, Kahoot, Jamboard, colour wheel, virtual labs
etc. Teacher welfare and development is also an impor-
tant focus area for us. Our #1 ranking in the prestigious
EWISR obliges us to maintain our top rank by continuing
to adapt to the changing educational landscape to prepare
students to assume leadership positions in the defence
services and society” — Dr. Nandana Khare, Principal,
Navy Children School, Colaba, Mumbai (2,224
students mentored by 110 teachers)
