GWALIOR

A Fortified City Gwalior

Little Angels High School is situated in Gwalior which is a historic and picturesque city of India, known for its palatial building, swerving mountains, and a tall, winding fortress which was hailed by Babar, the first Mughal Emperor of India as The Queen of Indian Fortresses. Little Angels High School is situated in the lap of a green plateau and is almost 5 kilometres away from the downtown Gwalior, thus making it a peaceful abode for concentrated education of children. Gwalior itself has remained as one of the reputed centres of spiritual education in ancient India and the place of the Vedic sage named Galav. It is also a famous Gharana (House) of Indian music and the home of Tansen, the music maestro of medieval India. In modern times, Gwalior has evolved as a dynamic hub of reputed educational institutions of North India. The following websites contain further comprehensive details. http://www.mustseeindia.com/Gwalior, http://www.tourism-of-india.com/gwalior.html.

An Abode of Holistic Education

LAHS takes education in its completeness. It does not only focus on physical and material education of different sciences and arts but also incorporates systemic and well-integrated moral-spiritual education. We mould children into morally upright citizens of tomorrow who will make their contribution to the advancement of human society because this is the main purpose for which a child is sent in this world by our loving Creator. Evolution is the nature of this transient world and an attribute of the human soul. Everything is expanding and so are we. Little Angels High School believes in the messianic words of Baha'u'llah the Prophet Founder of the Bahai Faith from whom it derives inspiration that "All human beings have been created to carry forward an ever-advancing civilization." The creation of a peaceful global society that fosters both individual and collective well-being is at the heart of the Bah' vision of the future and this is what guides our vision and process of growth. In order to translate this vision into a coherent and viable strategy for the future, the foundations of Little Angels School were laid as back as in 1990 with Playgroup and primary classes, and with a handful of students and teachers. Today it has developed into a High School and one of the most sought after educational institution of Gwalior. Today, the school has strength of nearly 3,000 students and a teaching fraternity of 130 well-trained & qualified teachers.

Our Vision

LAMUN ( Little Angels Model United Nations )

In a world of strife and starvation, anger and intolerance are the enemies of understanding. Prejudice is a burden that confuses the past, threatens the future and renders the present inaccessible. What the United Nations does is to unburden global nations of this enmity, prejudices and hatred so that man is not condemned to make war and we may live in peace. The objective of the Little Angels Model United Nations (LAMUN) is to seek through discussion, negotiation and debate, solutions to the innumerable global issues that plague all countries. Candidates (students) representing different member nations participate in open discussions; in the process developing insight into various international agendas and reasons for conflicts, their cause and effect and devise a viable vision to resolve them in an amicable manner, with tolerance and cooperation - the very quintessence of the Preamble to the Charter of the United Nations.

Faculty
Teachers are the very foundation on which the entire edifice of a great school rests. They are like divine gardeners who trim the unwanted shoots and foster the growth of the tender plants named children. Regular motivation and training of teachers is an ongoing phenomenon at LAHS. These include sending the teachers to attend important seminars and symposiums all over India and abroad and arranging for them special inhouse training in language skills, computer, problem solving, spiritual empowerment by experts in the specific fields from time to time.

An internal motivational bulletin The Mentor is published every month to keep teachers focused on their role and bring out their hidden potentials. LAHS teachers are widely travelled professionals who have visited NASA Space Station and have seen the spectrum of life in Turkey, Malaysia, Mauritius, Nepal, USA, UK and visited many other countries.

Junior Youth Empowerment Program

For Little Angels High School, moral training of children is a serious concern. To this effect, a special junior youth program is destined to go a long way. Junior youth differ from small children in many ways with their special mental and intellectual needs. The main aim of the Junior Youth Empowerment Programme (JYEP) is to empower the young students to understand the purpose of life and to become conscious participants in the process of their own growth and development and offer a worthwhile contribution to the advancement of human civilization - a noble goal for which each individual has been sent upon this earth. To attain this goal, LAHS Junior Youth Empowerment Program focuses on certain objectives, such as enhancing the language skills and the power of expression of children of middle school level, to prepare young students to approach the investigation of physical, social and spiritual reality in a scientific manner. It is an interactive program for junior youth which uses open methods to engage our adolescents in a conscious effort to explore the truth and analyze the constructive and destructive forces operating in society and to recognize the influence these forces exert on their thoughts and actions, sharpening their spiritual perception, enhancing their powers of expression and reinforcing moral structures that will serve them throughout their lives. There is a full-fledged dedicated faculty assisting children in this process of empowerment.

Career Counselling
Providing education to a child does not simply mean 'minting' him or her into a graduate and then leaving them alone on the pathway of life. Students need the right guidance for choosing a befitting career matching with their aptitude and caliber. Little Angels High School has a dedicated full time counselor along with a state-ofthe-art Psychology Lab unique and one of its kind in the entire State. What is important is that this state-of-the-art Psychology Lab does not only help the students analyze their mental inclinations and areas of interest but also identify their psycho-moral strong or weak points by conducting numerous psycho metric tests for the students on a regular basis. In addition, the school regularly invites veteran professionals and alumni from all the walks of life to conduct interactive session with the students in which they can have indepth understanding about a certain career.

Sports
Sports are an integral part of holistic education. We cannot imagine the lives of our children without games and sports. Children do not only enjoy sports but they even learn the most valuable lessons of life, such as courage, patience, tolerance, team spirit and discipline. At LAHS, games and sports occupy an important place in students' lives. We are proud that we have one of the best and most well-furnished Sports Wing in Gwalior with copious play grounds for outdoor games and ample spaces for indoor games of all sorts. LAHS sports facilities incorporate all major sports and physical Facilities such as FOOTBALL, HOCKEY, CRICKET, BASKETBALL,KHOKHO, TENNIS, TABLE TENNIS, JUDO, TAEKWONDO, YOGA, THROW BALL, ATHLETICS, CHESS, CARROM, SWIMMIMG, etc. Our students participate in the CBSE WEST ZONE & CBSE NATIONALS every year and have brought back lots of laurels to the school. LAHS students have stood as winners in hosts of NATIONAL and STATE level sports and bagged several Gold, Silver and Bronze medals and many Overall Championships over the years. There are regular sports classes for the entire school. In a sense, sports comprise a part of compulsory education at LAHS. LAHS has a full-fledged Sports Department with the most talented coaches and faculties specialized in their respective games. A specific feature is our Morning coaching program conducted throughout the year by the specialized coaches and LAHS sports teachers. This specialized training facility is free of cost for our selected students who are picked up from home by school buses early in the morning and brought to school for exclusive training.

There are 12 dedicated Sports teachers at our school -- all very well qualified and specialized in respective Games.

Social Services Projects

Every human is born to carry forward an ever-advancing civilization, said Baha'u'llah, the Founder of Baha'i Faith. The same ideology has since long been maintained in our Vedic culture which emphasizes that Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah (Let each soul be happy). Serving people and making them happy is not just a blank ideology for us. We translate it through our acts of kindness. The aspects of Social Service Projects are well integrated with our Junior Youth Empowerment Program (JYEP) because we believe that good knowledge is useless without good action. The spiritual empowerment our children gain at the school campus is further implemented into active involvement with these children with special needs who require a helping hand and, above all, true love from all of us. Our students collaborate with a number of humanitarian organizations. To name a few of them, they have a good rapport with ATMA JYOTI, a hostel for visually challenged girls. LAHS children help them in many ways including writing their examination papers as these visually challenged girls cannot do so on their own.. Our students also extend a helping hand to AMAR JYOTI children who are physically challenged and ROSHNI, the rehabilitation centre for people with cerebral palsy. LAHS students frequently visit these institutions to mix up with these boys and girls with special needs, distribute sweets and fruit, spend their quality time with them, play with them and do many things to make them feel that they are useful members of our human society who can contribute to its upliftment. These associations have created a sense of value in the hearts of these children. Many of these physically challenged children set up their stalls every year at LAHS and sell out handicrafts made by hand. This effort has improved their self-esteem and also contributed to their economic advancement.

Saving the Ecology

This small but beautiful world the Earth is the only home where humankind lives...the only peaceful lap of our common Mother. Yet, this 'mother' is now trapped in the claws of the cruel giants who are depleting its resources and scorching its face with global warming. LAHS children contribute their humble mite in saving the earth for the future generation. LAHS has a vibrant Eco Club of students actively exerting value-oriented efforts for a safer atmosphere by tree-planting campaign and creating awareness towards the three R's (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). LAHS declared itself a completely POLYBAG FREE ZONE more than 10 years ago when most schools did not even think about the hazardous impacts of polythene. Little Angels High School pays its homage to Nature by spending a considerable budget on its beautiful gardens one of the Best Gardens in Gwalior having received Excellence Awards from Dainik Bhaskar for three years consecutively.

Educational Excursions

According to a well-known proverb: Knowledge without travel is like a boat on dry land. Our mind becomes static and confined by seeing the same people daily and following the same lifestyle with each sunrise. When we visit new places and meet new people, it casts an abiding impact on our minds. A physical journey promotes a 'mental journey' into novel thoughts and nascent ideas.

Educational excursions have, therefore, been an intrinsic element of LAHS education. Every year in December, when most of India is enjoying pleasant winter inviting people to bask in its golden sunlight, our sneakers go on board to places of endless charms like the students in the famous book of Hermann Hesse Narcissus and Goldmund. LAHS students' excursion trips have measured the nooks and corners of India. Ask them any place from the northern tip of India such as Jammu & Kashmir to the utmost south at Kanyakumari, and from Kolkata in east to Goa in west, and they will tell you all about their culture and cuisine, languages and traditions, religions and beliefs, everything. Our children have visited a number of international venues as well, such as Kennedy Space Centre and NASA in America, and are widely travelled young citizens who have been exposed to the vibrant ambiences of Mauritius, Nepal, Turkey, U.K., and a number of other countries. In this way, they have been able to realize the Vedic vision of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, reiterated by Baha'u'llah that: This earth is but one country and mankind its citizens.

Infrastructure
A school is not just a brick-n-wall structure made up of class rooms. Life is added to education by providing children state-of-the-art facilities which include:

Computers

The Computer Wing also includes separate Multimedia Library with scores of educational CDs. At LAHS, computer-literacy is almost an essential aspect of educational empowerment and all teachers and students have access to computers which are networked and internet-equipped. There is a good computer-student ratio to enable this access to each and all. The entire campus is Wi-Fi enabled.

Library
LAHS has a vast library with a wide range of books on literature, science, geography, history, fiction, general knowledge, etc. LAHS Library has been the proud recipient of the BEST LIBRARY NATIONAL AWARD in the past. A separate section in the library for teachers is an added facility.

Laboratories

The School has well-equipped Laboratories for all disciplines of Science .

Music

LAHS has a full-fledged Art, Dance, and Music section not only with the most capable and trained maestros in these fields to train students but also some of the finest and most modern and state of the art instruments including a whole range of orchestra and an open air theatre which buzzes with activities all the year round.
