About Us

"A school is an institution designed to provide learning spaces and learning environment for students under the able guidance of trained, dedicated and compassionate teachers".

A school’s success is determined by its ability to create an environment that fosters healthy competition that incessantly improves learning outcomes, and by the strength of its emotional bond between students and its members. We, at Vidyanchal High School, make this possible with large, ventilated classrooms divided into primary and secondary wings.We provide our students with advanced technology and teaching methods to enhance their learning outcomes in academic, non-academic, sports, and fine arts field that leads to their organised and systematically planned growth.

We, at Vidyanchal High School (VHS), believe that the purpose of education is to produce intelligent, responsible and well-informed citizens who take an active interest in the world around them. We aim to educate our students through textbook learning as well as an array of hands-on activities.

We adhere to the curriculum set by the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education, and blend time-tested traditional methods with modern, creative and innovative techniques to ensure the highest standards in teaching.
Recognizing the diversity in the talents and attitudes of our students, we employ flexible methods that acknowledge the learning curve of each student. To ensure the best learning outcomes, we have restricted our class strength to 40 in the primary and secondary school, while the pre-primary school has a teacher—student ratio of 1:20.

At VHS, our most valuable asset is our highly dedicated, qualified and motivated staff. VHS strongly believes in and encourages the career growth of its teachers through regular training sessions, workshops, and seminars held by renowned educators. They are encouraged to continually upgrade their skills as we strongly believe in the principle: students excel when their teachers excel.

Teacher's Testimonials

Ms. Chetana Rao

Assistant Teacher

We at VHS work together with gratitude to make sure students are getting the best quality of education and community. It feels great to be part of a group that takes meaningful steps towards turning our philosophy and values into action. We as teachers want the students to feel empowered and have control of the newly acquired information. We want them to strengthen their own characters and diversify their own personalities. When a student is confident, he/she can stand up and express an opinion in a considerate but determined way and support it with facts. This is what our society needs and we as teachers, have to help our students build it.
"Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family."

Ms. Gayathri S.

Assistant Teacher

I have been a teacher at Vidyanchal High School for 12 years. I truly believe that Vidyanchal High School is one of the finest schools in our area. VHS is dedicated to providing a quality education for children. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with the most dedicated teachers and administrators possible. The education given to the children at VHS provides an excellent framework for the future success. Vidyanchal High School is not only a place for learning but also a home in many ways. The administration, teachers, parents and students all have a connection and a bond that unites us. Not only are academic subjects taught, but focus is also placed on developing deep and meaningful relationships. The students use their intellects, talents and gifts to stretch themselves and become the best they can be. Students are challenged by a dedicated team of caring & professional faculty, who work collaboratively to instill core values in each lesson everyday.

Ms. Mukta Manohar

Primary Teacher

I have been working in Vidyanchal High School for past 5 years. VHS provides a positive and healthy environment for teachers, which can only be possible, if the management and the Principal is in good tune with all the staff. Our principal has a perfect blend of professionalism and organizational management. It has been a great experience of teaching and learning for me at Vidyanchal High School.

I believe every day is a new opportunity to learn and my main goal is to prepare our students to be successful in the rest of their school years and to be lifelong learners.

“Parents are happy when their kids are happy. And this happiness converts into bliss when they see their kids are happy going to the school”. Unfortunately, this pandemic brought a dire situation, wherein the kids needed to be locked up in their homes. You are bringing out true potential out of these kids at this small age which in unbelievable. This reminds me a dialogue from old TV serial Chanakya:
"शिक्षक साधारण नहीं होता. प्रलय और निर्माण दोनो उसकी गोदमे खेलते हे".
We feel you are one of those rare teachers.

Mr. Abhijit Agarwal

Parent of Aavyukta Agarwal, Jr.KG

I am quite happy with the way Vidyanchal High School is handling the online classes. Being a new platform for the teachers and students, the school is not only managing academics but extra-curricular activities also nicely. More importantly, the timing of the classes for pre-primary children is not lengthy as in other school. I would like to mention special thanks to Ms. Sharmila, Mr. Nilesh and Mr. Shubham for putting in their best efforts. The school’s app is very helpful as the homework and notices are sent by school from time to time.
