Welcome to British Grammar School Rupandehi
(Formerly Namaste Academy )
Dear Parents, Students, and Esteemed Members of the British Grammar School Rupandehi Community,
As I step into the role of Principal at British Grammar School Rupandehi, I am filled with immense pride and excitement. The remarkable achievements and vibrant atmosphere that define our school are truly inspiring. I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to my predecessor, Mr. Jigme Sherpa, and the entire management team for laying such a strong foundation. Their dedication has set the stage for us to advance toward our shared vision of preparing learners for life in the 21st century.
Our mission to cultivate empathy, compassion, and a sense of responsibility within our students remains at the forefront of our endeavors. We aim to nurture global citizens who are not only academically proficient but also deeply connected to their communities and the world at large.
While we have celebrated numerous successes, I recognize that there are challenges ahead. These challenges are opportunities for us to grow and evolve. To meet them head-on, I am committed to fostering a unique BGSR culture that will propel us toward our goals. This culture will be built on the core values of Mutual Respect, Honesty, Perseverance, Praise, Cooperation, Coordination, Empathy, Compassion, and a strong sense of Responsibility.
Academically, our focus will be on providing students with a true sense of learning that goes beyond traditional methods. We will educate, engage, and empower our students by instilling values of Inquisitiveness, Innovation, Accountability, and Care for their future careers. Our approach will be rooted in the principles of progressive education, emphasizing learning by doing, critical thinking, social responsibility, student engagement, and personalized learning.
To achieve this, we will introduce hands-on projects, expeditionary learning, and experiential learning opportunities that will help students not only understand concepts but also take meaningful action. By making our activities more systematic, strengthening our belief system, and enhancing staff management, we aim to create an environment where every student can thrive.
As we embark on this journey together, I am confident that with your continued support, we will achieve even greater heights. Let us work hand in hand to create a school community that is vibrant, inclusive, and forward-thinking.
Thank you for entrusting us with the responsibility of educating and shaping the future of our students. I look forward to a year of growth, collaboration, and success.
Best Wishes,
Dil Bahadur Budhathoki
Principal
Welcome to Namaste Academy!
The world has changed drastically in the last few decades and so it is important for educators to always be relevant. This is the 21st century and our students deserve an education befitting of the times. In line with this, we are consistently upgrading the technology at the Academy to ensure that our students have the best technical infrastructure.
At Namaste Academy we understand the need to help students to become independent and prepare them to face the ever-changing world. Holistic education is the need of the hour, and so the physical, social, and emotional well-being of our students is our focus. We further put the utmost importance on critical thinking, emotional intelligence, problem-solving skills, resilience and other 21st century skills that are required to excel in the world today.
Our teachers understand the needs of the students and support them accordingly. They constantly learn new tools and techniques so that they can guide the students in the best way possible. And by focussing on both academic and non-academic growth, we are proud to tell you that we are introducing new and innovative student-centric teaching approaches.
In this way, we are on a path to implementing progressive education through experiential learning, as we believe it is one of the best ways for the students to learn. In line with this, we are well equipped to provide opportunities and platforms for students to showcase their talents, interests, and sense of agency.
Therefore, we are confident that when students leave our Academy, they will have all the necessary skills and tools in place to attend national as well as international colleges and to excel in their future lives.
Best Wishes,
Jigme Sherpa
(Former Principal)
