We are a school dedicated to nurturing young students as they begin a journey of lifelong learning, building competencies and skills along the way, imbibing values and most importantly developing character. Our goal is to provide a safe, secure and stimulating environment where children can grow into compassionate, confident, and self-reliant individuals.
The primary years are a crucial stage in a child’s life. I’m reminded of a poem by Chilean author, Nobel Laureate and educator Gabriela Mistral.
We are guilty of many errors and many faults,
But our worst crime is abandoning the children,
Neglecting the fountain of life.
Many of the things we need can wait.
The child cannot.
Right now is the time his bones are being formed,
His blood is being made,
And his senses are being developed.
To him we cannot answer ‘Tomorrow,’
His name is today.
Along with physical and cognitive development, children are also developing emotionally and socially. Hence, we believe in the all-round development of the child in a holistic manner, where learning is hands-on and experiential. Through storytelling, activities and games, experiences and trips, children learn about the world around them and make connections in a way that is both natural and enjoyable. We strive to create an environment where children are encouraged to ask questions, explore new ideas, and develop a genuine curiosity for learning.
Art, craft, drama, dance, music and sports play an important role in a child’s development and adequate attention is given to develop these areas. We also believe that these are times when Mother Earth needs to be protected and her resources conserved. Hence, emphasis is laid on reusing waste material creatively and children are engaged in activities to bring out their creativity and to think out of the box.
Udayachal embodies the true essence of its motto. ‘Tamasoma Jyotir Gamaya’, dispelling the darkness of ignorance and bringing in the light of integrity, tolerance, love and respect for the environment.
We also believe that education is a shared responsibility between school and home. Parents play an irreplaceable role in shaping their children’s development. When parents actively participate in their child’s learning, it significantly boosts the child's confidence and academic success. Healthy communication and collaboration between the parents and teachers greatly support each child’s growth. Together, with dedicated staff and engaged parents we strive to create a strong foundation for our children’s future.
It is due to the compassion and desire to give every child a head start in life, our founders, Mr. Pirojsha B Godrej, Mr. Naval Pirojsha Godrej together with his wife Mrs. Soonu Naval Godrej and Mr. Sohrab Godrej founded Udayachal amidst trees and greenery that help both teachers and students to study effectively in such a welcoming environment.
Mrs. Smita Godrej Crishna and Dr. Pheroza Godrej are our beacons of light who guide us to work tirelessly in the right direction. We are grateful to our Management for their guidance and wholehearted support.
My aim is to provide a nurturing environment with the help of my teachers, where every learner can thrive in an ever-changing world and achieve his/her potential, growing into confident individuals who are environmentally conscious and socially responsible.
Let us work hand in hand to make these formative years a truly enriching experience for our children and nurture generations of bright and compassionate individuals who will contribute positively to society.
