FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESk “Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow”. - Anthony J. D'Angelo. K.R.Mangalam World School is a proud mission driven community providing a world class education, celebrating the fact that each student is different, as a person and as a learner. We believe that powerful learning and teaching occurs under a shared spirit of respect which creates a passionate schooling experience recognized for its warmth, energy and excellence. Here people are valued and can fulfill their potential both as teachers and learners. We offer the curriculum which is a balanced course nurturing the child to develop as a whole individual. We foster a positive spirit and believe in partnership between students, parents, teachers and support staff striving to create a milieu that sustains excellence. Our distinction lies in the pursuit of high academic attainment through support, encouragement, praise and motivation. I strongly believe that education is a collaborative effort that involves professional administrators, committed teachers and motivated students. We dedicate ourselves as professional administrators in creating a dynamic education programme empowering the students in a global perspective. We are a group of diverse experiences and outlooks, committed to excellence in preparing learners for enriched opportunities worldwide. In short, learning at KRM is a wholesome package of attitude, challenge and opportunity. EDITORIAL Dear friends, Greetings to you all !!
