Vivek High School, Mohali

Knowledge and Integrity

ANNUAL REPORT

The annual school report is a reflection of our achievements, endeavours, aspirations, and activities of the past one year.

MISSION AND VISION

Vivek High School endeavours to create a community of 21st Century Learners through a nurturing, stimulating, and holistic learning environment, where students are encouraged to develop open-mindedness, a spirit of inquiry, creative and critical thinking skills, self and social responsibility. The school collaborates with the community to instil in students generosity of spirit and integrity in thought, word, and action. At Vivek, to be truly educated is to have a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

THE PRINCIPAL

Reflecting upon the preceding year provides us with a profound sense of achievement and fosters a collective connection through the sharing of enriching experiences. I sincerely believe that our most remarkable accomplishments can only be attained when we unite and collaborate. We eagerly look forward to the possibilities the coming year holds. The results of 2024-25 validate the commitment levels of Vivek staff and efforts put in by the students. The guiding lights of knowledge and integrity continue to encourage all Vivekites to be the best version of ourselves.

- Dr. Amar Jyoti Chawla

OUR MONTESSORI WORLD

The Montessori Education Program at Vivek High School was pioneered in 2014 under the guidance of Ms. Meenu Sahi, Board Member of Vivek High School, Mohali, and Founder & Executive Director of Vivek High Montessori Institute, Chandigarh.

“A child can only acquire the words he hears spoken around him. This is not teaching but absorption. The child is, by nature, hungry for words; he loves strange, long words like the names of dinosaurs and constellations. He takes in all these words without understanding their meaning, as his mind is still taking language in by a process of unconscious absorption.”
– Maria Montessori (The 1946 London Lectures, pg. 148)

The Montessori curriculum ensures that most learning activities are individualised, allowing each child to engage in tasks suited to their needs and level of readiness. They work at their own pace, repeating tasks to build a positive attitude toward learning itself.
