Ms. Swapna Nair
Coordinator
I have come to believe in the quote by John Steinbeck that ‘A great teacher is a great artist and that teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.’
When someone asks why anyone would ever become a teacher, it’s worth it to remember that every job has its ups and downs but not every job can change a life.
Being a teacher, being able to guide so many wonderful minds itself is the biggest privilege and then knowing that our words, our actions, our thoughts make a difference to the future of the world makes it all the more special.
Being a teacher at VPMS where every staff member centres their thoughts on shaping the future of tomorrow and giving their best adds sweetness to the work.
Vision
To provide an enabling environment in which students will grow to become critical thinkers, acquire a quest for knowledge and a positive attitude towards life and environment.
Mission
- To create a multicultural environment for learning through an integrated curriculum with strong Language, Science, Math, Fine Art, Social Studies and Physical Education components.

Student Speaks
I was really ecstatic on viewing my results. It exceeded my expectations, but at the end of the day, it was a very joyous experience. All the hard work finally paid off, and that was the best part of this journey. And even happier was the experience of seeing my parents swell with pride. The fantastic teachers at VPMS and the conducive environment they created, in spite of the pandemic, was perhaps the biggest catalyst in my achievement. This has given me loads of motivation to work even harder in the years to come.- Srishti Dey (Std. VII)
