THE SCHOOL
In 2010, the work expanded to include a school which is
incorporated into the ground floor of the Grace Children’s Home
building. The school’s aim is to ‘seek to develop and to bring
out the best potential in every child, to train them in good
citizenship and to equip them adequately to face the numerous
challenges of the future’.
The management is committed to running the school with ‘good
discipline and to international standards’. The school is run on
Christian principles and seeks to offer pupils irrespective of
community, background or creed, a complete education. Pupils are
taught computer studies, physical training, general knowledge,
environmental education, art and craft, singing, English, maths,
science, social studies, Hindi and Telugu.
The school is ‘English Medium’, which basically means that the
curriculum is taught in English. All new admissions to Grace
Children’s Home will attend the school and be taught English
from the outset. ‘King’s Ideal School’ has been registered with
the Indian Education Authorities, and meets all the very
stringent conditions required by the authorities. It is run by
the Principal and a staff of highly qualified teachers.
A good education has to be paid for in India and our Sponsorship
Scheme includes school fees for all the GCH children. GCH and
the School are separate entities, but it is envisaged that the
school will ultimately assist the Home in its ultimate goal of
self sufficiency.
