Our motto
Dheeran Academy aims to educate children to fulfil the highest ideals of learning. They learn to appreciate the differences in the accepted social and moral codes of behaviour. They should be prepared to resist the yoke of superstition and custom, to use their own initiative, and to accept discipline, responsibility and leadership. They should outgrow the fear of unpopularity and defeat, and as they grow older, have increasing opportunities to take charge, to organise, to act on their own and, in consequence, to make mistakes and learn from them.
They should know that education cannot be divorced from standards of social behaviour. Their good manners should be as reliable in the company of their juniors as of their seniors or equals. They should feel at home with strangers and be able to take part in an intelligent conversation without shyness or aggression. They should find happiness in good fellowship and friendliness and, while slow to make friends, be slower still to make enemies. They should have their temper and emotions under control but never be afraid of righteous anger.
They should form a stronger resolve to serve their country and their fellow men and women, both in their daily work and in some of their spare time. They should have at least an elementary understanding of the main social, political and economic problems of their own country, and believe that some work for the welfare of the poor and some share in the duties of good citizens are obligatory on every self-respecting man and woman.
They should be able to lead a simple, clean life, enjoy physical effort and adventure, and take pride in being able to look after themselves. They should learn the value of money, live within their income, and be competent to deal with a bill, cheque, money order or pass-book.
They should have the habit of reading widely, both for information and pleasure, know how to take notes and extract information from a reference library, and read a daily newspaper – framing their own judgements, distrusting second-hand opinions and not taking everything in print as gospel. They should speak and write fluently in our national language, in English and in their mother tongue. They should know how to learn, have a desire to go on learning, and be able to do a good deal of solid work without a teacher always at their side.
They should develop whatever artistic talent they may possess, and whether or not they have such a talent, be trained to appreciate natural beauty, to critique the art and design of others, and to develop a cultural taste.
They should be able to play games, ride, swim and run, developing courage, unselfishness and good sportsmanship, coordination between mind and body, and healthy forms of recreation. They should know how to win and keep good health, be sensibly instructed in personal and public hygiene, make good use of their leisure, and have sufficient inexpensive hobbies to interest them wherever they find themselves.
Finally, they should have a healthy sense of the richness of the country’s past, the heritage of splendour and greatness into which they have entered, and resolve that their lives shall be devoted to the service of their fellow men and women.
We can think of no finer purpose to which we may offer our loyalty than the production of such men and women for the service of India and her people.
