About us

Our mission
To nurture the innate potential of our students and mould them into passionate, committed, competent, sensitive, value-based individuals with leadership qualities.

About the school
C.T Vyas and M.T Vyas established the New Era School in 1930 with progressive educational ideas. The school incorporates scientific educatational techniques of the West with ideas of social and productive education of Gandhi and aesthetic and creative activity formulated by Tagore.

Keeping in tune with the need of the time, the school is now an English Medium School. It offers Gujarati and Hindi as optional second languages from Standard I.

To implement the above educational ideas, the school has organised activities under the following headings:

• Academic
• Co-curricular
  
• Cultural and creative
  
• Physical education
  
• Programmes for social and community understanding
  
• Computer training

The academic curriculum is enriched with field trips, visits to institutions, talks by experts and other activities like debates, recitation of poems, quiz competitions and library work. Activities like indoor and outdoor games, hiking and trekking, karate, cooking and computer programming are offered to the students. Training in craft, art, music and dance is also provided.

School assemblies are conducted on a regular basis. They start with a non-denominational prayer followed by devotional songs and music. There are talks on topics of general interest, news reading and reading of extracts from the writings of eminent personalities. We have esteemed guest speakers from different walks of life coming to these assemblies on a regular basis. Individual classes present cultural items in the assemblies. These assemblies provide a platform for creative self expression and an opportunity for children to exhibit their unique talents.

Our school has a large Interact club. Members participate enthusiastically in social service projects, which enable them to grow up as sensitive and socially aware citizens.

The P. T. A. of The New Era School is a co-operative body that plans and implements programmes for the common goal of the all round development of the child. This also includes educational and social programmes for parents, teachers and children.

International collaborations
The students of our school were invited to participate in an international cultural festival in China where they have performed various folk dances of India.

Every year a team of students is invited to The Seeds of Peace project organised by the American Centre in Boston, U. S. A. Children of neighbouring and conflicting nations stay together and understand each other's cultures.
