From Principal's Desk
Ida Scudder School turned 55 in June this year … and continues to serve the larger community, today, as it did in years past by providing quality, holistic, value- based education to thousands of students. Looking back over the years, I feel, two words could be used to sum up the intervening decades- Change and Growth. As we know, the two are inextricably linked … there is no growth without change and change is an inevitable consequence of growth! And, both growth and change are evident when we look around, in virtually every aspect of the school. We see it in the very size and shape of the school – more buildings, bigger classrooms to accommodate the growing numbers, new technology in the classrooms, new teachers taking the place of old familiar faces … different ways of teaching and learning …even new trees to replace the old ones that sadly no longer stand in the school grounds.. Yet, despite all this change, there is a constant. A running thread that binds us together, something subtle yet palpable that defines us and dictates our every thought word and action. I am speaking of the core values on which our school is founded

… values of Spirituality, Compassion, Integrity, Humility, Inclusion and Resilience that continue to influence and shape all that we undertake as a school …timeless values, that we make a conscious attempt to develop in each of our students during their years at school, so that when they eventually step out into the world beyond the school walls they are equipped to make choices that will result in a safer, happier and more equitable world, both for themselves and for the others who share their world.
