Principal’s Message
( Pre- primary, Primary and middle school )
Welcome on board!
If you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life. I have always believed in this adage and it is a delight for me to steer the wheel of The B.J.P.C.I. ship. The modern day context has drastically changed the scene of education. The consumer is spoilt for choice! On one hand, we had the gurukul system with one teacher and a few students, whereas in the 21st century there are multiple boards to choose from most of the time, leaving parents in a dilemma.
At its core, The B.J.P.C.Institution has kept its uniqueness for decades with its vibrant, diverse and exciting culture. A place which pulsates with visceral energy of its students, coupled with a collaborative community striving to make a difference.
The palatial building rooted in the bedrock values of love, compassion and generosity of its founder, stands tall in the heart of the city with thousands of students having walked out of its portal and made success. Our school has a blend of conventional and contemporary, which complements our effervescent school community.
The dedicated faculty and super talented student body lends B.J.P.C.I its distinct characteristics.The school is a breeding ground for a spirit of discovery, creativity and innovation. There are opportunities for self exploration in an environment of freedom and joy. Our mission is to delve deep into realms of self enquiry in order to achieve the highest truest version of oneself. Driven by sheer determination and the willingness to take calculated risks, we strive to metamorphose from a Caterpillar to a Butterfly. In our fast-paced and often chaotic world, finding one’s ikigai can be a transformative journey which
requires self-reflection, introspection, and courage to explore different avenues. It is about finding a purpose beyond personal gratification. Our school creates an atmosphere of stepping out of one’s comfort zone and considering the activities that truly resonate with one’s soul. With a Board of Trustees who are committed to the potential to change lives
and shape futures, our mission together is to nurture not only academic growth but also personal development. We aspire to create an environment conducive to learning, with well- equipped classrooms and essential amenities. Learning takes multiple forms at The B.J.P.C.I and goes beyond the pages of the textbooks, where individual interests are taken into consideration in cultivating the Head and Heart.
We believe that education is a right of every child and there is no contradiction between the global and local, and between moving forward with a modern outlook at the same time preserving our tradition. The true essence is embracing change, for it is the only constant.
Thanks for navigating!
