The central task of education is to implant a will and facility for learning; it should produce not learned but learning people. A truly human society is a learning society, where everyone learns together.”

The history of the world is full of men who rose to the occasion and proved themselves by sheer force of self-confidence, bravery, and tenacity. The young, ignited minds are our greatest assets. We, at K.R. Mangalam World School GK-II, cherish these youngsters and encourage them to explore their true potential by awakening their passions and cultivating their talents. No doubt, they would be more self-assured in this global world of growing opportunities but to blossom into peak performers they should strive to restore a sense of focus to their lives. In this regard, it is pertinent not to lose sight of one’s goal and to forge ahead untrammeled by the distractions which constantly vie for their attention. It is always the earnest soul that has swayed the destiny of a nation, imbued with a passion for knowledge and a quest for a lofty purpose, these souls will continue to blaze a trail for us by virtue of their hard work and resolute focus.

In sync with the aforesaid, every year, we conduct various Inter-School Competitions and Annual events where the learners not only prove their mettle but also act as tough competitors to the other participants. These events offer a chance for participants to gain substantial experience, showcase skills, analyze, and evaluate outcomes and uncover personal aptitude.

We encourage students of all classes to actively participate in such Inter-School competitions and Annual events and try to achieve maximum participation.

Lingua Fest

“The beauty of the world lies in the diversity of the world.”

Language is the most powerful means of communication, a potent instrument of artistic expression, literary creativity and a significant medium for the expression and conservation of culture. Language, therefore, is all pervasive, indispensable aspect of mankind. Ostensibly, there exists an intrinsic form of relationship between language and literature and this symbiotic co-relation is inter-complementary. Literature represents a language or people: culture and tradition and introduces us to new worlds of experience as we evolve our own literary journey with books. In essence, literature is a reflection of life. Language learning is an ongoing activity. Apart from the variety of learning strategies we use at school, students benefit from exposure to the language outside their classroom too. Our students are offered opportunities to showcase their skills in the language when they participate in the Language Fest.
