A Message from Our Director
Mr. Thomas Passmore
International Director
In 2018, I visited Uttar Pradesh and observed the need for quality education for every caste. RP Yadav and I envisioned a school where every student, teacher and family is respected as a person created in the image of God. Every individual is viewed with dignity, intelligence and significance.
Our vision is to provide an environment where children discover and develop their God given talents. We believe in developing the whole person, not just the brain, by cultivating their moral conscience to make ethical decisions; by cultivating their spiritual being to view themselves and every person as a human-being created in the image of God; by cultivating respect for the body and view it as holy and dignified.
Learning is a life-long process of discovery that continually nurtures confidence to pursue dreams and conquer the impossible. At Mt Carmel, every lesson fosters imagination, discovery and confidence to pursue knowledge and unveil the unknown. Education is freedom.
No one will be left behind. The poor need education too and we will find scholarships for them. Children with learning challenges and disabilities will be integrated in regular classes, taught at their individual level plus one and cared for with compassion.
Mt Carmel is an international school with international standards and global vision. English will be taught parallel with Hindi to prepare students to compete in the global market and contribute to the international community. We will implement world geography and history into lessons to develop student's global vision.
Mt Carmel will hire, train and retain qualified teachers. Teachers are required to attend weekly faculty training where they share best practices and challenges with each other. Daily lesson plans are required and are shared at weekly meetings. Teachers will evaluate each student's progress, every week. Teachers are students at a different level, who are committed lifelong learning.
"We believe serving a child is serving God."
