Dear Parents,

“Intelligence plus character—that is the goal of true education.”
– Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Warm greetings from the Indian Public School, Howrah.

It is with immense pride and heartfelt sincerity that I connect with you today—not just as the Principal of this institution, but as a fellow torchbearer in the beautiful journey of nurturing young minds.

At IPS Howrah, we believe that education is not simply about textbooks, exams or grades. It is about awakening a deeper sense of purpose in each child—helping them discover their strengths, cultivate their potential, and blossom into thoughtful, capable, and compassionate individuals.

Our core values are deeply rooted in the belief that a well-rounded education is the most powerful tool for change. We strive to create an environment where students are encouraged to think freely, question fearlessly, and grow responsibly. We want our children to not only excel academically but also become leaders with a conscience—individuals who lead not only with their minds but also with their hearts.

We take great pride in our balanced approach to education. On one hand, we have a robust academic curriculum that caters to various learning styles through progressive methodologies, and on the other hand, we strongly emphasize moral development, critical thinking, and emotional well-being. Whether it is through hands-on projects, life skill workshops, sports, arts or community engagement, every activity at IPS Howrah is designed to nurture holistic development.

Our faculty plays a vital role in this mission. Each teacher at IPS is not just a subject expert but also a mentor and a guide. With their dedication, experience and ability to connect with students, they help lay a strong foundation of lifelong learning. Their constant efforts help students gain clarity of thought, build resilience, and develop a sense of curiosity and wonder for the world around them.

We also understand that the school alone cannot bring about this transformation. As partners in education, your involvement as parents is critical. We are grateful for the trust, collaboration, and encouragement you extend to us every single day. Together, we create a safe and supportive environment where every child feels seen, heard, and valued.

With state-of-the-art infrastructure, access to modern technology, and an inclusive ethos, IPS Howrah is not just a place of learning—it is a community. A family. A sanctuary where dreams take shape, values are formed, and excellence is a way of life.

As we look ahead, our vision remains strong: to empower our students to become responsible global citizens—individuals who are informed, kind, socially aware, and ready to make a positive impact in the world.

Let me leave you with a quote that beautifully echoes our philosophy:
“Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” – William Butler Yeats.

We, at Indian Public School Howrah, are committed to lighting that fire—one student at a time.

With heartfelt wishes for every child’s growth, happiness, and success,
Yours sincerely,
Principal
Indian Public School, Howrah
