We are The Green Valley Public School in Selaqui, Dehradun, located at Colonel’s Farm on Shahid K.B. Thapa Marg. Our school follows a CISCE educational setting and serves children within the Selaqui community. We place importance on a caring and engaging environment, with learning experiences that encourage pupils to explore, participate and develop their own voice. Our institutional outlook connects the curriculum with creativity, collaboration and practical understanding.
We regard mistakes as part of learning. Children need opportunities to attempt a task, consider what happened and use that experience to improve their understanding. This outlook supports a classroom culture in which curiosity and participation have value. We encourage pupils to make connections between what they study and the world around them, so that knowledge becomes meaningful through observation, discussion and use. Learning is therefore understood as an active process in which children can ask questions and make choices.
Collaboration is another part of our approach. Working with others gives pupils opportunities to explain their thinking, listen to a different view and contribute to a shared activity. The school’s emphasis on children’s choice and voice complements this social aspect of learning. We want pupils to develop confidence in expressing themselves while recognising the importance of other people’s perspectives. These values connect academic work with the personal and social experience of being part of a school community.
Our school life includes creative displays, laboratory activity, yoga, Karate and practical experiences such as flameless cooking. These activities provide different settings for discovery and expression alongside subject study. Art, physical movement and hands-on tasks allow children to encounter learning through more than one form of participation. Our Selaqui setting gives this educational approach a local home within the wider Dehradun area. Across the curriculum and school activities, we aim to help children experience the satisfaction of exploring an idea and developing a skill. Care, creativity, real-world connections and shared learning together describe the educational character of The Green Valley Public School.
