At Vels Global School, we believe that a report card is only one part of a child’s success story. As we prepare students for 2026 and beyond, our mission is to create leaders who are not just “exam-ready” but “life-ready.”
We don’t just talk about holistic development; we practice it through signature events that merge classroom theory with real-world application. Here is how Vels Global School strikes the perfect balance.
Financial Literacy in Action
While most schools teach mathematics on a whiteboard, we bring it to life at our annual Vels Sandai (Market Day).
- Entrepreneurship 101: Students transform into young entrepreneurs, setting up stalls to sell handmade crafts, organic produce, and food items.
- Real-World Math: From fixing prices and managing inventory to calculating profit and handling change, students learn the value of money and the basics of commerce in a buzzing, real-market environment.
- Communication Skills: Interacting with “customers” (parents and peers) builds confidence and negotiation skills that no textbook can teach.
Global Leadership & Diplomacy
To shape the global leaders of tomorrow, we host the Vels Model United Nations (VMUN). This isn’t just an extracurricular activity; it is a training ground for future diplomats.
- Critical Thinking: Students step into the shoes of world leaders, researching complex global issues—from climate change to international security.
- Public Speaking: Delegates must articulate their views, debate policies, and draft resolutions, mastering the art of persuasion and public speaking.
- Collaboration: VMUN teaches students that the best solutions come from negotiation and teamwork, fostering a mindset of global citizenship.
Integrated Learning
We ensure that life skills are woven into our academic curriculum, not kept separate.
- Beyond Learning: Whether it is a science project or a history debate, our teachers encourage questions over memorization.
- Tech-Integration: Our classrooms are equipped to support digital literacy, ensuring students are comfortable with the tools that will define their future careers.
Emotional Well-being & Character Building
Success is sustainable only when it is built on a strong foundation of mental health and values.
- A Happy Campus: We prioritize a stress-free environment where students feel safe to express themselves.
- Value-Based Education: Through morning assemblies and peer interactions, we instill values of empathy, integrity, and respect—traits that define a true Velsian.
Conclusion
At Vels Global School, we don’t just finish portions; we form personalities. From the bustling stalls of Vels Sandai to the intense debates of VMUN, every day on our campus is an opportunity to learn something new about the world—and about oneself.
