Headmistress
Ms. Nitika Sakhun Chaudhary
A.P.J Abdul Kalam beautifully said:
“Real Education enhances the dignity of a human being and increases his or her self-respect. If only the real sense of education could be realized by each individual and carried forward in every field of human activity, the world will be so much a better place to live in. “
Deeply influenced by these inspiring words of our late President, Ms. Nitika Sakhun Chaudhary envisions to impart the true education to every student at Ambience Public School with the intent that when these students will step out in the world with dignity and self-respect and carry forward these traits to the different fields that they will enter into, this world will become so much a better place to live in. She has an eminent career as a teacher of Computer Science and Mathematics which is extended over a period of 19 years. Amidst all these years, she worked for 14 years with Delhi Public School. She is committed to enhance the school education in both technology and values so that students can go hand-in-hand with the current age of technology as well as the values from our Vedas and scriptures that teach us the Way of Life. She has a mission to inspire and support teachers and parents to become self-motivated and passionate and achieve the best version of themselves so that together, all can support, inspire and hand-hold our children to become their best versions and train them on the skills required to live a purposeful, abundant and beautiful life. She believes that deeply imbibing the moral values in students at the Primary level can significantly reduce the disciplinary problems throughout their lives. She envisions to Educate children about the importance of self-discipline and consistency at a very young age and support them to understand how these two habits can be the strongest pillars in their overall growth and development for the entire life. She believes in instilling the love for learning in young minds which would be used throughout their lifetime to obtain knowledge at all levels. She has a strong conviction that if we inculcate in children the habit of being a life-long learner and allow them to experience books as their life long best friends, we are doing service to humanity as a whole and ensuring a much better and a wonderful future for the generations to come. She has a mission to produce extremely successful learning results by building a positive home – school connection. She aspires to align the parents with the vision of the school and encourage them to give an equally supportive environment at home so that together we all can achieve the vision for the child by comforting them in their growth rather than pressurizing them and controlling their thought process.
