Principal's Message

Mahatma Gandhi has rightly said, “Real education consists in drawing the best out of yourself”.

At MGM Clover Dale School, we believe in creating multiple opportunities, providing the right atmosphere and relevant resources to the students so as to transform them into the best versions of themselves and be an asset to the nation. Without any fear in their mind, the students are allowed to try their hands in each and every area of their choice leading to a holistic development of the learners. Over the years in school, this helps them to take well-informed decisions about their lives and gives them the right direction for their final strives, so as to make them happy and responsible citizens.

We believe in teacher, student, and parent partnership in the learning process, in order to chisel a good human being who has the capacity to make decisions, accept responsibility, extend support and lead others. MGM Clover Dale School being an extended family for all our stakeholders, takes up the responsibility to transmit the rich and traditional Indian value system along with imparting competency-based education and 21st-century skills to the learners. Even during the testing times of the Covid-19 pandemic when the world witnessed disintegration, our teachers strongly stood by their students and kept their learning trajectory growing.
We are committed to creating a competent learner of every student who can take the pressures and challenges of the dynamic and ever-changing world and at the same time make the journey memorable while achieving their dream destinations. MGM Clover Dale facilitators ignite every mind with curiosity leading to a continual thirst for learning. Based on Gandhian philosophy, we realize the strength of education as an immense equalizing force. We foresee our students to be the advocates of universal peace and mutual growth!

May the light of knowledge continue to illuminate us!

Message from the Chairman

As a generation of senior citizens, I believe that we shoulder an immense responsibility of leaving a meaningful legacy for the children of this world. While permanence is an illusion, positive change should be intentional and not incidental. The question that often comes to our mind is – In the flurry of activities that we undertake every day, how many of them will make an enduring difference to the children we claim to love so much...? Are we compromising creativity by emphasizing discipline and pushing children to meet the expectations of our society? Are our children ready to embrace and define the formless future?

Our endeavor and dream is to nurture every child in our care and help him reach his highest potential. We know for sure that this will require us and all educators at MGM School to become more flexible and examine the future by discarding the rigid lens of the past. It is only in accepting the unforeseen, that possibilities will emerge.
As a generation, let us learn to pause, reflect and re-define our actions to match our intent. Let us be conscientious about conservation of resources by taking only as much as we need. We have an opportunity to mould the future generations – as teachers and parents let us prioritize and make the best use of our time and energy to scaffold our children and teach them the LESSONS OF LIFE. You will find us by your side in this noble cause - always!

Blessings and Best Wishes.
