Our school proudly carries the name Tagore in honor of Rabindranath Tagore — a visionary poet, philosopher, educator, and Nobel laureate whose life and work continue to inspire generations. Tagore’s ideals go far beyond literature; he believed education should nurture not just the intellect, but also creativity, moral values, and a deep connection with nature and humanity.
By choosing his name, we embrace his belief in holistic education — one that develops the mind, heart, and soul together. Tagore stood for freedom of thought, respect for all cultures, and the idea that learning is a lifelong journey guided by curiosity and compassion.

In making Tagore our ideal, we aspire to follow his example: to think fearlessly, create beautifully, serve selflessly, and build a world where knowledge and kindness walk hand in hand.

Our school’s name is not just a label — it’s a daily reminder of the values we stand for, and the heights we can reach when we learn with purpose and live with integrity.
