Overview
Galaxy was founded in 1986 by founder Principal, Mrs. Geeta Rana. It is a co-educational institution and caters to the educational needs of boys and girls from Class Nursery to Class 12. Galaxy Public School is an educational community where students and staff of various nationalities and backgrounds live, study and work together in a congenial atmosphere.
Galaxy started in 1986 in a tenement house with only nine students and two teachers. Today, however, this humble beginning has faded away in the tide of time and a colossal Galaxy has taken its place with phenomenal growth. Galaxy is one of the largest schools in the valley with over 3296 students and 400 efficient staff.
Galaxy Public School was founded with certain aims and objectives. The school believes in holistic development. It helps children to hone their skills, obtain knowledge and shape their personality. The school provides almost all the facilities a modern school should provide. It is always trying to upgrade its infrastructure to match international standards. The school is environment friendly. Students are taught to respect the rights of animals and to protect our environment.
There is zero tolerance to all kinds of discrimination and ragging. Students are made to understand the value of human rights. The school environment is friendly and conducive to studies. The security of students and staff is one of the top priorities of the school.
A great emphasis is given to discipline and manners. We believe that a school should be a zone of peace. Since the school teaches students to protect our environment, it encourages students to restrict the use of paper and to re-cycle the things we use. The school attaches a lot of importance to the sustainable use of resources. The school infrastructure is well managed and eco-friendly.
In order to provide quality education, students are encouraged to take part in various curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. All activities are meticulously planned to benefit students to the maximum extent.
Since we are living in an age of communication, the school has an effective system of communication for the proper dissemination of information. The school uses the latest communication tools to keep everyone informed about the activities of the school.
The school has a very strong academic program that helps students to become innovative, creative and responsible. Thanks to all parents and guardians for their support and cooperation.
The School's aim is to provide an all-round education in which children are prepared to face any crisis in life with moral dignity and to become useful and loyal citizens of the country. This understanding is reflected in the school motto: LOVE and SERVICE. Galaxy seeks to prepare a student, not merely to pass examinations or enter a profession, but also aims at creating a tolerant, balanced, independent individual with the right attitude of mind and spirit and a desire to help others. Its special characteristic is the wide range of activities that it provides with the idea of developing a full personality and to bring out the talents of the students for their own benefit and that of society as a whole. At Galaxy, every student has the opportunity to participate in all kinds of activities. That's not something every school can provide.
