Hope Town Girls School

The founder of Hopetown Girls’ School, Mr Kamal Sehgal’s primary objective was to build a school for five hundred girls and to develop an infrastructure for them, over the years. He has done just that. He was clear that he wanted his school to be a happy place for children to grow up in and chose a “happy girl” for the school’s logo.Hopetown is very conscious of the role women play in society and aims to develop confident young women with vision and the potential to meet challenges with confidence.Hopetown is a school for girls with a vision to develop a generation of Indian girls into confident, creative women with a voice and spirit that will make a difference to the world we live in today. The school’s philosophy encourages positivity, happiness and camaraderie.Thinking diversely, risk taking, expressing views and sensitivity to human issues is developed consciously through programs in the curriculum. Our girls are encouraged to think independently – even if they dissent from public opinion.The community also believes that the world is interconnected. That whatever we might do will affect the immediate community of Hopetown, the society we live in and the world at large. Our program for social sensitivity is flexible to the passions of our girls. If they feel they want to explore and support the needs of disabled children, or natural disaster ridden regions or the educational needs of the needy segments of society or animals and birds – we encourage them to follow their hearts. The most important thing for us is that they contribute positively to a cause they believe in.Our academic program encourages our girls to explore issues and subjects in an integrated way. Our senior students research their ISC and ICSE Projects for all subjects with the aim of stimulating their understanding of their subjects. We teach them to be honest and exploratory and aware of intellectual dishonesty. Our teachers are trained adequately to meet the requirements of the CISCE Board examinations and best academic practices worldwide.
