A WORD

From Our Chairman

“Education is the most powerful tool you can use to change the world” – Nelson Mandela.

It was the day I attained fatherhood it dawned upon me that the role of education in the life of a child is next to none. With this thought in mind and after years of relentless research into the educational landscape of the region and beyond, this dream turned into reality on 1st of April, 2014.

It is but natural for a parent to want their child/children to be educated in the best school. The choice of the parent in selecting a school speaks volumes about the trust that is bestowed upon the school. Hence it is imperative that we live up to their expectations by identifying the individual needs of the child, and nurturing him/her in a safe, secure and happy environment. While we continue our good work towards fulfilling this duty and obligation to parents and society, I, as the Chairman of the school, would like to put forth what my vision for Credence High school. Schooling to me should be that period of a child’s life which is the happiest, the most fulfilling and the most memorable. Children must enjoy coming to school and should be curious to learn. They must feel free to interact with their teachers and never hesitate to either ask or contribute during a class discussion. I understand that what I envisage is easier said than done. However, I also know that with the team of professionals that we have at Credence High, nothing is impossible. It is our teachers who are our greatest asset and we take pride in seeing them motivate students and make them comfortable in their class, helping them blossom into confident and independent young individuals. We as a school are sensitive to the students’ learning needs as well as their emotional needs. The language that we use, the expressions that we exhibit, the forms of remedial measures that we adopt - all go a long way in making us unique in shaping the child’s personality, nurturing free and happy minds, empowering them to excel and contribute to society in the field of their choice.

With this in mind, I am moving towards making every Credenian an individual who is an epitome of social etiquette. He/ She must take pride in lending a helping hand in any situation, must greet people whether in school or at home, must thank and appreciate not just people who matter, but also people who drive them to school, who help keep the surroundings clean and who make their life more comfortable. Sensitivity to the not so privileged in society must be in every student of Credence High so that he/she can appreciate every human life and understand the concept of dignity of labour.

– Abdulla Nalapad

A WORD

From Our CEO-Principal

“The objective of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives.”

The new academic year 2023-24 unfolds yet another chapter with more dreams and aspirations to fulfill. As we go aboard this new path alongside our students, parents, faculty and the greater school community, I would like to extend my warm welcome to all.

Every new or old member is welcomed to the Credence family with open arms, where students are a priority and where traditional, innovative, moral, and educational values are respected and encouraged to coexist.

The school has progressed commendably well through the years, and we endeavour to pursue this and attain greater heights. We will strive to build in our students' knowledge, wisdom and character to help them withstand/overcome the challenges that they come across. We will continue to encourage our children to be independent, 21st-century learners, full of inquiry based on the skill set to observe, analyse, question, discuss and reflect.

It is a great moment for us to see the school's growth not only academically but also in terms of paving the way to a stronger future for our students. We will ensure that the best methodologies and content alignment is offered by our highly proficient and competent faculty.

While the school will always produce outstanding academic results, we do not measure children by grades alone. We place the importance of character, self-discipline, community, integrity and effort at the heart of everything we do. Our ambition for all children is to see them be imbued with a clear set of values and the highest standards of effort, accomplishment and personal integrity, honouring the school motto “ Character is Destiny”.

We will continue to focus on the values of tolerance and co-existence. The focus will be on fostering respect for self and others, regardless of beliefs and creeds, thereby building a better society. We will provide an honest and fair environment within the school to achieve our goals for a better student community and promote reliability and dependability in work and studies with actions of service in the school community and beyond.

With all our dreams and aspirations towards the fruitful and satisfying year 2023-2024, we open our doors to our valuable students and parent community. Together, we are stronger and believe this will be our best year yet!

Credence High School education is for life.

– Deepika Thapar Singh

A good education depends entirely on the person providing it. Many schools introduce new and innovative methods of study to be on par with international standards of education but do not have the requisite qualified staff.


Benefits of choosing Indian schools :


International Recognition
