Dear Parent,

As I walk down the hallways of the school, I can hear the chatter of eager minds, the shouts of excitement from the victorious athletes, the thump of dancers’ feet and the sound of melodious voices harmonizing. The perpetual energy, movement and enthusiasm permeate the atmosphere at our school Unicent. We are a school with a difference! We value individualism, creativity and innovation and strive to nurture them in our students.

We aim not just to impart knowledge to the students, but also to inculcate in them - wisdom, compassion and a humanitarian spirit. We teach children the importance of tolerance and respecting each other’s culture. Discipline, values and integrity are the very foundation of our school.

The school encourages all students to participate in a variety of co-curricular activities from dance, art and drama to a variety of sports to social work to environmental conservation activities, (the list goes on). It is important for every child to explore and find their strength in order to reach their true potential. Whether a child is an introvert or an extrovert personality, the aim is to nurture the child into a self-confident individual.

Our mission is to continue to do what we have always done, develop this school and the students with integrity and values, to give our students the best opportunities and the best all-round education. Our vision is to produce conscientious, smart and confident citizens of India who will go out into the world and make us feel proud that they were once a part of this institution called UNICENT.

Warm regards,

V.V. Seshu
