We are well into completing the first decade of the 21st century and we are witnessing an onslaught of changing trends in society, values, family life and of course in education. The struggle to achieve qualitative progress by scientists, technologists and psychologists is thus inevitable. The challenge before us today is to mould students into caring and creative human beings. While recognizing that each person cannot be unique and possess original thinking, we need to design a system of education which is holistic, complete and gives sufficient scope for thinking, creativity and originality.

NPS International aims to deliver an international educational programme beyond the limits of the academic curriculum. It offers a wholesome and sound education in a state-of-the-art-setting. The School is second to none in the exciting possibilities it has with the most modern facilities on campus and a faculty rich in talent and experience.

Our expectations are high, not only from our pupils but from our staff as well. Each one must recognise the value of a caring and motivational atmosphere and be aware of the need to work in partnership with parents for the future success of the students as they prepare for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life.

In fact, all-round education offered in the classroom, the playgrounds and the campus in many ways encapsulates a training that has all the richness and flavour of global educational system and all the vision and breadth of modern education. Even the IB and IGCSE curricula have scope to expand or digress into values that will build a true citizen of the modern world.

I welcome parents to join us in our journey towards excellence. We have much to look forward to with the commencement of NPS International in Singapore. I feel great joy and pride in the accomplishment of our students and faculty. The alumni of our institutions bear testimony to the fact that each and every teacher has played her role to the fullest. In the background of a blitzkrieg of media attention on seemingly irrelevant matters, quality shines through in every sphere of our school life and that is our true achievement.
