Welcome to the new school year! Our commitment at Bohra Central School is to provide a safe and intellectually challenging environment that will empower students to become innovative thinkers, creative problem solvers and inspired learners prepared to thrive in the twenty-first century.

The revised National Curriculum Framework (NCF) opens with a quotation from Rabindranath Tagore's essay, Civilization and Progress, in which the poet reminds us that a "creative spirit" and "generous joy" are key in childhood, both of which can be distorted by an unthinking adult world. The aims of education simultaneously reflect the current needs and aspirations of a society as well as its lasting values, and the immediate concerns of a community as well as broad human ideals. At any given time and place they can be called the contemporary and contextual articulations of broad and lasting human aspirations and values. Educational aims turn the different activities undertaken in schools and other educational institutions into a creative pattern and give them the distinctive character of being "educational".

High standards and expectations for each student in regard to academic performance, co- curricular participation and responsible citizenship are the foundation of our school. It is with pride that we hold these high standards and ask each of our students to commit to maintaining the extraordinary record of achievement and contribution that has been the legacy of Bohra Central School students. Full participation in academic and co-curricular programs and a willingness to act responsibly as an individual within our educational environment are the factors that enable all to have a successful and enjoyable year.
