OUR MISSION

St. Nicholas is the spiritual successor of Little Stars, one of the most prestigious standalone preschools in Kolkata, established by the Index Knowledge & Skills Foundation in 2005. Our mission is to provide each student with a diverse education in a safe, supportive environment that promotes self-discipline and excellence in learning. We aim to have a small but exclusive student population with parents partnering the St. Nicholas team in motivating its students to develop skills that will help them become independent, self-sufficient adults who will excel and contribute responsibly in a global community.

SCHOOL
SONG

As we gather here today,

All Nicholasians earnestly pray:

Be it in studies, play or debate,

Contests, projects, even subjects we hate,

We shall constantly try our very best,

Politeness, obedience and honesty - our quest.

Helping slow learners, saving the weak,

Generous to a fault, to succour the meek,

Yet, firm of hand to counter the foe,

THis will mark Nicholasians, as onwards we go.

As we gather here today,

All Nicholasians earnestly pray:

God of nations hear our prayer,

Bless our school, St. Nicholas so dear,

And when one day we'll leave and go away,

We'll thank our school and cheer "hurray"!

 

SCHOOL
PRAYER

Our Father in heaven,
Holy be your name.
Your Kingdom come,
Your will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our sins,
As we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
Amen

PLEDGE

I am an Indian 

Not because I am 

A Hindu or a Muslim 

Or a Sikh or a Christian 

Or a Parsi or Jew 

Or because I believe 

In a particular religion. 

I am an Indian 

Because if I am not, 

Who am I?

Irregular attendance, unjustified or unexplained absence, habitual late coming, disobedience or objectionable behavior of any kind may result in the removal of a child from the school. A minimum of 80% attendance is required per term in order to be eligible to sit for the half-yearly / annual examinations. Children absent from school must produce an entry in their School Diary from their parents, clearly stating the reason for absence. CHILDREN AFFLICTED BY INFECTIOUS DISEASES MUST COMPLETE THE QUARANTINE PERIOD BEFORE RE-JOINING THE SCHOOL. THIS SHOULD BE SUPPORTED BY A MEDICAL CERTIFICATE. The school does not provide for any re-testing for class assignments which are missed due to absence. The Principal’s prior permission for leave of absence from school is essential. Children who are absent without prior sanction for more than one week, are liable to have their names struck off the school rolls. 6.

While we do try to exercise utmost care, please note that THE SCHOOL IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LOSS OF PERSONAL BELONGINGS. Therefore, IT IS INADVISABLE TO BRING VALUABLES TO SCHOOL. Parents are not allowed to see their children or meet teachers during school hours. Transfer Certificates will be issued only after all dues to the School have been cleared. All correspondence to the Principal should be addressed to her by designation and not by name. Should a student be injured or taken ill during school hours, the school will make every effort to contact the parents first. However, in case this is not possible, the school authorities will take the necessary remedial measures. All belongings of the children (i.e. bags, water bottles, tiffin boxes, pencil boxes, handkerchiefs, shoes, etc.) should be labelled clearly with the child’s name and roll number. Parents should converse in English with the children at home as much as possible. Every child is required to do assignments set in class as well as any homework that is given for the day. Parents are requested to ensure that homework assigned is completed on time. All children are required to bring their text and exercise books for their respective subjects as per the routine set by the class teacher every working day, unless otherwise specified. NOTE: The Principal, guided by the common code of justice and fair play, may exercise her discretionary powers for changing any of the conditions mentioned above, in exceptional cases, or in the interest of the institution.
