Greetings from Wood Ridge International School,
It gives me immense pleasure and an opportunity to interact with you as you visit our school website.
Today, the role of a school is not merely confined to pursue academic excellence but also to motivate and empower it’s students to be lifelong learners, critical thinkers, and productive members of an ever-changing global society. More than two decades back Wood Ridge International School pledged to transform education. The school that is being run under the aegis of well established management of Siliguri Dulari Devi Educational Society has earned its own niche not only in Siliguri but across the globe. Our campus is located in serene surroundings of tea gardens at the foothills of Darjeeling Himalyas in the lap of nature which is apt for inculcation of knowledge.
At Wood Ridge, we stress upon multifaceted development of our students , where they are encouraged to optimize their potential in the pursuit of excellence. This can only be possible in a holistic, student-centric environment. The talents, skills, and abilities of each student need to be identified, nurtured, and encouraged so that he / she is able to reach greater heights. Students need to be provided with a platform to think, express, and exhibit their skills. It is necessary to empower them to negotiate several issues that confront them, with the teacher being a facilitator.
The school is striving hard to make the best possible efforts to inculcate strong values combining with academics and extra-curricular activities in the children. Converting every individual into a self-reliant and independent citizen, the school provides an amalgamation of scholastic and co-scholastic activities.
No wonder, a student harnessed in such an atmosphere has every hope and possibility of becoming a responsible, balanced and a mature adult and is able to live in to contribute and to shoulder responsibilities of the society, of which he forms an integral part. Children need a supportive environment at home and at school. They need to set goals, within their reach until they gain confidence and determination. They should re-examine their priorities, set clear goals and make specific plans to achieve what they desire. Focusing on specific goals, helps them move forward purposefully in life. They would, thus, have the pleasure of watching their dreams into reality. School will provide them the holistic care and necessary skills that will be crucial to their success.
At Wood Ridge , our approaches to learning is child centric , concept based and encourages activity based learning and inculcating a scientific temper with a spirit of free enquiry. We follow a pedagogy wherein the student is the primary focus and each child is involved in the learning process. We are constantly improving our teaching methodology so that it turns learning into combination of classroom study, research and scientific discovery. In order to ensure that our children are head and shoulders above others , we have started integrated foundation for JEE and NEET along with our competitive exams.
While academic excellence is our major thrust, the school is also devoted to prepare the students for life, groom them to face the challenges of tomorrow, and encourage them to be socially relevant. We constantly endeavour to always live up to this ideology and inculcate this into everything we do, with the aim that we will be able to ensure that the children grow to their full potential, while constantly being groomed to pass out as men and women competent to bear responsibility in all walks of life.
The parents are the most strengthening power in moulding the future of children. Their consistent support empowers us to do more and more. I pay my gratitude to them for their faith in us. Let me assure you that your child will get best care and support all the time.
I am sure that Wood Ridge International School will prove to be the best.
