The Parent School Partnership at Vibgyor High

Any parent who has a child in a Vibgyor High school, has some level of involvement with the school, whether it is talking with teachers, getting reports, attending school functions and events, PTA meets, etc.

Many parents who seek greater involvement are also urged to do so by the school authorities. The level of involvement of the parents is mostly very fluid. It solely depends on their desire, availability of time, confidence and the capacity to contribute. Vibgyor High Schools believes in parental involvement with schooling and works with the benefits this partnership brings for their students.

This involvement of the parents may include attending open house platforms; participating in school events; belonging to parent groups; being a member of a School Council. By working together in a positive, effective manner, both parties work towards their common goal of better accomplishmemts of their students.

Parent engagement in the education of their child at school and at home is considered for better learning outcome of the students. The greater the involvement the more qualitative the outcome is. When the parents and school engage better, children tend to have higher levels of achievement. For the parents, getting involved in the process of schooling and staying involved continuously with the activities of the school is critical to the success of their child's schooling.

Oftentimes, the way the parents feel about the school and the emotional connections they had with their schools influence the kind of attitude their children have towards school and learning. Positive schooling experiences are bound to increase parental involvement with their child's schooling. Besides, the biggest contributing factor to Parent's involvement, is their expectation of the future achievement of their child. If the parents expect high levels of achievement from their children, their involvement and commitment to the process of schooling automatically becomes stronger. This also has an extremely positive rub off on their child who tends to pick up these positive attitudes and become more proactively participatory in the learning process.

VIBGYOR HIGH PARENTS REVIEWS

We consider the parent to be the child's first and the most important teacher. At Vibgyor, parents are considered as partners as we believe successful learning cannot be  achieved without a collaborative partnership with the parents.

Our parents helps us in ensuring the highest levels of learning through a strong partnerships and collective accountability. The excellence that we have in our school system, today, is largely due to the involvement of our parents and their volunteering efforts. By sharing their time, talents and resources as members of groups like the PTA, our parents help strengthen the Vibgyor High team and keep its colours flying high.
This is a  platform where we showcase some of their contributions and initiatives undertaken by them for the betterment of the school.

We would start with a few testimonial shared by some of the parents:

Vibgyor is a place where a child feels “home away from home” from the inception of Vibgyor I have been a part of the Vibgyor Family my child has experienced exciting movements and always longs to be in and around the school premise. VIVA seems to be a home managed 4 day festival. A lot to learn for both, children and parents.

I really appreciate the school for focusing on different competitive exams such as Olympiads, NSTSE etc. I can see the inculcation of the healthy spirit of competition in my son which will help him in future to perform to the best of his ability.

One of the distinguishing aspects at Vibgyor High, is the methodology followed by them. Activity based learning helps children appreciate and retain concepts better. The project based approach enables and encourages parent child interaction. The internal assessments help in understanding the child’s progress without putting undue stress on the child.

As a parent of two children studying at Vibgyor High,Marathahalli for the last four years, I’m very positive about the Excellent Curriculum and Environment, Vibgyor High provides for the overall development of my children. The teachers are always welcoming and very responsible towards children. Most of the teachers have a personal connect with the children because the number in every class is less. The school conducting different competitive exams like Olympiad, ASSET, VIVA etc is helping the children explore their capabilities outside the school walls.
