ABOUT US

Nurturing Confident, Responsible

and Compassionate

Young Minds

Established in 1981, St. Thomas Aquinas School, BTM Layout, Bangalore, has been committed to providing children with quality English-medium education in a caring, disciplined and value-based environment.

For us, education has always meant more than academic achievement. We believe that a child must be prepared not only to succeed in the classroom, but also to become a responsible, respectful and principled member of society.

Our philosophy is beautifully reflected in the words of Proverbs 22:6:

“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.”

These words express an important part of what we believe about education. The habits, values and attitudes formed during childhood can influence a person’s character and choices throughout life.

For more than four decades, we have therefore sought to provide an environment where children are encouraged to learn, question, communicate, think independently and take responsibility for their actions.

What We Value

Our aim is not simply to tell children what to do. It is to help them understand why discipline, respect, Kindness, honesty, responsibility and integrity matter.

Discipline

Love and Care

Honesty and Integrity

Respect and Kindness

Courage and Resiliance

Why We Insist on Discipline

Discipline Is Part of Education

We, at St. Thomas Aquinas School believe that discipline is an essential part of a child's education.

The purpose of discipline is not to frighten, humiliate or punish a child. Its purpose is to teach,
correct, guide and prepare the child to make responsible choices.

Children are still developing their understanding of responsibility, consequences and appropriate
behaviour. They therefore need clear expectations, consistent guidance and, when necessary,
correction.

What Does Discipline Mean to Us?

For us, discipline includes:

We expect children to understand that every action has consequences and that responsible behaviour is an important part of growing up.
