Principal Message

Dear All,

This is Dr. S. Sujatha Principal of Vaels International School writing to you all. It gives me immense pleasure working for Vaels only to have made a comeback, since I worked here earlier way back between 2006-2009 as a Vice Principal. The years I went out helped me to gain and explore myself as an administrator. It also enabled me to work for different boards and curriculums to gain more knowledge and expertise academically.

Working at Vaels along with the team of teachers who are so academically strong has given me enormous confidence to train and equip the children to face the world at large. The school has successfully produced All India rank holders at the XII ISC level and country toppers at the Cambridge XII A levels.

This credit needs to be given to the school and the faculty who have taken extraordinary steps to nurture the children by giving adequate academic inputs. Students at Vaels take part in every co scholastic and extracurricular activities, where we have about 12 clubs that we run to recognise the abilities of the children. They are given opportunities to show case their talents in every arena be it sports or performing arts. Children love to come to school as they look forward to participating and performing both academically and non-academic activities.

The sports facilities at Vaels like football, tennis, Basketball, Swimming and badminton gives innumerable opportunities for children to pursue sports with passion. Robotics and LIM (Leader in me) programme are value addition which makes children handle the critical thinking areas confidently and brings about a wholesome development in every child at Vaels. I feel much privileged and honoured to work in such a reputed organisation under the auspices guidance and mentoring of my dear Chairman Sir Dr. Ishari K. Ganesh and Dr. Arthi Ganesh who have placed their trust in my leadership. I will continue to give my best to keep the Vaels flag fly high and strive always to scale the institution to greater heights.

Dr. S Sujatha
