West Point School,Bankura, West Bengal
Education is not merely the accumulation of facts; it is the art of nurturing human potential, shaping character, and fostering wisdom. At West Point School, this philosophy is the very foundation upon which we have built a legacy of academic excellence and holistic development. As an English Medium Co Educational institution, West Point School combines the rigor of modern education with a humanistic approach that focuses on man making rather than mere information accumulation.
About Business
1.Our Philosophy: Man Making through Education
At West Point School, we recognize that while animals are products of nature, human potential requires careful nurturing and guidance. From the earliest stages of a child’s development, education must focus on bringing forth the innate capabilities of the individual, molding intellect, character, and creativity.
Inspired by the educational philosophy of F.W.A. Froebel, the founder of the Kindergarten system, our approach begins with Nursery education, emphasizing two fundamental principles:
“The outer inward” helping children understand and internalize the world around them.
“The inner outward” enabling children to express their innate powers, thoughts, and creativity outwardly.
This dual approach ensures that children grow naturally and spontaneously, in harmony with their own unique pace of development.
We also draw inspiration from Rabindranath Tagore’s Shantiniketan, where learning is not confined to classrooms but emerges from an immersive engagement with nature, culture, and creativity. Likewise, the words of Swami Vivekananda resonate deeply with our philosophy:
“Education is not the amount of information that is put into your brain and runs riot there undigested all your life.”
At West Point School, we focus on drawing out the innate powers of children, helping them think critically, act ethically, and grow holistically.
2. From Nursery to Higher Secondary: A Continuum of Learning
West Point School begins its educational journey at the Nursery stage, guiding children through LKG and UKG, and gradually building a strong academic and moral foundation. Our aim is to nurture curiosity, creativity, and confidence in the earliest years of schooling, forming the bedrock for future academic and personal success.
