We are living in an accelerating world of change in every area of life. We in Olive Public School believe that such changes call for new ways of learning and thinking if we are to thrive in the world during the eras to come. The directions our society is taking and the future of our planet demands such new minds able to explore creative alternatives for problems that cannot be anticipated.

We educate for understanding. We define understanding as the capacity (knowledge, skills, concepts, and facts) learned in the school context, SHOULD be used in a new context in a place where the child has not been forewarned that he should make use of that knowledge.

Hence we at Olive public school strongly believe and thrust our teachers to identify rich ideas, explore them in multiple ways and give students much opportunity to assess their own learning, that there is a chance for education for understanding. The opportunity for education for understanding is not going to be seized unless we people think differently about what school can be like, what can be studied, how it can be taught and how it can be learned. After all, the important goal of education is to help children use their minds better and their intelligence for good.
