Kids' Foundation School

Kids'’ Foundation School nestled in the heart of Chongkham was established on 9th April 1987 and initially housed in the old residential building of Chow Tewa Mein, Managing Director and now Chairman and his wife Nang Bijeyta Mein, the Secretary. Slowly but steadily it developed into an institution of reckoning though the journey was through tough as well as glorious times. What started with only three teachers and thirty four students grew into a family of hundreds of students and dozens of teaching staffs. With the satisfactory reflections shown in its very nascent years the rush for admission to the school increased manifold and burgeoned. So in order to accommodate every interested child into the institute, in the year 1995 the school had to be bifurcated into two sections with junior section form Classes Play House to V being retained at Chongkham. The senior section from Classes VI to X was shifted to a new facility at Alubari in a genteel environment just few kilometers away. In this current academic session, the number of students in the junior section considerably increased to 392 students. With enrolment of 198 students in the senior section, the family now comprises of 590 students, 26 teachers and 44 non teaching staffs. Kids'’ Foundation School run under the aegis of Kids'’ Foundation Society, the society established with the motto of “Instruction and diffusion of useful knowledge” was and still is engrossed in the philosophy of shaping its students into global citizens fit for shouldering future challenges, responsibilities and to be self reliant in taking positive decisions. The institution got its NOC from the Government of Arunachal Pradesh on 27th June 1995 with NOC no. EDA/110/93-94. It has got the recognition from CBSE, Delhi. It was affiliated by CBSE, Delhi vide affiliation no. 2230017 on 1st April 1999. The school is lucky to have Principal like Shri S.N. Buragohain, Ex DDSE, Lohit District, Arunachal Pradesh and award winning teacher Shri A.K.C. Pillai, who with their dedication and hard labour made the school one of the best school in the region. The concept of Day Boarding and Baggage Free schooling programmes are just the two innovative ideas put into practice by the school which were designed to suit the increasing demand of lessening the child’s burden in the process of learning. Day Boarding, a unique system has been introduced from the year 2011 for the students of primary level, where the burden of study at home by students is taken care of by the school through extra coaching after normal school hours. The programme is beneficial for the parents and guardians who in this hectic world can feel secure of their children’s foundation and growth without making their personal intervention. Meals are also provided under this programme by the school at a very low cost. Keeping in mind the security concern and to monitor the activities of its students, the school installed CCTV cameras. As an initiative for uplifting the girl child, the school management has adopted a girl child and all related academic expenses are borne by the school management. At last I, would like to end up with the quotes of ‘Rabindranath Tagore’- “Children are living beings- more living than grown-up people who have built shells of habit around themselves. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary for their mental health and development that they should not have mere schools for their lessons, but a world whose guiding spirit is personal love”.
