Education is not the filling of pail, but the lightning of a fire” – W.B. Yeats
At Bagrakote Higher Secondary School, we believe that education is not merely about feeling minds with facts and figures, but about igniting a passion for learning and discovery. As William Butler Yeats eloquently put it as above, this philosophy is at the heart of our educational approach.
Our mission is to foster an environment where students are encouraged to explore, question, and engage with the world around them. We strive to inspire curiosity, creativity and critical thinking, ensuring that each student not only acquires knowledge, but also develops the skills and enthusiasm to apply it in meaningful ways.
We are committed to providing a holistic education that nurtures the intellectual, emotional and social growth of our students. Through innovative teaching methods, a supportive community, and a rich array of extracurricular activities, we aim to cultivate well-rounded individuals who are prepared to make a positive impact on society.
