Charity brings to life again those who are spiritually dead."--Thomas Aquinas
- Arden Progressive School has always strongly opposed commercialization of education. Working purely as a charitable organization, it spent around Rupees 36 Lacks in providing economic support to 91 children in the academic year 2019-2020. 36 students were benefitted under the School’s educational scholarship program while another 55 students, who were either physically challenged or came from economically weaker background, were taken care of through other measures.
- The paternalistic style of functioning of School management ensured that all the members of the staff (Teaching, Non-Teaching and Subordinates) receive their entire salaries / wages (with no cuts) despite the Covid -19 pandemic. It has also been ensured by the school that no staff is taken off the job due to the prevailing situation.
- Our School also helps nearby schools with NCERT books.
