Management
The Gaudium is the best international school in Hyderabad because of the backing of professionals with an extensive background in management and a passion for education. It is an eclectic mix of educationists and the finest brains in the country.
K. Nityananda Reddy, Chairman
Over the past 25 years, having been part of the team that created a highly successful multi-billion global healthcare organisation which provides affordable high quality products to people in over 100 countries, I have come to realize that good education alone without conscience and values could bring much harm to the world.
I believe that education is one of man’s greatest transformative powers that need to be constantly honed and improved.
As I engage upon this school venture, my broad aim is to redefine formal education and promote international understanding through it. Education has to be made relevant to the global needs of our time and bring tremendous value to society.
I believe that success follows those who follow their heart, however the environment around us isn’t always suited for nurturing our passions, keeping individuals from realizing their true potential. The focus at The Gaudium is to offer 360º development to students, giving them a nurturing environment with sufficient exposure.
No one is more eager and passionate about your child’s education than you as parents. We therefore extend our support to nurture your passion along with helping your child to bloom into a value added member of society.
Mr. Nityananda Reddy hold’s a Master’s Degree in Chemistry. His vast entrepreneurial skills helped establish Aurobindo Pharma as a name to reckon with in the Pharmaceutical industry. With over 3 decades of managerial acumen under his belt, he has steered the organisations under him towards success in their respective areas. He has also been presented with numerous industry awards and recognitions for his contribution to the industry as well as to the nation’s wealth.
K. Kirthi Reddy, Founder & Director
It gives me immense pleasure to present The Gaudium to you. At The Gaudium we believe that a child’s growth is measured in smiles and achievement is quantified by contentment. In line with this our endeavor is to nurture a child’s innate happiness through education that creates value and equips students with the wisdom to apply what they have learnt joyfully.
Students of The Gaudium, are encouraged to identify and develop their own means of happiness that they take forward into their lives beyond School. Aiding us in our mission is an invigorating learning environment complemented by the finest of facilities and faculty who ensure that students are provided with the right inputs at every level – academic, non-academic, emotional and physical.
As a result of our holistic approach a child stepping out of our institution will not merely excel in his or her chosen career but will also succeed as a well-balanced and culturally enriched human being with a positive approach to life.
At The Gaudium, we don’t believe in merely educating children, our mission is to sculpt happy minds.
An alumnus of Rutgers University, Ms. Kirthi Reddy belongs to the Promoter Group of Aurobindo Pharma, Hyderabad. At Rutgers she was deeply impacted by the environment, structure, processes and, the way learning was done. Of particular interest to her was the convergence of many disciplines, across different walks of life in a seamless manner that encouraged and motivated people to not just assess their strengths and capabilities but also their passion. She saw how the coming together of academics, arts, sports and corporate gave the people opportunities to experiment, learn out of self-interest and finally end in a self-discovery of what moves them – thus giving birth to The Gaudium.
Sudeshna Chatterjee – Head of School
The Gaudium is not just a school, it’s an experience.
Having been an educator who has watched thousands of young lives unfolding, I deeply respect the philosophy of The Gaudium School. The approach to schooling uses the Happy Minds Model to put ‘joyfulness’ at the centre of learning and growing up.
We offer different curricula to our students, in keeping with both national and international choices — aligned to the preferences of the community. However, our school is deeply and fundamentally rooted in the values of our culture. This includes a robust interface with the realities of progress in the fields of science, technology, and social changes that the present century bears witness to.
In defining success for our younger generations and in our efforts at nation-building and of the citizens of the world, let us start with the premise that a happy child today will be a responsible curator of the future of our nation and of the world of tomorrow.
In doing this noble task of raising our students, I am blessed to be working with a illustrious, socially responsible and benevolent management — and a sincere and dedicated cohort of teachers and non-teaching staff. I am also grateful to the parents who have entrusted their cherished children to our care. And to an environment promoting safety, open-mindedness, clear communication, and respect.
Academic rigour remains the focus of our efforts at The Gaudium School. At the same time, we encourage our students to make the best use of the world-class sporting infrastructure provided by the school. We also provide opportunities for fine and performing arts from highly accomplished masters and want our students to thrive and flourish in the pollution-free, green expanses of their alma mater.
“The principal goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done.” —Jean Piaget
