Program of Excellence

At Umeed Global School, we believe in the limitless potential of every child. We envision an education that empowers students to become changemakers and leaders who uplift others, build institutions, and contribute meaningfully to their community, society and to the nation at large. Our goal goes beyond preparing children for the job market; we aim to nurture institution builders and visionary leaders.

We believe that education must serve a greater purpose. The true vision of Umeed Global School is to nurture and prepare community leaders, particularly from the Muslim minority community, a community that, in present-day India, is more often a beneficiary than a benefactor, more on the receiving end than contributing actively to nations development.

Today, Muslims make up 14% of India’s population, roughly 21 crore people. Yet, their concrete and substantial contribution to nation-building remains limited. Imagine nearly a fifth of the population unable to contribute meaningfully to the nation’s progress, the result is a loss of immense potential and a serious impediment to the country’s overall growth. What Umeed Global School is doing is a great service to the nation. Umeed Global School is preparing a huge population, who have been denied, deprived, and systematically marginalised, to be in the capacity to contribute. We are on a mission to train and equip this minority community to become contributors. This underrepresentation, marginalization, denial and deprivation of the Muslim minority is not accidental but systematic. They have been well-documented in government reports such as the Sachar Committee Report, the Ranganathan Committee Report and the Kundu Committee Report, which reveal the deep-rooted social, educational, and economic backwardness of Muslims in India.

With this backdrop in mind, and in light of Articles 28, 29, and 30 of the Indian Constitution, Umeed Global School was established. We started with the conviction that merely providing education is not enough, rather aiming for excellence should be our goal. If our children go on to become just another part of the crowd, chasing jobs and living out the same scripts written by the “education factories”, then our efforts lose meaning. Our mission is different. We aim to create community leaders, students who do not just succeed individually, but who uplift others.

The Three Pillars of the Program of Excellence

Our Program of Excellence is built on three foundational pillars that work together to shape the next generation of changemakers:

Our commitment to academic excellence is driven by a larger purpose, to prepare students with the knowledge and skills they need to lead, think critically, and be able to bring impactful change. We offer the CBSE curriculum enriched with advanced pedagogical methods and modern assessment strategies, seamlessly integrated with STEM education, an Innovation and Technology Lab where students learn Robotics, Drone Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Coding and 3D Designing and Printing, and comprehensive Entrepreneurship Development Programs. Our Mentorship Program brings in some of the best minds across the country to guide and inspire our students. We are supported by a team of highly qualified teachers who ensure this vision is delivered effectively in every classroom. Alongside academic rigor, we actively foster 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, communication, collaboration, creativity, digital literacy, and emotional intelligence, skills essential for success in a rapidly changing world.
Our aim is to send our students to India’s Ivy League Colleges, the Institutes of National Importance (INIs), from where they can graduate as contributors to society and equal stakeholders in the future of the nation.

Tarbiyah is not just moral instruction, it is a wholesome program designed at our school, a comprehensive nurturing of character, ethics, and humanity. At UGS, we focus on the upbringing (tarbiyah) of our students to ensure that academic brilliance is balanced by compassion, humility, and social responsibility. In the process of making our students academically excellent, we do not want them to lose the essence of their humanity and become mere high-performing individuals without a heart. Our aim is to raise thoughtful, grounded human beings who carry both intellect and empathy.

“Fikr” is an Arabic word that cannot be exactly translated to English,but the closest translation is a deep, internal concern, reflection and contemplation for the community.
We instill in our students a sense of responsibility toward their people, to look beyond their own success and care deeply about the state and upliftment of the community. We instill fikr in our students through continuous dialogue centered on the school’s mission and vision. Through this, we aim to raise leaders with vision, empathy, and purpose.

At Umeed Global School, our Program of Excellence is designed to ensure that every graduating student emerges as an institution builder, a community leader who, in turn, nurtures future leaders. We are not here to undermine those who are preparing children for jobs, they are doing meaningful work too. But our work is of a different nature. Our goal is not just that our students earn a living and support their families, but that they go beyond, giving back to their community, society, and nation at large.
