Our History
After gaining immense appreciation from parents as a playschool and successfully running since 2008-09 with a strength of 130 kids as Twinkling Stars Play School (now known as Shimmering Stars Play School), we ventured into primary education. The dearth of good CBSE Schools and the motivation & trust of our existing parents has been the driving force behind our foray into high school education.
We have been a pioneer in Pre-schooling based on child psychology in Cuttack offering facilities like Day Boarding with necessary amenities like CCTV Cameras, Transportation, AC rooms etc. for the first time in the city.
Mission
We work with a mission to build humans with character, morale and intelligence.
In this fast-changing competitive world where parents have a hectic life style and also have high expectations from their children, it becomes all the more important that the child should learn the art of staying happy and content from within, the art of handling stress and the art of celebrating togetherness and bonding. These are almost vanishing in the current times and this is certainly not a good sign for our future. Balance Development of a child is what one should aim at. English, Mathematics, Science will always be there but along with that Ashelles Public School believes in inculcating the human values like ethics, empathy, morality and honesty in a child.
Vision
To build an institution which will nurture and polish the academic skills, social skills, soft skills, cognitive skills, communication skills, adaption skills and most importantly the human skills in a child and thereby ensure a strong root and foundation to him/her in the path called LIFE. We envision to create human being with a intelligent and compassionate mind and heart.
Affiliation
Ashelles Public School is a CBSE Pattern School. It has it's recognition from School and Mass Education Department, Govt. of Odisha. The School will apply for CBSE affiliation shortly once the undergoing high school building construction is over.
