Sticking to its purpose of imparting holistic education at par with international standards, the brand has stood true in delivering quality education in order to produce leaders and entrepreneurs through its teaching methodology, infrastructure and the several levels of education.
“I believe in positive action combined with positive thinking, which results in success,” says Ahefaz Lakhani, Founder and MD, HPS. “I step outside of my comfort zone, plan each day with purpose and action, and surround myself with smart and positive people to focus on the big picture,” he adds. In order to make learning more enjoyable, Ahefaz reveals that they, at HPS, adopt a mixed curriculum of play-way teaching methodology to empower kids with knowledge which is globally accepted, yet locally relevant. “The HPS curriculum provides a truly world-class methodology for a child’s cognitive, physical, emotional, social and spiritual development,” he assures, asserting that it is a playground for children where they dribble with thoughts, ideas and make their imagination work.
He elaborated that their curriculum is child-centric and based on a unique combination of play-way and Montessori methodology, with a sprinkle of High Scope and Waldorf as integrated curriculum.This is how HPS stands apart from its competitors in the education sector. Speaking about education always being a learning curve and more, Ahefaz says, “Though I might not be developing strategies, my children share the issues they are facing in the education system. This in turn helps me to stay connected with what needs to be set right.
Committed to the Future
What also helps a great deal is the support of the entire HPS team. “Our staff is highly talented, knowledgeable, dedicated, motivated, success-oriented and committed. They have a passion for developing and implementing the right education system to shape the career and future of the current generation with respect to the society in which they are living,” he says. With the business having an advantage of being able to make choices and implement changes without the exhaustive process and conflicting point of views that slow down major corporations, Ahefaz feels that one needs to anticipate the market and customers’ needs and constantly innovate to stay ahead. “This requires leadership with agility, resilience and a willingness to fail as well as recognise that failure quickly enough to adapt and move forward,” he points out.
The world has become more connected and parents are becoming increasingly aware of the need to prepare their children to be future-ready for the competitive world. “While learning comes naturally to children, HPS facilitates and builds on this natural learning ability by making learning smart, secure and simulating. This is done by providing high-quality education and by maintaining proper infrastructure so that the children feel at home,” he says.
