Learning at P.E.S Modern High School is based on the fundamental principles of life, teaching the children to be courageous, confident, disciplined, responsible and loyal.  Our philosophy of education has always been meeting the needs of the child. Children acquire skills and knowledge easily if we can make the surrounding stimulating and purposeful. In such a surrounding when work and effort is valued, the child’s self-esteemed is heightened and from this results self-motivation.

In this era of tough competition, it is of great importance to impart an integral education to the future citizens of the nation for successfully facing multitasking. P.E.S. Modern High School, (Eng. Med) therefore lays special emphasis on both curricular and co-curricular activities. Our goal at Modern is to provide an enriching, engaging curriculum that will prepare our students for success. This has come true with our 100% results in the S.S.C Board Examinations for constantly 21 years. Not only school results but students are also shining in many competitive examinations like the Scholarship Exam, T.M.V English and Marathi Exam, various Olympiads, etc.Sports has been an integral part in Modern.

Today the role of a school is not only to pursue academic excellence but also to motivate and empower its students to be a life-long learner, critical thinkers and productive members of an ever-changing society. More than a decade back Modern pledged to transform education. The school that is being run under the aegis of well-established Management, “Progressive Education Society” has earned its niche not only in Pune but across the globe. At Modern we provide an atmosphere to our students for multifaceted development, where children are encouraged to channelize their potential in the pursuit of excellence.

The school is striving hard to make the best possible efforts to inculcate strong values combining with academics, sports and extra-curricular activities in children. Converting every individual into a self-reliant and independent citizen. Children need a supportive environment at home and at school. They need to set goals, within their reach until they gain confidence and determination they should re-examine their priorities, set clean goals and make specific plans to achieve what they desire. We are constantly improving our methodology so that it turns learning into combination of classroom study, research and scientific discovery.

While academic excellence is our major thrust, the school is also devoted to prepare the students for life. This has proven right as the school has set a record of 21 years uninterrupted 100% results in S.S.C Board Exams. Not only in S.S.C. Exam have our students sparkled in Scholarship Exam and other Competitive Examinations. Sports has always been an integral part of Modern and this year two students have brought laurels to school in various fields like Master Chaitanya Phalke bagged the gold medal in International Yoga Competition held in Malaysia. Miss PruthaVartikar is our youngest gem winning Nationals in Table Tennis. This year the school is recorded with four students receiving National and 30 students winning State Championship. At Modern students are encouraged to explore their talents in various competitions like Drama Competition, Quiz Competition, etc. The greatest achievement of the school this year was to bag the prestigious PMC Award for “Clean School” among 461 entries Modern High School was selected the best school. The Award was given by the hands of Hon. Mayor Mrs. MuktaTilak. The school has witnessed a lot of infrastructural changes. This Silver Jubilee Year, the school is proud to have well equipped and lavish pavilion on the school playground. The pavilion is given the name of Late. Smt. Shashikala. R. Ekbote, Mother of Hon. Dr. G.R. Ekbote Chairman of P.E. Society. This great success of Modern would not have been possible with the great support and guidance of our Hon. Dr. G.R. Ekbote sir, Chairman of P.E. Society. He has always been a great strength for us, Hon. Prof. Jyotsana Ekbote Chairperson School Committee Hon. Prof. Shyamkant Deshmukh Secretary of P.E. Society and Hon. Prof Dr. P.G.

I thank the parents for having bestowed their faith and confidence in us. Your faith in us is our driving force. I am confident enough that, ‘Modernites’ will make themselves stronger day by day, adding a new leaf to the grandeur of the school. I would like to end with the thoughtful words of Albert Einstein-

“Imagination is more important than knowledge for while knowledge defines all that we currently know and understand imagination points to all we might yet discover and create”.

With best wishes and blessing.
