Mrs Reshma Bhattacharya, a post graduate in Comparative Literature , B.Ed and certificate holder in Educational Administration from Jadavpur University, is an experienced and passionate educator. With gentle hands and a caring spirit, she has been nurturing young minds at IVWS since its inception. Being the founder Vice Principal, she has been instrumental in the steady growth of the school. Her breadth of interest lies in providing the children with a joyful and wholesome learning experience.Leading from the heart, she is a strong believer that every child is a winner and that there are no under achievers. With an undying faith to unlock the potential in each child, imparting holistic education is not just a promise but a practice she determinedly upholds.. Moreover, she feels a sense of pride in being a member of the institution where learning is not relegated to text books, but intended to be engaging, thought provoking and, most importantly, relevant. Embracing the ideals of collaboration, compassion and originality, Mrs Bhattacharya strongly believes that the race for quality has no finish line and it is all about becoming better with each passing day.
At the heart of the 22 even years of my teaching career, the most rewarding experience has been building strong relationships and catalysing communication with the staff, students and the families I have served. Reminiscing on the journey of IVWS for more than a decade now, it gives me immense joy and pride to be associated with this institution, right from its inception. I feel delighted to be a part of the IVWS family and uphold the tradition of involvement and collaboration with all its stakeholders, sharing joy and happiness as much as challenges and crises. We at IVWS believe that a school’s formative influence extends beyond the formal education that it is known to provide. To make the best use of the promise evident in our students, it is imperative that we train them to aim for academic excellence as well as cultivate their practical wisdom to function as well-rounded personalities. Life skills awareness and value-oriented learning along with a plethora of co-curricular activities providing opportunities for self – expression are integrated into the curriculum to prevent the pursuit of knowledge being relegated to a mere gathering of information. Aligned to our mission in nurturing the whole child, is our endeavour to instil qualities of empathy and resilience in our students and caring for their social and emotional well-being. Most of all, we see education as a way of life and living. We strive to create opportunities so that every student leaves school well – equipped to achieve individual goals and with a sense of commitment, social responsibility and an undeterred drive for exploration.

Yet, some things remain timeless – the innocent smiles of children, their curious faces, and their warm hugs. I feel blessed to be an educator, empowering young souls and creating possibilities. My experience as a short-term scholar at California State University reinforced the wisdom shared by my mentor, Sister M.Cyril Mooney: children remain the same, regardless of geographical boundaries. Classes in the US mirrored my Indian classroom – a testament to our shared humanity. The learning programs at CSU – Multiple Intelligence, Service Learning, Equity, and Equality – strengthened my approach. I incorporated these concepts into my lesson plans, realizing that Gen Z craves hands-on learning and technical expertise. Beyond textbooks, I have fostered experiential learning through competitions, programmes, and campaigns. Channeling energy into positive directions has yielded remarkable outcomes. One proud achievement is “Nurturing Young Minds in STEM,” a project supported by the US Consulate and American Centre. We created 600 young STEM Champions, who continue to excel.
To my dear students:
Stand with candor and confidence.Compete with your best self.Be uniquely you.Pursue excellence; success will follow.Keep smiling, enjoy yourself.
You are the best!”
