Welcome to Vijay International School Praslin, Seychelles.

It is a great privilege to be the Head Teacher at this wonderful school. I look forward to working with our students, families and the community to continue to develop our school in the years to come, building on the strong foundations already in place since it opened in 2008.

Throughout my career in education, I have placed a great emphasis on creating a school environment that is first and foremost a safe and happy place to be in. I am passionate about getting to know our students and understanding them as individuals. To be able to reach their full potential, every child deserves to learn in their own unique way, which in turn will provide the foundations for successful learning and development.

I, along with my colleagues, will always put the child at the heart of everything we do. Vijay International School is a school in which every child matters and where the whole child matters. Together, we provide our students with an environment where they feel valued, they feel welcome, where they are inspired and can in turn inspire, and where they feel cared for and develop care for others. Through this approach, we are confident that we can unleash the maximum potential of all our students by developing well-rounded, motivated members of society with the desire to achieve.

The happiness, well-being, and success of all our VISP family members is our ultimate goal.

We look forward to welcoming you into our school and hope that you feel as inspired by the VISP community as the staff who make it the amazing place that it is.
