About Us
Amritsar Public School was established in 1998, affiliated to CBSE in 2003 and upgraded to Senior Secondary Level in 2007, growing in stature every year. The commitment of the management, staff, students and support of the parents has brought laurels and helped achieve excellence in academics and co-curricular activities. The school now has a distinct place of respect on the education map of Amritsar.
We live in a world that is driven by market forces and technology, such that we have to also keep evolving to keep pace with these forces. Our students need to be so groomed that they can grasp the challenges of the real world and be successful citizens and role models for the country. The growth of our school is linked with the growth of our students. We realize the responsibility that rests with us and we ensure that the teaching methodology, methods of evaluation, systems of education are kept in tune with the changes. Our children deserve the best and that is what we promise to give them.
APS renowned academic pre-eminence is a result of pupils learning the skills of intellectual enquiry and debate and applying them well beyond the syllabus. We are a close knit community of students, parents and teachers working towards one goal–Education. Life of a student at APS involves the basic Principles of life blended well with values and education through our safe environment. The school is very active in development of overall personality of the children. We avail all opportunities to showcase the talent of the students and to encourage them to be confident, proactive and multi-skilled besides their pursuit of the academic curriculum.
We believe in learning the kind that will stand up in future years, occur best in an atmosphere of personal concern. Our highly trained and experienced staff enjoys friendship with students and the warm feelings of mutual trust and esteem that enhances the classroom experience.

“Education is Fundamental to Development”
Education is fundamental to all round development, individual as well as societal. There is no other single phenomenon which affects the hopes and aspirations of individuals or societies in such a big way as education does. It can move mountains, so to say, and alter the destinies of both individuals and nations.
Education is not a neutral or objective enterprise in content, form or function. All of its dimensions are influenced by certain cultural values and convictions about what is important to know and to become, and why? It is a never ending process, interwoven with life, enriching the individual with a variety of experiences. It is the most natural outcome of being alive as we learn with every breath that we take. Every step that a child takes, every word that he speaks, every move that he makes leads to education.
Manjit Singh (General Secretary)
“Life is the first, foremost and greatest educator.”
Apart from this, systematic transmission of information, values, ideals, knowledge that centres of learning accomplish is a major contributor to individual as well as societal development. Schools are responsible for inspiring and cultivating young minds, exploring and developing their innate capabilities. At the same time, they nurture, goodness and instill discipline, hallmarks of true education. They aim to make the learner emotionally stable intellectually vibrant, spiritually enlightened socially committed.
Mrs. Gurpreet Kaur Oberoi (Principal)
“Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of the fire.”
As I look beyond the horizon, I envision Amritsar Public School as a second home which not only provides rich academic environment but also a passion for excellence among the children. Our school has the vibrant classrooms where creativity, ethics, self-analysis and goal setting are the aims for every child. The school is preparing the learners to be unique individuals. We strongly believe that under our guidance the students will have a niche in their personality. The grooming of every child to compete the world has always been our prime concern.
To achieve our goal we require a positive approach from the parents because they help us to recognize the inborn talents of their wards, so that we together can shoulder to push the wheel of success and glory for every child of APS. Parents are the major contributors in our endeavor. We encourage parents’ active participation, feedback, so that together we can create a wonder child.
Those parents who opt for our School for their sons and daughters will have an astonishing range of opportunities beyond the classroom for example in music, drama, debating and sport. Pupils are keen to look forward as well and contribute in the life of the local community. At APS we nurture the individuals in a manner that they are ready to face the innumerable challenges of life. What they have in common is that they emerge from APS as articulate, confident with a strong sense of social responsibility.
