Vision & Mission
The principles that guide every decision we make at Ugyen Academy.
School Vision and Mission
In the present milieu — with the erosion of values and lowering of standards in most institutions — UA stands out as a school with a strong value system and a code of conduct and discipline based on mutual respect. We uphold our founder’s vision and stress on total development — head, hand and heart.
We are deeply committed to instilling in our students positive traits like self-discipline and social harmony that will lead to Gross National Happiness and Global Peace. In the end, we aspire to develop a good human being.
The School Aims To
Four guiding aims that shape how we teach, mentor and grow every learner who walks through our gates.
Provide a caring, happy, secure and purposeful education setting that supports optimum academic, personal and social development.
Explain and make sense of the various influences that bear upon the student, and promote self-discipline based on mutual respect.
Prepare students to take up various educational opportunities throughout their lives — within and beyond the context of work — and develop a positive attitude towards life, facing it with confidence as a lifelong learner.
Promote in students the core values and ethos of our society and take pride in being a Bhutanese.
Mutual Respect & Discipline
An environment built on trust
UA aims to ensure an environment conducive to teaching and learning — with positive student-to-student, teacher-to-teacher, student-to-teacher and parent-to-teacher interactions grounded in core Bhutanese values. We believe that students need to understand that rules exist to safeguard the school environment we envisage. Our rules are decentralised, and students take ownership of the rules they frame.
The school is sincerely engaged in practising Positive Discipline (PD) measures in order to inculcate in our learners the value that freedom comes with responsibility. More recently, the school has initiated “Student Observation” — a system that keeps track of student behaviour. Our school climate and culture are aligned with “Educating for GNH”, and we are well known for our restorative practice — the Responsible Thinking Room (RTR).
“We develop head, hand and heart — and in the end, we aspire to develop a good human being.”
