The Indian School, Al Ghubra, aims to educate its children to have such an understanding that they will give no offence to others, while fulfilling the highest ideals of which they are capable. They should appreciate the difference between right and wrong, and be familiar with the accepted social and moral codes of behaviour. They should have a most hearty contempt for all the sneak-thief vices, such as cheating, pilfering, tale bearing and petty revenge, and have made up their minds that they will be happier telling the truth and suffering than telling lies and going scot-free. They should also have a sensible attitude to dress and appearance. They should be prepared to resist the yoke of superstition and custom, to use their own initiative, and to accept discipline, responsibility and leadership. They should outgrow the fear of unpopularity or maintaining independent opinion. They should have increasing opportunities, as they grow older, to take charge, to organize, to act on their own and, in consequence, to make mistakes and learn from them.
