“Passion is the genesis of genius.” — Tony Robbins

Every time a child becomes passionate about their dream and determines to follow its path, a genius is born. Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Every child has the potential to reach for the stars, to change the world within them.

Keeping the importance of multi-dimensional learning in mind, we at YS Public School believe in providing equal opportunities for academics and co-curricular activities for the overall development of every child. Our dedicated team of experts is always ready to provide their expertise to nurture the individual talents hidden within each child.

Specialized schools dedicated to studying music, dance or theatre is a dream which till now was reserved only for those who could afford to travel abroad and study in foreign schools and universities.YSP School now brings that very opportunity to your doorstep with the fabulous event: Teen Fest. Dedicated to all the dreamers, achievers, and performers, this is a clarion call for the Gen-Z, to showcase their talents and win a once in a lifetime opportunity to transform their life and build a career of their own choice.

We, the members of YS Public School, warmly welcome you to this mega-event of the year. So, bring along the instruments, warm up those vocal cords, put on the dancing shoes and stage up those props and costumes. We are buzzing to go and hope to meet you here!

After all, as Eleanor Roosevelt said, “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”
