With the vision that our God gave and the passion of fulfilling it, we (I and my wife) inaugurated The Muneer Social Welfare Society in Delhi on 10th January 1992. With a humble beginning, we have been determined in empowering our society through educating the children of our country. As Nelson Mandela (2003) said, education is the greatest weapon that can be used to change the world; we envision bringing this change in our society, country and the world with great leaders of the future.
We started our first school Grace Academy in 1995 in Sanjay Amar Colony, Delhi to provide education to the children living around the neighborhood. It was our first initiative in bringing people from all castes and creeds together in harmony. After the successful establishment of our first school, we inaugurated schools in Sarita Vihar, New Delhi, then in Loni, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh and Muneer Child Development Center in Kalindi, Purba Medinipur, West Bengal. Moreover, we established vocational centers to help people of our society gain knowledge and develop their skills that generated employment. Programs such as beautician courses, fashion designing and tailoring courses as well as computer courses (basic to advance) are being run in these centers along with adult literacy and non-formal educational programs. The aim of all these educational centers is to educate the young minds of our country so that they develop into responsible individuals with a bright future ahead.
The pivotal role for any institution is to felicitate the holistic development of a child and this is what this institution- The Cornerstone School aims at. Education is a broader concept than merely knowledge and understanding. It is a well-balanced fusion of knowledge, arts, sports, attitudes, creativity, nature, and life itself! And in the world, we have created today, success comes to those who are accomplished in all of these fields. We wish the school to be the rock upon which the weight of each and every child’s future who comes to this school rests upon. Cornerstone is the first stone set in the construction of a masonry foundation. This is the philosophy behind our school. We want our school to be the very foundation upon which the lives of each and every student build upon and to shape the students to face a future that is uncertain. With this inspiration and philosophy, we welcome all the students, parents and staff to our school. Let us work hard together and strive for a better future.
We have always believed that excellence never happens by accident, it is always the outcome of earnest efforts, wise planning and skillful execution.
We wish all students a bright academic future, an illustrious career, and a happy life.
