Insha Nishad
President – Pearl Wisdom School, Dubai

Stepping into my second year as President at Pearl Wisdom School has been a defining chapter in my journey—one that has deepened my understanding of leadership and strengthened my connection to the school community.
In my first year, I focused on finding my voice and becoming responsible. This year, I’ve learned to use that voice to create impact. I’ve moved beyond personal growth to focus on collective progress—bringing students together, bridging communication, and ensuring every voice is heard. Whether leading assemblies, organizing events, or navigating challenges with my peers, I’ve come to appreciate that leadership is less about being in front and more about walking alongside others.
This role has taught me that change doesn’t always come in big moments; often, it’s in the quiet consistency of showing up, supporting others, and staying true to your values. I’m grateful to Pearl Wisdom School for shaping me to who I am and trusting me to help shape the experiences of others.

To hold the position of Vice President twice in a row at Pearl Wisdom School, Dubai, is both an honour and a responsibility. This role is not about recognition or a title but a genuine commitment to fulfilling the school’s mission and contributing to its success stories.

Over time, I have evolved from being a critical observer to an active problem solver. I actively participate in events and take immense pride in being part of the change we envision for our school.

One of the aspects I truly appreciate is how my voice, and that of every student, is valued. Students’ ideas are not only heard but also taken into consideration, fostering a culture of collaboration.

Parvathi Prasanth
Director – Learning, Pearl Wisdom School

“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.” – Benjamin Franklin

I’m Parvathi Prasanth, and I believe that real learning goes far beyond textbooks and tests—it begins when a student feels seen, heard, and empowered. As the Director of Learning at Pearl Wisdom School, my role is to nurture an environment where curiosity is celebrated, creativity is encouraged, and every child is inspired to discover their full potential.
My journey in education has taken me through diverse roles, classrooms, and communities over the past 15 years—each one teaching me something new about how children learn, and more importantly, why they learn. I’ve always been drawn to the heart of the learning process: the spark in a student’s eyes when they understand something deeply, or the excitement of a teacher who’s discovered a new way to connect with their learners.
At Pearl Wisdom School, we blend strong academic foundations with a value-driven, child-centred approach. Our goal is to raise not just knowledgeable students, but thoughtful, compassionate individuals who are ready to contribute meaningfully to the world. I work closely with our dedicated educators to design learning experiences that are engaging, reflective, and relevant to the lives our students lead.
What excites me most is that each day brings a new opportunity—to listen, to learn, and to lead with purpose. Together with our vibrant school community, we are building something truly special: a place where wisdom is more than knowledge—it is kindness, courage, and character in action.
Welcome to Pearl Wisdom School. Let’s learn, grow, and make a difference—together.

Mannah Rose Juby
Executive Officer –Antibullying

Being entrusted with the role of Executive Officer for Anti-Bullying is an honour I once thought was beyond my reach. This was made possible by the unwavering support and encouragement of my peers. This role isn’t just a title, it’s a responsibility to help foster a safe, respectful environment for all students at Pearl Wisdom School.
I believe every student has a voice that deserves to be valued, heard, and respected. Having experienced what it feels like to be picked on and teased by those around me, I understand the importance of having someone students can relate to and confide in.
Joining Pearl Wisdom School was a big step for me—leaving behind old companions and starting over. At first, I was hesitant and reserved, reluctant to open up. But with the support of my mentors and peers, I was encouraged to take on new challenges, participate in discussions, and engage in school programs. The positive reinforcement helped me discover the best version of myself. I’ve become a more active and involved student—committed to tackling problems, contributing meaningfully, and staying engaged.
As I take on this role, I’m eager to work with the Student Executive Team to build a safe, inclusive environment—one where our zero-tolerance policy on bullying is upheld, and where awareness, empathy, and kindness are promoted throughout the student body.

I truly owe it to Pearl Wisdom School for nurturing me into a self-confident and vibrant individual.
I am someone who always prioritizes safety and understands the importance of health. However, I believe that is not enough—I must also ensure that everyone around me is equally aware and mindful. I feel responsible for making sure our school is a safe space for all, where both physical safety and mental well-being are valued and protected.
As a dedicated and responsible individual, I am committed to maintaining a safe and healthy environment where every student feels at home—where school truly becomes a second home.

I am truly grateful to Pearl Wisdom School for the warm welcome and continuous encouragement I received since the day I joined. As a relatively quiet and introverted child, I initially found it challenging to step out of my comfort zone. However, the nurturing environment and supportive teachers helped me uncover my hidden potential and gave me the confidence to grow. Thanks to the school’s encouragement, I was selected for several prestigious competitions and events, including the BME English Declamation Competition, the NMS MUN 2024 and the BME Hindi Poetica among many others. These opportunities have helped me evolve not only as a student but also as a confident speaker, a team player, and a young leader.

I have a deep interest in exploring the rich culture and heritage of the UAE, as well as learning about global cultures and perspectives. In this role, I aim to represent our school with pride, curiosity, and cultural appreciation. Alongside my academic journey, I actively participate in various student activities and am pursuing my passions in singing and The Indian Classical Kathak dance. Balancing studies with extracurricular interests has helped me grow holistically, and I remain committed to giving my best in every area.
Pearl Wisdom School has played a vital role in shaping who I am today, and I am truly thankful for the opportunities, support, and inspiration it continues to provide.

Gouthamkrishnan Rajesh
Director of Sports

When I first joined Pearl Wisdom School three years ago, I was content being a quiet observer—reluctant to voice my opinions or step beyond the routine of schoolwork. Speaking up, taking initiative, or putting myself forward felt intimidating.
Over time, however, Pearl Wisdom School, Dubai has transformed me into someone more confident, proactive, and engaged. The supportive environment here gently encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone, explore my potential, and embrace challenges. Through encouragement from teachers, camaraderie with peers, and active participation in school events—especially sports and inter-school competitions—I began to discover my voice and the importance of teamwork, resilience, and leadership.
Serving as the Director of Sports is a proud continuation of that journey. It’s both an honour and a responsibility to represent a school that has played such a vital role in shaping who I am. This role has allowed me to promote physical fitness, teamwork, and school spirit, while inspiring others to push their limits and uncover their potential—not just on the field, but in all areas of life.
