About Us
Welcome to Gorton Mission School Kotgarh
Gorton Mission School has a comprehensive and structured syllabus that emphasizes English proficiency, analytical thinking, and strong theoretical knowledge — giving rural students a solid academic base. We bring high-standard, urban-quality education to rural areas, reducing the education gap between cities and villages. We focus on English language development, helping village students become fluent and confident — crucial for higher education and global opportunities.
We emphasize all-round development, including sports, arts, drama, and project-based learning
Students from our school gain competitive advantage in exams, interviews, and entrance tests due to their academic rigor and communication skills.
We encourage inquiry-based learning, critical thinking, and practical understanding — promoting a modern educational mindset even in rural setups.
The ICSE curriculum aligns well with international standards, preparing students for national/international exams like SAT, TOEFL, and others.
Unlike rote-based systems, we support creativity and expression, helping rural children explores talents beyond textbooks.

Future Project: Hostel and Auditorium:
We are embarking on a future project that is both a timely necessity and an enhancement to our school’s infrastructure. This initiative is tailored to meet our students’ accommodation needs and cultivate a lively cultural atmosphere. Our study has revealed a declining population in the area served by our school, with children either moving to urban regions or areas with colleges. Therefore, the establishment of a quality hostel is not only a viable solution but also a crucial strategy for sustainability.
Hostel
The proposed hostel will provide a comfortable and secure living space for our students. It will feature well-furnished rooms, study areas, and recreational facilities. The design prioritizes the students’ comfort and convenience, ensuring a more conducive environment for both rest and study.
Auditorium
The auditorium will serve as a hub for cultural and academic events, with state-of-the-art acoustics and seating arrangements. It will be an ideal venue for performances, lectures, and gatherings. The auditorium will not only enhance our students’ cultural exposure but also provide a platform for them to showcase their talents.
With a rich historical legacy underpinning its vision, the school continues to evolve while remaining true to its mission of holistic education. The visionary leadership of The Most Revd. Dr. P.K. Samantaroy, Bishop of the Diocese of Amritsar, the Board of Governors, and the 13th Principal, Mrs. Rohini Minhas, have ensured that Gorton Mission School not only honours its past but also paves the way for a brighter future. In an ever-changing world, the school reaffirms its commitment to shaping leaders who are not just knowledgeable but are also compassionate and responsible global citizens.
In the words of its guiding motto, it urges its students not just to survive but to let their light shine brightly in the world
