The lady founder of the school was anxious that traditional Indian values should be instilled in the students. She was also wary of the English language, viewing it as being the vehicle of westernization and loss of cultural values. Therefore, in the articles of association of the school, she made it compulsory to offer Gujarati as a medium of instruction. One section of every class, from first to tenth standards, was for the Gujarati medium and students were taught all subjects in that language. From the time of its founding until the early 2000s, this system prevailed. However, due to lack of demand (presumably), the Gujarati medium-of-instruction classes have now been discontinued and the school has become a completely English Medium School.[ citation needed ]
