Salt Brook Jorhat was started in 1963 by an English lady Miss R. E. Gess who wanted to impart education in English to the students of Jorhat, Assam. From its inception, the school has been running smoothly and gaining popularity day by day. Earlier, it was running as a Primary school till class VI. After her demise and inspired by her thoughts, idea, and action, the society, which is now running the school, had decided to make the school a Secondary and Senior Secondary School under C.I.S.C.E, Delhi.
The primary aim of the school is to give its pupils an education in keeping with the culture and tradition of the country. They are trained to realize their responsibilities and to develop a strong civic sense or spirit that will prepare them for leadership in the society to which they belong. The greatest emphasis is placed on the knowledge and love of the Almighty, the formation of a true moral conscience, appreciation of family life and the service to their country.
SBJ aims at providing education that enables learners to have great focus, excellent communication, true leadership qualities, parallel thinking, proactive approach, positive attitude, and ability to manage failure and stress.
Salt Brook Jorhat believes in a student centric approach where the priority is given to the students. All-round development of the child is taken care of where the academic, physical, emotional, social and spiritual responsibilities are inculcated in the students so that they can become a complete person ready to face the society. All activities whether academic, cultural, physical are conducted in both the branches. Transport facilities are available in both the branches. We have to keep in mind that there is always a ray of sunlight at the end of a dark tunnel which raises hope. The teachers, parents and elders must work together to refresh the young minds and inculcate in them the necessity of friendship, respect, feeling of brotherhood and above all happiness and joy. We have to infuse in students to have a formative mind and openness to realize the difference between good and not so good. We have to be careful to see that their brain is not filled with clutter and cleanse it with positive and good thoughts, imagination and creative thinking which will ultimately bring a transformation in them to an attitude of gratefulness, patience, tolerance and understanding. The students have to be made to believe that their clarity of thought and intellect will guide them to take the right decision in their lives. A person whose mind is unrestrained will not be able to reach his destination and attain his goal. Students, to reach the end of a successful journey, you have to put maximum effort to rein your mind and guide to all good things in life. Let us usher in a new tomorrow with hope, love and happiness in abundance.
