PSG Public Schools, Coimbatore, aims to educate its children to have such an understanding that they will give no offence to others, while fulfilling the highest ideals of which they are capable. They should appreciate the difference between right and wrong, and be familiar with the accepted social and moral codes of behaviour. They have a most hearty contempt for all the sneak-thief vices, such as cheating, pilfering, tale bearing and petty revenge, and have made up their minds that they will be happier telling the truth and suffering than telling lies and going scot-free. They should be prepared to resist the yoke of superstition and custom, to use their own initiative, and to accept discipline, responsibility and leadership. They should outgrow the fear of unpopularity or maintaining independent opinion. They should have increasing opportunities, as they grow older, to take charge, to organize, to act on their own and, in consequence, to make mistakes and learn from them.
They should know that education cannot be divorced from standards of social behaviour. Their good manners should be as reliable in the company of their inferiors as of their superiors or equals. They should feel quite at home with strangers, both men and women, and be able to take part in an intelligent conversation without shyness or aggression. They should find happiness in good fellowship and friendliness, and while slow to make friends, should be slower still to make enemies. They should have their temper and emotions under control but never be afraid of righteous anger.
