OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM
The entire school is housed in newly constructed spacious building, for the Senior and Primary sections. The Primary school will have classes I to V and the Secondary school from VI to class XII. The emphasis is laid on the development of a child’s physical, intellectual, emotional, aesthetic and social aspects of personality. The children are offered ample opportunities for learning by doing, and the children’s individual progress in monitored closely. There are no formal tests and examinations, no tedious homework to complete at home and no odious comparisons within the peer group in terms of position and percentages.
Early childhood education
The methodology of child-centered education extends beyond the ECE to other classes in the Primary school is that the children from age 6 onward are also motivated to learn by doing, rather than depending on rote memory. The project method of learning is adopted in order to sustain and internalize learning. The curriculum that is evolved for each class focuses attention on academic excellence on the one hand, and overall development of human personality on the other.
Curricular and Co-Curricular activities
Education at all levels is also viewed today as an acquisition of skills rather than bookish knowledge. As such, the curriculum imposes the imperative of including in it, a variety of activities that impart skills which can form the basis for a career later on. It is with purpose in mind that all sorts of activities such as art and craft, music, dance and drama, yoga and mass PT, display of fitness and the learning of computers etc. are included in the curriculum. Children are encouraged to be analytical, creative and expressive.
