Library
“Libraries store the energy that fuels the imagination. They open up windows to the world and inspire us to explore and achieve and contribute to improve our quality of life.” – Sidney Sheldon
A library is a paradise for students which opens the world of wisdom for them. It is like an island in the middle of a vast sea of ignorance. Considering the importance of libraries in the lives of students, our school libraries have been designed to provide a dynamic and flexible space that is innovatively designed with best practices and research in mind where students can explore and use various resources in different formats. They are well stocked with a wide collection of books and periodicals on various subjects and are steered to encourage and promote a love of reading in our students. The fiction collection of our libraries aims to meet all interests and reading levels. They are open for parents on fourth Saturday from 09:30 am to 2:30 pm.

Visual Arts
A comprehensive art education provides a rich and engaging curriculum that develops pupils’ abilities to think, reason and understand the world and its cultures. It offers pupil opportunities to respond, perform, and create. Art instils a routine that lasts for lifetime: analytical skills, problem-solving ability, perseverance, and a drive for excellence. The creative skills children develop through art carry them towards new ideas, new experiences, and new challenges, as well as offering personal satisfaction. This is the intrinsic value of our Art Programme.
We believe art gives expressions to our understanding, imagination, and creativity. As the world we inhabit is getting smaller, faster, and more competitive, these qualities are increasingly important. Art is an integral part of a complete, successful, and high-quality education. The study of art enhances intellectual, personal, and social development of today’s youth.
The Six Strands Of The Curriculum Are:
- Drawing which allows creation, expression, clarifying thought and communication.
- Paint and colour which provides an appreciation and understanding of colour leading to expression of experience, interest and imaginative ideas as well as an awareness of colour in their own work like craft and design objects.
- Print encourages a focus on inventive and functional graphic processes.
- Clay gives opportunities to form and change a material imaginatively. Clay is tangible, changeable, under our control in a world that often feels out of our control.
- Construction activities provide opportunities to explore the media of 3-D, balance, and an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of a particular structure.
- Fabric and fibre encourage the child to explore some of the design processes in craft and appreciate various craft materials. While the development of ideas through imagery provides a balance to other subject areas in the curriculum, the visual arts curriculum must provide challenge and motivation.
The six strands of the visual arts curriculum include the two-strand units: making art and responding to art.
Conference Room
This decision-accelerator room is used for meetings, video conferencing, seminars, debates, workshops, lectures, data presentations, board meetings, in-house meeting, monthly/yearly reviews, conferences of the Managing Committee, staff and students. This spacious hall always pulsates with ideas during knowledge sharing and brainstorming sessions.
Performing Arts
We wish to establish a thriving musical culture in school. A wealth of scientific research over the last decade has proved that music education is a powerful tool for attaining children’s full intellectual, social
and creative potential. Music gives children a means to express themselves to unleash their creativity, and to be inspired by their own boundless capacity for personal growth.
At The Formal Level
Music is compulsory for the first seven years of a pupil’s life in the school from 3+ (Pre-School) to 11 + (Class V). In these critically important years, children are exposed to music every day. The programme is not confined to the more common set of songs or nursery rhymes sung in the traditional fashion, rather the young ones are trained to differentiate simple notations (alankar), rhythm (laya), and beats (tala). Our pre-school orchestra of four-and-five-years old includes 8 simple instruments such as dholak, tambourine, triangle, jhunjhuna kartal, cymbals, dandia and the most ancient of rhythm ‘instrument’ clapping. Between the ages 11+ and 13+ pupils are offered Music as one of the options. Those choosing to pursue Music at this stage master ragas, talas and are knowledgeable about our musicians of today, a brief history of Hindustani and Carnatic styles. They also build up a good collection of different types of songs. For those opting for Music at the advanced stage of Class IX and X under the 10+2 system, the emphasis is on the theory of Music. The standard that they attain is that of diploma from reputed Music Academies.
At The Informal Level
The ‘stuti’ may be in Sanskrit or Hindi and is invariably sung (rather than recited) by a special trained choir. The songs may be a bhajan, a seasonal song, a patriotic song, a folk song, an inspiring song expressing a beautiful thought or a philosophy, Rabindra sangeet, etc. Songs may be in Hindi, Bengali, Bhojpuri, Gujrati, Assamese, Pahari, Marathi, Rajasthani, Malyalam, Telugu, Tamil, Sanskrit etc. The community Shloka with which we end the assembly is usually a thought expressed in four lines, sung by the entire school as one and rendered in simple music.
At the Informal Level among other things, is the morning assembly that consists of
- A Stuti
- Songs
- A community shloka

Activity Room - Montessori Wing
“Education is a natural process carried out by the child and is not acquired by listening to words but by experiences in the environment.”
– Maria Montessori.
It is believed that the maximum development and growth of a child’s brain is made in the early years. Young children learn best by experimenting with their environment through hands-on activities and play, which is why learning centers are such a vital part of the preschool.
- Experiential learning brings together observation, creativity, critical thinking and active interaction into early years of education. It allows young learners to enhance their language skills and other social skills.
- Keeping this in mind, an integrated resource lab created where children get hands-on experience for better learning.
The lab provides an opportunity to pre- primary and lower primary students to experience a student-centric hands-on methodology.
Children develop their motor skills by tying and untying laces and bows, zipping and unzipping zippers, and fastening and unfastening buckles.
Sensorial learning is a teaching-learning approach that stimulates the child’s five senses; taste, touch, smell, sight, and hearing. This allows children to use their senses to explore and understand the world around them. Montessori Sensorial Materials are creative tools or toys used in a Montessori classroom that boost the child’s five senses, enabling them to learn better.
Open Gym
Open Gym, a diverse outdoor recreation system, has been installed in the school premises to help students lead an active lifestyle. It has light physical fitness equipment to instil the idea of basic fitness among students. To ensure that any improvement becomes sustainable, the equipment is integrated into structured physical education class on a weekly basis.
Rain Water Harvesting
In consonance with the vision of UNICEF “safe water and adequate sanitation are as important to quality education as pencils, books and teachers”, the School has implemented one of the most effective rainwater harvesting designs in the internal and external design of school buildings. Sustainable methods and techniques have been followed to ensure water conservation and alternative water use for school facilities.
Rain Water Harvesting does not only educate children about the dire need to preserve drinking water but also encourages a responsible attitude towards the environment and sets a perfect example for the next generation.
School has seven number of Rain Water Harvest System in the campus.
