Our entire faculty is well trained and equipped to deliver the curriculum and ensure that every student is challenged and encouraged to achieve their potential in all classes. We use Active Learning strategies to make the teaching-learning experiences more interesting and worthwhile. The teachers begin a class by clearly stating the learning goal, ask children what they know already, demonstrate an experiment or conduct a group activity, let children speak before they do, ensure the “application questions” are done independently, assess daily, and support each child individually.

The Junior, Middle and Senior School are an integral part of a student’s learning, where we ensure progression in the development of essential life skills. Students are encouraged to learn through a sense of enquiry and develop a keen desire to know. The school aims to provide a happy, nurturing environment where each child is as important as the other. With our strong well-defined curriculum, students grow into being well-rounded, happy and responsible people.

The Student Support Services offer support and guidance to students through access to a School Counsellor, Career Counsellor and the facilities of the Special Needs Educator. To ensure that students fulfil their potential, there is a support programme in place that tracks student progress through the school year. Besides academics, we also have on offer a plethora of extra-curricular activities ranging from Performing Arts to Visual Arts to the more intellectual activities like Debating.
