In its pursuit of imparting holistic education, the school has embraced the esteemed guidelines set forth by the World Health Organisation, encompassing the ten cardinal life skills deemed essential for the flourishing of young minds. These include: Self-awareness, Decision-making, Effective Communication, Problem-solving, Empathy, Critical Thinking, Creative Thinking, Interpersonal Relationships, Coping with Stress, and Managing Emotions—each a luminous facet in the gem of character formation.
A curriculum has been designed meticulously. With purposeful design, one skill is celebrated each month, unfurled through weekly sessions rich in immersive activities, dramatic role-plays, reflective writing endeavours, and interactive discussions. These lessons are not mere exercises, but transformative journeys that inspire self-discovery and nurture the moral compass of each learner.
Supplementing this noble pursuit are salient and timely themes such as Conflict Management, Bullying, Peer Pressure, Time Management, and Stress Alleviation—each woven seamlessly into the fabric of Life Skills education, equipping students to navigate the complexities of adolescence with wisdom and grace.
Every facet of skill enhancement is meticulously aligned to three guiding pillars:
- Real-life application and relevance
- Cultivation of positive and adaptive behaviour
- Integration into everyday interactions and decisions
Assessment of Life Skills is conducted through a performance-based model, employing a comprehensive Five-point Grading System, reflecting each student’s engagement and growth in these areas.
The school is committed to nurturing healthy mindsets and holistic development through STEM Education. This is achieved by embracing an interdisciplinary approach, blending academic content with experiential learning via skill-based workshops, training programmes, seminars, interactive sessions, community outreach initiatives, and international exchange programmes.
Furthermore, in collaboration with the Central Institute of Adult Education, a constituent body under NCERT, the school incorporates initiatives focused on critical life skills and vocational development within the school environment. These efforts aim to equip students with the competencies essential for navigating the complexities of modern life. In addition, the school has developed its own comprehensive Life Skills Manual for Classes III to VIII, ensuring a structured and age-appropriate approach to life skills education.
Excursions
‘The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.’– Saint Augustine
Excursions serve as luminous portals to the world beyond textbooks, allowing students to witness, absorb, and engage with the living classroom that lies outside four walls. These thoughtfully orchestrated journeys cultivate camaraderie, inspire curiosity, and nurture resilience, while sowing the seeds of life-long friendships and self-assurance within a safe and structured environment.
The school regularly organises a diverse array of educational trips and excursions to picturesque and culturally rich destinations such as Kanatal, Ranthambore, Mcleodganj, Jim Corbett, and numerous other remarkable locations. These experiences offer students first-hand exposure to the natural world, heritage sites, and varied ecosystems, enriching their understanding through real-world encounters that leave an indelible impression on their young minds.
Adventure Camps
Adventure Camps are the very embodiment of exhilaration, enterprise, and empowerment. These dynamic day-long escapades are an artful blend of recreational games and life-skills enrichment, each activity a stepping stone towards personal discovery, team synergy, resilience, and leadership development. With laughter echoing through the air and challenges embraced with enthusiasm, students return from these camps with not only cherished memories, but with newfound confidence and character.
