We strongly believe that the sporting spirit is a vital life force that can be developed on the field, where competition is replaced by team work and a cohesive sense of cooperation. never-the-less the player also develops a sense of pride for the Alma Mater when in the race to keep the school flag fling high. Our comprehensive programme in physical training includes hands-on motor skills, coordination, movement, health and nutrition and first aid skills for emergencies. Our Tennis Academy, Olympian Swimming pool, Hard & Turf Game Courts for Cricket, football, Basketball, Throw Ball, Hockey ; Athletic fields, Cricket Teams, Gymnasium, Yoga & Meditation are all professionally managed and monitored.

Happy children enjoy learning. And that’s our primary concern. So we let the toddlers remain in their own space through a curriculum that involves objective-oriented activities, allowing their unrestricted imagination to explore the world around them! A two-session program for the Kindergarten children at levels 1 & 2 enhance their literary skills, mathematical concepts and environmental awareness. They also experience everything they see and hear from the teachers together with audio-visual aids as well as with their own hands, thereby stimulating their aesthetic, kinesthetic, spiritual and moral instincts. The curriculum is segregated into various learning experiences - fun with Maths, Jolly phonics, Reading & Writing, Eco - friendly Concepts, Music & Movement, Arts & Crafts, Developmental & Carpet Time, Audio-Visual & Outdoor Activities. The purpose of pre-primary education is to prepare children physically, emotionally, socially and mentally to enter grade 1 of primary school. It is here that the foundation for the love of learning is first formed and strengthened.

The portfolio system is a novel method to aid in this assessment which include:

Work Samples - Artworks and other •worksheet type activities that reflect learning in the classroom.Report Cards: Reporting on the •developmental stages is based on observations, demonstrations and collection of student work

Unique picture talk displays on the wall teach the children about everyday objects, animals, colours and helps the teacher in building vocabulary, speech, inculcates the foundation for reading, matching activities and a lot more.
