BEYOND CLASS ROOMS

We strive to achieve excellence in learning both within and beyond the classroom.

Save the Earth

To reinforce the academic curriculum and impart a global vision, help extra choice, a series of talks and workshops are held throughout the year by eminent personalities from the worldof Science, Arts, Academics, Media, Music, Economics, Business, IT, Technology, Interior Design, Heritage, Culture, Dance, Drama, Politics and Diplomacy. The topics range from Environment to Substantial Development through Non-violence, Architecture to Bio-diversity, Elections and Democracy, from life skills to attitudes and values to health and physical education.Special months of the year are designated to special activities, such as the Science Month, the Literary Month, the Environment Month in which students discover their talent and showcase their efforts. We take note of national and international festivals and anniversaries at our morning assemblies and also celebrate them through dance, drama, music, debate, story-telling sessions, painting and other creative endeavors.

Learning to question

The new term beginning in April sees children being regaled with tales of Lord Mahavira and Buddha, Good Friday and Id interwoven with Sanskaras of ahimsa and non-violence, thus laying the foundation for making our country a role model for multicultural democracy. Baisakhi is also celebrated, by turn, as it is observed in different parts of India – Bihu in Assam, Ugadi in Andhra Pradesh and so on.

July sees the students singing raag Malhaar in an Inter-school Music & Dance Competition which invokes the rain god and was originally started to celebrate the school’s own water harvesting project.

At the Malahaar

Grandparents

Parents, Grandparents and other members of the family are regularly invited to school functions. Independence Day and Raksha Bandhan are celebrated together. The hoisting of our national flag is accompanied by a Science Exhibition and the tying of rakhis not only by the girls to the boys but also the other way round. This is because we believe that both technological progress and an equal acceptance of the girl child are essential pre-requisites for an independent India. The rakhis made in the three colours of our national flag symbolize not merely national harmony but also convey gender equality.By tying rakes to each other, we are also recalling a piece of our history which was the early years of our independence struggle. Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore used this custom of rakhi tying to unite people of this country to protest against the British when they tried to divide and rule India with the partition of Bengal in1905.

Our annual inter-school competitions/workshops have become a regular feature on the Delhi School circuit and draw in best of schools to our doors.
