VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE

Our students are bringing laurels to the school by getting admission to top universities in India and abroad such as University of Oxford,Sheffield University, Thomas Valley Institute (U.K) and Stony brook University (US). In India our students have got admission into BITS Pilani, Medical College Manipal University, Sri Ram College of Commerce, The Hindu College and Lady Sri Ram College.

Charting out a map for life.

We at The Indian School are conscious that our obligation to the students does not end with teaching the curriculum and that we must prepare them for the next stage of their lives. Whether it be higher academic education at a college or university, in India or overseas, a career in a profession in the services, business and industry or even in sports, media, performing and fine arts. A few years ago the options in the last four were not so promising but today with efforts and a bit of luck one can rise to greater heights both in name and fame and earn well as a painter, a singer, or an athlete.

Self assessment is encouraged from an early stage and is now a page in their Report card.

Our Discovery learning project is also programmed to do just that. Over the years students learn to identify and understand their own inclinations and aspirations and eventually arrive at the choices they wish to make in life.Aptitude tests are conducted at regular intervals to assist students in making choices and our teachers and in-housecounselors work in close co-ordinationwith both the students and their parents.Career advice is given through the annual Career Melas held in September each year, where talks are arranged with senior professionals from trade & industry.The talks are aimed at increasing awareness of specific careers and typical qualities and educational inputs sought by organizations when recruiting young people

PARENTS AT A CAREER ORIENTATION PROGRAM

Attempts are also being made to coach students in practising on appearing for interviews,giving presentations, writing CVs and covering letters. Such guidance, it is felt, would be invaluable in helping the student to chart out a map for life. Whether it be for higher education in a university overseas or preparing for a career.

We are also working on a scheme to send students of class XII on Internship programmes during the summer vacations to multinational companies, banks, law firms, retail outlets to acquire first hand work experience.
