BEST PRACTICES

  • As stewards in the preservation of our culture and promotion of education, our aim is to provide maximum exposure to our students. Our incessant efforts are to base all learning experiences on the Four Pillars of Learning i.e. learning to know, learning to do, learning to be and learning to live together and maximise experiential learning so that the learning outcome is achieved.
  • An integrated approach is utilised in order to bring relevance to what is taught. Our teachers provide learning experiences which ensure understanding, application and critical thinking. Our activities also involved utilisation of maximum number of senses in keeping with Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences. Due respect is also given to the individualistic learning styles. The school also promotes inclusive practices.
  • Our primary wing believes in experiential learning and hence teaching occurs primarily through activities. These activities develop cognitive, social and psychomotor skills. To bring out the hidden talents in every child, various competitions which develop language skills, reasoning and decision making are held.
