Our alumni are established and well placed all across the world in the fields of engineering, medicine, management & other recognised professions. Our school’s vision focuses on all-round development of the students. We train our students not only in academics but also in co- scholastic activities. Launched on July 15th, 2021, the unique Activity Based Curriculum (ABC), is a revolutionary approach designed to foster the holistic development of our children, offering a structured platform from Lower Nursery to Class VIII to thrive not only academically but also through a diverse array of co-scholastic activities. For Classes IX-XII, the “Future Ready Program” of the school, with Career Fair, Psychometric tests, specially curated Professional Workshops, is a forward-thinking initiative designed to prepare students with life skills requisite to the emerging challenges and opportunities in a rapidly evolving world.
The school curriculum provides a balanced educational experience with a strong foundation in mathematics, sciences, language, arts, social studies and physical education. We enhance learning with technology integration across all grades, preparing students for the digital age.
Our core objectives are meticulously crafted to align with the principles of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. Our aim is two-fold: to seamlessly intertwine academics with activities and to cultivate a well-rounded skill set among our students. With a mantra of “success for every child” and a vision for all-round development, we continue to move ahead with a commitment of nurturing the true potential within each student.
