Teaching methodology
The school follows a system of continuous evaluation at the pre-school and the primary stages, wherein no examinations are conducted. The students are assessed on the basis of their regular performance in both scholastic and non-scholastic activities. From class VI onwards the students have terminal and final examinations apart from the Weekly Test and the Surprise Tests.
At the pre-primary level (junior and senior KG named Kush and Pallav) students are exposed to a variety of activities. In classes I to V all these items are done through integrated activities in subjects, like, English, Hindi, Maths, Science and Social Science. In classes VI to VIII children are initiated into the formal teaching - learning situations, maintaining a balance between the lecture method and activity- oriented methods. In classes IX to XII, children are provided learning experiences as per the guidelines of the CBSE. In order to take learning beyond the four walls of the class room, each class undertakes field trips/ picnics/ excursions, as per the requirements of the curriculum.
