Diverse Methods of Teaching by selected educational programmes
Academic Excellence is just one of our many splendored goals. We also strive to churn our students into human beings par excellence with an aim to generate a pool of creative leaders for participating in the national development.
The school goes beyond the traditional teaching methods and has incorporated diverse methods of teaching and is supported by selected educational programmes like – Asset Program from Ahmedabad , Educomp Smart Classes , Language Lab, Lakshya Sandhan Special Remedial Measures, Helen O’Grady, Communication Skill Classes, Life Skill Classes where girls are trained in knitting , cooking, fabric painting, stitching and embroidery.
ASSET Stands for Assessment of Scholastic Skills through Educational Testing.
It is a scientifically designed, skill-based assessment test. Rather than testing rote learning, through multiple-choice questioning, it focuses on measuring how well SKILLS and CONCEPTS underlying the school syllabus have been learnt by the student. The test provides information on the strengths and weaknesses of individual students and also entire classes.
Smart Class by Educomp
Smart class brings about a complete transformation in classrooms. The Science teacher while explaining how a DNA replicates is able to show the class a 3D animation of the DNA replication process on a large screen. She can explain the fine points of the process, zoom in to show the relevant visuals, freeze and annotate when and where she needs to emphasise. Similarly the Geography teacher shows a virtual Block mountain being formed…all with engaging animations, colors, music, sounds and voice. The teachers gain complete attention and interest of every child in the class. Every child gets a visual input on how it happens and the concepts are well understood and internalised.
Towards the end of the class, every teacher displays a set of questions on a large screen, every child in class gets ready to answer the questions with their personal answering device – SAS. Students click the answers, instantly, teachers are able to get a score sheet for every child in class. She ends the class re –teaching the parts of the lesson that were not understood well by class.
This results in faster and accurate understanding of the concepts in class and helps improve the overall academic performance of students. Teachers are able to keep students engaged in the learning process and also get an instant and accurate assessment of learning outcomes achieved at the end of the class.

Anything that the mind of a man can conceive and believe, can be achieved. Meditate daily for 10 minutes. All knowledge that the world has ever received comes from the mind, which is the infinite library of the universe.
Bury the past and live in the present. Time Management is also very important in the life of a student.

Pear Group and Vertical Learning
"Peer learning is an educational practice in which students interact with other students to attain educational goals.". In this context, it can be compared to the practices that go by the name cooperative learning. However, other contemporary views on peer learning relax the constraints, and position peer or peer-to-peer learning as a mode of "learning for everyone, by everyone, about almost anything." Whether it takes place in a formal or informal learning context, peer learning manifests aspects of self-organization that are mostly absent from pedagogical models of teaching and learning.
The values and attitudes of the peer group are essential elements in learning. Those who surround themselves with academically focused peers will be more likely to internalize this type of behavior.
Vertical learning is based upon the reality that “children are builders”, and building any structure comes instinctively to them.
Debate, Dance, Extempore , Quiz, Group Discussion and various inter class , intra class & inter house activities are also conducted by the teachers throughout the year for the same.
