ACADEMICS : Our foremost priority
Academic excellence is the foremost priority of the institute. Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation is put to optimum use to motivate the learners, and augment their learning. We endeavor to prepare a classroom of thinkers through systematic reflection and planning. The teaching reflects the different learning styles, preferences and intelligence of the pupils. A variety of stimuli is provided to the learners to kindle their intellect.
To supplement the student’s awareness and learning, assignments, study-material and ‘Higher order Thinking Skills’ questions, encompassing all subjects, are regularly provided to the students. The school recognizes and awards academic excellence through the medium of Scholar Badges. However, while honouring academic excellence, the needs of the special and slow learners are not neglected. Remedial classes are regularly conducted for the benefit of such students.
