Academics

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.

TECHNOLOGICAL INITIATIVES

KRM acknowledges the fact that transformational technologies such as communication and information technology have a powerful impact on society with profound implications.

The school has vigorously promoted the use of technology and the online medium. Spearheading the technological initiative is the School’s Principal, Ms. Archana Sagar, who vociferously advocates the need to integrate technology with academics.

The school launched the first edition of its monthly online magazine, Nirantar, in November ’09. The theme based magazine encapsulates school news and events besides providing the students with a platform to voice their thoughts and opinions. ‘It’s our conduit to reach out to the world.’ is how our Head Editorial team, envisions its reach in the times to come. Accessibility and connectivity across the globe spurred the Nirantar team in this endeavor.

The school boasts of a vibrant and dynamic Virtual School, which provides KRM students easy access to quality study material, Higher Order Thinking Skills questions, sample papers and assignments in different subjects. It also strengthens the vital communication link between parents and the school.
The audio-visual medium is put to optimum use to facilitate learning. The installation of Smart/Interactive Boards in the classrooms greatly aids the students in comprehending the lessons besides supplementing their knowledge and awareness.
The school has entered into a partnership with Microsoft, the word synonymous with the world of software and Live Education, to introduce the `students to a World Class Web Based system that enables educational Institutes to collaborate in building a state – of – the – art learning environment.

The school has striven to incorporate a plethora of activities to bring individual talent to the fore. Dramatics, Fine arts, Public Speaking, Pottery, Photography, Social Work, Calligraphy -to name a few-provide students with a unique platform to pursue and showcase their potential.
