We advocate a teaching approach based on positive achievement which is brought out through a variety of teaching strategies like Teacher-led whole class learning, Group and Individual work, Games and imaginative play, and Practical work. These strategies address different learning styles, as well as the development of thinking skills, independence, risk-taking and creativity. The Field trips and educational visits, Industrial exposure and the Domestic and International trips organised by the school offers an experiential learning opportunity to our young scholars.
