• In September parents send a report to school on their children based on the observation made at home. This report facilitates a joint awareness and understanding of the child by the school and home.
• Students take formal examinations from class VIII.
• Students take the public examinations at the end of Tenth and Twelfth standard.

ASSEMBLIES:

Every morning there are separate assemblies for the Junior and Senior sections, where the students and staff come together to sing, chant, listen and share ideas.

NON ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES/EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES:

Complete education is impossible without sensorial learning and encouraging various forms of expression. In Junior school, students learn a wide variety of skills to express themselves creatively. In the later years, students opt for activities which include art, weaving, clay work, carpentry, home-craft and dance.

UNDERSTANDING RESPONSIBILITY :

Students are encouraged to accept and share responsibility in various ways. Students from Class V and above :

• Wash plates and set the dining hall in turn.
• Clean their classrooms.

CULTURE CLASS:

Teachers and students hold discussions on themes relating to life - on subjects of fear, pleasure, hurt, ambition, co-operation and responsibility at various levels of understanding. The everyday experiences of the children in the peer group, in class, at home, and from the media, form contexts for such explorations. These discussions are vital to the growth of the child.
