Learning beyond exams and the four walls of classroom encourages exploration and engaged learning. Prime focus should be on learning outcomes rather than the curriculum or just completion of syllabus. While exams are important to assess an individual, learning entails much more.
Implementation of peer education and peer tutoring is transforming child centered education in India.

Apart from academics the school exposes its students to rich cultural and artistic heritage of India. To practice mindfulness, PT, meditation and yoga is practiced during morning assemblies. The school gives ample opportunities to students to take part in co-curricular activities through associations with SPIC Macay, Intach, Natrang and many more organizations.
