• First principle approach to concept building, to build strong fundamentals
• Believe that a deep understanding of basics is the route to innovation and to developing scientific temper
PARTICIPATIVE LEARNING THROUGH CLUB ACTIVITIES
• Robotics
• Astronomy
• Science
• Mathematics
• Multimedia
• Ecology
• Rain Water Harvesting
• Conservation of Water - an awareness
ACHIEVE TO INSPIRE
• No substitute for hands on experience-
Innovation is risky and messy!
• Getting hands dirty in trying something new
• Success begets more aspirants……
INCUBATING GERMINATED IDEAS
• Encourage research work
• Encourage inter-disciplinary approach, eg, between Entrepreneurs and Science Clubs to evaluate viability of project
INCUBATING GERMINATED IDEAS
• One school sponsored student’s research, ie, a concept of an auto disease diagnositicmachine, received national honor from Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam
• The student also filed a patent (PATENT APP. NO.: 3181/DEL/2011) for the innovation
FACULTY AND INFRASTRUCTURE
• Excellent qualified and dedicated faculty- our core strength
• Faculty spares no effort at preparing for lessons in order to effectively teach concepts as well as application
• Go the extra mile to ensure that more promising students progress faster, through additional attention after-School hours & through special projects
• We encourage our students to adapt knowledge of international best practices in Science to local conditions, through projects & clubs
• Quality Mathematics, Biology, Physics, Chemistry and Information Technology laboratories
The School does not stop at this. We do not hesitate to hire or procure more equipment/ wherewithal to improve teaching-learning outcomes
or facilitate students who need extra resources
INFUSING TECHNOLOGY IN DAY TO DAY ACTIVITY
• Integrated classrooms with in-built e-smart classes
• E-learning in synchronicity with regular classroom learning
• Each student equipped with a Mathematics kit
• Regular classroom teaching is immediately followed by its real life applications. For e.g. grade tenth chapter “geometry” is followed by students designing 3-D geometric shapes in AutoCAD, Google Sketch-up etc.
• Aim is to expose students to technology in day to day functioning and at a very basic, grassroots level
PROFESSIONAL ENHANCEMENT OF FACULTY: ‘TRAIN THE TRAINERS’
• The School head and the Science HOD participated in a project ‘Igniting Minds through Science and Technology’ sponsored by British Petroleum in Mumbai in January 2013
• School also participated in a policy dialogue on ‘Science and Mathematics Education : The Way Forward’, at New Delhi in January 2013, conducted by the British council in partnership with the NCERT and UNESCO
FUNCTIONAL PARTNERSHIPS WITH SCHOOLS IN INDIA AND ABROAD
• Actively seek international and national collaboration
• Recipients of the International School Award from the British Council

• Actively pursuing the ‘Cambridge Young Learners English (YLE)’ programme
• Interaction includes physical visits by students and faculty, video conferencing with other schools, correspondence on emails etc
• Students are encouraged to share ideas and projects with these partners, thereby enhancing their own knowledge base.
ACTIVE IN PROBLEM SOLVING IN LOCAL COMMUNITIES
• Even as we pursue knowledge globally, we encourage students to participate actively in their local communities
• Helps ground knowledge in local requirements & realities for immediate application
• Our students have been getting a hands-on look at problems (eg water) and working at solving these problems locally
• Overall, the aim is to encourage a holistic approach to problem solving, inter-alia encompassing engineering issues at a very practical level
