Read on to know how, beyond academics, students participate in debates, sports, art, music, and leadership opportunities, enhancing confidence and teamwork.

Is there any stress for class X ahead?

No, not really. The way their teachers teach helps them understand everything. She thinks Class X would also be like other classes. Indeed, the pressure of being in a Board class will be there, but when you have excellent mentors to teach you, then the worry is less.

How are the teachers supporting her?

She likes learning new things, and in Class IX, the way Science and other subjects are taught is great. There are a lot of new things, and the difficulty level is higher. A sudden shift from middle school. But then she has world-class teachers who make them understand things so that the fundamentals become strong, and they shift from junior to senior studies with ease.

Which extracurricular activities does she like at school?

My kid enjoys going to school a lot. Her school provides her learning of new things, plus there are extracurricular activities which keep the school days even more vibrant. My kid enjoys robotics and playing chess. The school has one of the best chess coaches in Punjab. Both my kids are State champions in chess and have represented Punjab at the national level many times. They were given scholarships by the school for the same. Besides this, various activities like debates, declamations, quizzes, chart making, sports day, various sessions taken by the Principal on issues of kids, festival celebrations, cultural activities in the morning assembly. They love being a part of as many activities as they can.

How is the school infrastructure and facilities?

The school boasts excellent infrastructure with modern, student-friendly facilities that foster both learning and comfort. Classrooms are spacious and well-equipped with the latest educational tools. The campus features well-maintained playgrounds and recreational areas, encouraging physical activity and holistic development. Every aspect of the infrastructure is thoughtfully planned to support academic excellence and overall student growth.

Are you happy with your child’s progress so far?

Yes, I am more than satisfied with my kids’ progress and overall development. They are becoming independent thinkers while also learning to respect elders and care for younger ones. They are excelling in both studies and sports, thanks to the unwavering support from the Principal and teachers. I am truly grateful.
