ASSESSMENT
We do not believe in putting young children through formal examinations. We follow year long observations and assess based on HPC as prescribed by CBSE . This not only relieves stress on pupils, but also pulls them away from the practice of rote learning immediately before exams. Year-long assessments are an important aspect of the educational system because they assist educators identify areas for development and improve the teaching-learning experience in the classroom. Cognitive abilities are evaluated from basic knowledge to application level, with the goal of developing higher-order thinking.

Circle Time
Jenny Mosely, an educator, created it to assist youngsters build self-esteem, empathy, compassion, and self-confidence. This is a much-anticipated session that comes every two weeks. Class teachers choose any relevant theme based on socio-emotional skills and interact with the students. Each student sits in a circle and has the opportunity to speak. To ensure a seamless, joyful, and participatory session, a well-structured strategy is created ahead of time. Through games and enjoyable activities, teachers plant the seeds of qualities such as faith, trust, and honesty. While playing and interacting with their teacher and classmates, children gain essential life skills. This game teaches youngsters that their ideas and opinions are valuable, as well as fostering listening skills, patience, and helping the child in relating to others in the classroom.
Shloka Chanting
Shloka chanting is an ancient practice that is greatly beneficial for the developing mind. It improves focus, concentration, memory and also helps to calm the mind. We have introduced this traditional practice to not only keep our students grounded in traditional values, but also to remind them each day of their cultural roots.
Mindfulness
Even the youngest of our students benefit from the regular mindfulness sessions that bring calm and encourage the students to sit still with their thoughts and emotions. Our mindfulness sessions are meant to tap the inner consciousness of the children and facilitators alike. The act of sitting still brings stability and strength to the minds, in turn helping children learn better in the classroom. It also regulates their emotions and helps them better cope with problems that come their way.
