Academics & Salient Features

What a child meets in a day here

The PSEB curriculum from Nursery to Class XII, taught in classrooms built for light, laboratories built for experiment, and a Yajyashala that keeps the school’s founding purpose in the middle of the working day.

Our Approach

Joyful, experience-based learning

We follow a joyful, experience-based learning system in which every child is encouraged to participate whole-heartedly. Our distinctive academic programmes and innovative teaching methodologies connect students to real-life experience, so that they become critical thinkers and creative problem-solvers rather than good at memorising.

The academic programme follows the PSEB pattern, so that a student here sits comfortably in any Punjab classroom — and, with laboratory work, computer literacy and language training, in any classroom outside it.

  • Personalised attention, with the same teachers over several years
  • Sanskrit taught as a living language, not an examination subject
  • Laboratory and computer work from the middle classes onward
  • Monthly tests and terminal examinations, with results discussed at home
  • Sports, art and music treated as part of the timetable, not the leftover

Stages & Subjects

Choose a stage to see what is taught

The school admits students from three years old to Class XII. Each stage has its own rhythm, its own assessment, and its own idea of what a child should be able to do by the end of it.

Foundations

Nursery · L.K.G. · U.K.G. · Ages 3 to 6

The school admits tiny tots in the Nursery class on the basis of interaction with the parents and their ward; the child should have recognition abilities for common objects. A written or oral test may be taken. The first years are about language, number, movement and confidence — not about syllabus.

  • Phonics, blending and reading fluency
  • Number work, patterns and hand writing
  • Story-telling and conversation in Hindi, English and Punjabi
  • Sanskrit shlokas, songs and the morning prayer
  • Free play, drawing, clay and physical activity

What we watch for

At this age the school looks for curiosity, willingness to try, and the ability to separate from a parent without distress. Those three things predict academic comfort better than any early test result.

  • Terminal examinations at the end of each term
  • Homework notes in the diary; one mark deducted per note in the terminal exam
  • Entrance test for admission to high classes, and for Class XI

Beyond the Classroom

What happens outside the four walls

The auditorium, the conference hall, the lawn and the sports room are not extras. They are where a student learns to perform, to lose gracefully, and to work in a team.

Music and dance performances, art exhibitions, the Annual Day, and celebration of occasions such as Gurpurab through shabad ucharan.

Science & Talent Expo

Service & Outreach

Students are encouraged to become agents of transformation in the community — the same thought that closes the Director’s message.
