Honours & Academic Record
A PSEB Best School of the State, an all-India Top 100 recognition, and seven decades of students who came out of these classrooms. The awards are listed as the school received them, with the years attached.
Institutional Honours
These were awarded to the institution, by the board that examines its students and by an organisation working at national level.
Punjab State Education Board · 1984–85
The Punjab State Education Board declared R.S. Model Senior Secondary School the Best School of the State for the session 1984–85. For a school that had been teaching for thirty-three years and still ran on the founding Sanskrit principle, this was the central milestone of its first four decades.
School Summit · 2013
In 2013, an all-India organisation named School Summit placed the school among the Best 100 Schools of India — the second time in the school’s history that a distinction reached beyond Punjab.
Golden Jubilee
The Golden Jubilee Celebration marked five decades of academic excellence, cultural vibrancy and holistic development — a full gathering of alumni, faculty and students, honouring the past while looking to what came next.
Affiliation & Management
The school is aided and recognised by PSEB, Mohali, and is managed by Arya Samaj, Model Town — the same body that housed the primary school in its mandir compound in 1951.
Opened with 61 students and 3 teachers in the Arya Samaj Mandir compound, Model Town, to promote Sanskrit and inculcate Vedic culture.
The first formal upgrade, extending the school beyond the primary stage.
The secondary stage was added, and the school became a full high school.
Declared the Best School of the State by the Punjab State Education Board.
Under the new Education Policy the school introduced the 10+2 system for girls — the stage at which it became a senior secondary school.
The 10+2 system was extended to boys as well, and the school marked fifty years of existence with its Golden Jubilee Celebration.
School Summit, an all-India organisation, named the school one of the Best 100 Schools of India.
Results
The school’s examination structure is fixed, and the same routine applies every session. Knowing it is useful for any parent who wants to understand the result rather than just read it.
Held through the session, with the report going home for a parent’s signature and return to the class teacher. Reports that are not returned are not on record as seen.
The terminal examination is the examination for the session. Homework notes recorded in the diary count against it — one mark is deducted for every note.
Attendance at the P.T.M. is mandatory, and only a parent may view or sign the report card. The meeting is where a single mark and a single term’s effort are discussed together.
The names of class toppers and of students who hold a rank in the Punjab board examinations are declared by the school after each examination cycle. They are displayed on the school noticeboard and released through the office, and the previous session’s list can be obtained from the school office on request.
This page does not publish individual student results. Results are the school’s to declare, and the school declares them through the office rather than through a website.
Good to know
Co-curricular Record
The school’s record outside the examination hall is built through its events. These are the programmes documented in the school’s own gallery and news bulletins.
Talent Expo
Student projects presented and explained, with the working shown rather than only the result — the habit the school wants built early.
Talent Expo
Music, dance and stage work presented by students, in a school whose founding purpose was Sanskrit and Vedic culture and which has never treated the two as opposed.
Gurpurab Celebration
Students performing Shabad Ucharan at the school’s Gurpurab celebration — the clearest single expression of what this school was founded to keep alive.
Athletic Development
Athletic development is listed among the school’s four headline strengths, supported by sports amenities and by regular participation.
Talent Expo, Gurpurab celebration and the school’s annual functions give every class a stage and a subject outside the syllabus.
Athletic development is one of the four areas the school names as its own strengths, alongside education, Sanskrit and Vedic culture.
Founded to inculcate Vedic culture among future citizens of India, and still doing so — in Sanskrit and in the mother tongue, together.
Community and social activity sit alongside the academic record; the school lists community service among its salient features.
Next Step
Results and recognition tell you what a school has done. A visit tells you what it is like on an ordinary Tuesday. The office is open Monday to Saturday, 8:00 am – 2:00 pm.
