Primary school program
The school imparts education to the students of grades 1 - 5, in disciplines such as English, Mathematics, Social Science, Life Science, Language Studies, Environmental Science and Information Technology.
A continuous assessment has replaced the traditional method of examinations in the primary years programme. In order to remove the tedium of the traditional 'chalk and talk' technique of teaching, group discussions, seminars, and projects have been developed on the lines of the 'do and learn' technique. Yoga, music, craft and other activities are woven into the curriculum framework, in order to expose the children to pursuits other than academics.
Middle and High School program
Yoga is introduced to the children to de-stress them and to help them cope with the pressures of contemporary life.
The institution follows the CBSE pattern for all students up to 10th Standard.
Students are given the choice of Science, Quiz, Theatre, Literary, Art and Dance clubs.
