Our school is 32 years old and teaches learners from K to 12, with the motto of “BHAKTHI, GNANAM AND SEVA” (Devotion, Knowledge and Service). We conduct various international events and activities in collaboration with our partner schools: Sri Lanka, China, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, France, UK, Greece and Egypt. Every year we go on International Educational trips to understand the culture and system of education in different parts of the world. Our journey with the Skills Builder Accelerator+ Program has been for the last four years.
As a Skill Builder school for the last four years, we have brought in a series of new initiatives and implementations. All teachers across the school are involved in improving the essential skills of students. We have also planned a series of effective Teacher Training sessions on the effective usage of resources and assessment formats from the Skill Builder Team. This has improved the professional knowledge of our teachers. As a result, for the last couple of years, skill development has become a part of our curriculum and a well-planned time table. This helps us to manage our academic syllabus and also assess the students on the most important essential skills. Our students involve themselves in many activities and showcase their skills in various categories. We have seen them become confident and independent. Our school activities and events are testimony to the improvement that we have seen among our children. The Skills Builder programme also had a great impact on the parents after the orientation programme conducted for them. All these have helped us to move forward in the Skills Builder Accelerator programme with confidence.
We have a Global Accelerator+ programme from Kindergarten classes to grade 12. We have a WOW curriculum at our school, which develops the three Ls, Language, Leadership and Life Skills. Every topic in the WOW curriculum is embedded with the essential skill building curriculum across classes that enables teachers to focus on building Listening, Creativity, Teamwork, Speaking and Adapting skills.
Skill building is also integrated in the curriculum and not just alone as a separate subject. This is helping the teachers to engage children with focus on skills development and assessing them continuously. The students are introduced to the essential skill at the Kindergarten level via Circle Time, during this time, they are allowed to interact with their classmates to develop their communication skills. This is continued We also have extra curricular projects throughout the year that enhance the skills of the students.For example, International Panel discussions, Inter School Competition, Topical Talk- Global Event by The Economist, and the WOW Leadership programme.
