EXCURSIONS & FIELD TRIPS

It is an established fact that learning transcends into an effective experience when facts are etched in our mental frame through real life situations. We believe that such exposure to real life environment through excursions & field trips adds to holistic & comprehensive learning in pursuance of the methodology of learning by doing. The children are exposed to camping & coping with life skills, thus making them self sufficient & adventurous. School trips are carefully chosen keeping in mind the age of the children & theme or topic for the month. These are appropriately woven into the school curriculum, thereby combining learning with the outings.
