It develops a respect for ethical and moral values as well as a sense of entrepreneurship. The students learn that knowledge-sharing, harmony, respect for one another and honesty are essential components of learning, development and career success.

Unfolding creativity
Through the skill of Fine Arts, the child’s vision of seeing the things and drawing them on canvas, becomes broad. We are born creative, if we neglect to develop and strengthen these skills, our creativity becomes inhibited, by assisting and encouraging a child’s creativity, we set the stage for endless opportunities for child’s imagination. By grooming their esthetic sense, we enable our children to have a beautiful view towards life. A child’s work speaks of his/her mind and enables us to judge his/her personality. A healthy imagination not only creates a resourceful and productive individual, but it also builds self-esteem which is an important tool to be used for the rest of that child’s life. When the students create work of art they don’t just draw a picture, instead they create aspects of their own imagination and thoughtful ideas which they bring into life through colours. Arts education benefits the student because it grooms the child by developing intuition, reasoning, imagination dexterity into unique forms of expression. It enables a child to understand human experiences both of past and present. By doing the Arts, students stimulate their natural creativity and learn to develop it to meet the needs of a complex and competitive society and as study and competence in the arts reinforce one another, the joy of learning becomes real, tangible and powerful.
art club
The art club arranges Art Exhibitions by collecting original artistic contributions of the students. Art Exhibitions are a blend of productivity, exciting and enriching creativity. The are work includes string work, cloth work, fabric painting, pot painting and drawings displayed in School Art Gallery. The children work with diverse mediums such as clay, wire sculpture. Plaster of paris and scratch board in addition to drawing techniques. We encourage all students regardless of artistic ability to be creative in a relaxed atmosphere. Student’s work gets appreciation and prizes are distributed to the best artists of the year. This gives students an honour and confidence to emerge as young artists in the society.

Individualized Growth program
Regular timetable offers short term training workshops and remedial classes to fulfill individual needs. Resourceful persons are appointed to improve the performance in concerned areas, individually. Individualized educational programmer critically evaluates each student’s progress and then decides remedial sessions.
Students need to develop self-confidence. We wish to lay the foundation on which students can develop their personality and achieve self-respect. Skills need to be inculcated in order to achieve a good personality, are assertiveness communication skills Leadership qualities public speaking skills Social skills.
Our endeavor is to help a student to develop at least some of these qualities, if not all of them. With the right guidance, we can brush up the innate skills of a child. We hold seminars and workshops for students under the capable guidance of eminent personalities. These seminars remain open to all students. Students are required to participate in the group discussions or other organized events actively, in order to gain them maximum benefit of the provided coaching.
