Collaborative learning strengthened by shared values...
OUR CORE BELIEFS
An Exciting Learning Environment
The learning programs promote a spirit of inquiry and a sense of wonder by providing students with a variety of experiences where they can observe, question and analyse the world around them. Students learn through collaborating with their teachers and peers, sharing their observations and ideas, and supporting one another.
Benchmarks Of Excellence
Students and teachers work with their peers to evaluate their skills and competencies and set growth milestones to advance their academic progress or professional growth. They set personal development goals which are reviewed with their peers every term to keep track of their emotional well-being and the quality of relationships with their classmates and colleagues.
Self Expression Through The Arts
We believe that the arts are an essential part of the curriculum. We encourage students to express themselves creatively and use their imagination freely, through experiences in the fine arts and performing arts. Regular workshops by musicians, theatre people, artists and craft-persons help to enrich and add colour and vibrancy to the program.
Respect And Regard For The Environment
The students participate in a variety of environmental programs that help them realise that their way of life affects their immediate surroundings and the larger community. The curriculum encourages students to respond in ways that reflect a deep sense of responsibility, concern and sensitivity to the earth and all life.
Building Teaching Excellence
The school continually educates teachers through weekly discussions of current pedagogical ideas and practices. It encourages teachers to experiment with a variety of educational approaches and methods. The TVS Teachers’ Forum offers an exciting avenue for teachers to showcase their innovative teaching strategies and inspires them in their journey of teaching and learning.
Personal Growth And Development
The school offers unique opportunities for personal growth and development through courses in yoga, philosophy and practices of mindfulness. Students explore complex social issues and personal concerns through reflective dialogues, discussions and simulated role-plays. This enables them become sensitive, mature and compassionate individuals.
A Commitment To The Community
Students and teachers along with the stakeholders identify problems and concerns faced by the community and find ways of resolving them. They have initiated several programs, from garbage sorting and recycling to creating libraries in villages, from working with disabled children to engaging in environmental conservation. This dedicated work in bringing about positive change has given the students and teachers a great sense of fulfillment.
A Collaborative Role For Parents And Teachers
The schools recognise that parents and teachers share a pivotal role in the students’ educational progress and emotional development. Through a program of continuing dialogues, students, teachers and parents share their concerns and work together to create a conducive climate for the growth and development of the students.
