Student Strength

Spoken English, Music, Gardening and other activities are taught here along with Life Oriented Education. The pupil teacher ratio is kept within 40:1, so the individual care and attention could be given to every child giving full scope for self expression, discipline and harmonious community activities, and enabling the child to develop a totally integrated personality with leadership qualities.

We all know every student has strengths. It is our job as teachers and parents to help students utilize their strengths and talents to the best of their abilities. Temple Grandin says it best – “There needs to be a lot more emphasis on what a child can do, instead of what he cannot do”.

An important activity is for students to understand that each and every one of them has strengths. These can come in the form of activities (ex. dance, hockey, etc.) and in the form of character strengths. It is also important to share what these strengths could look like in each student, strength are not something that a student needs to be the best at, but more about personal skills, qualities, traits and virtues that students have developed.

Strengths can involve skills, qualities and personal characteristics.
