Beyond Books

Learning does notstop at theclassroom door.

Sport, the arts, making things, speaking in front of people, looking after a garden. None of it is an extra here. It is timetabled, and taught by specialists.

Sport

In the timetable, not after it.

Children are coached rather than supervised. They learn to warm up properly, to play a position, to lose a match and come back the next week.

Most children find the thing they are good at here, and it is rarely the thing anyone predicted.

Play to speak

Confidence is built by doing it often.

Taught through games, not lectures. Children take turns, argue a point, tell a story and stand in front of a group often enough that it stops being frightening.

Learning by making.

From Grade 1, every child has a STEAM block once a week — designing, building, testing and improving.

  • Coding

    Coding

    From blocks to real code, and the thinking behind it.

  • Robotics

    Robotics

    Motors, sensors and machines that do a job.

    Entrepreneurship

    An idea, a price, a customer — and a stall to run.

  1. 01

    Grades 1–2

    LEGO construction, simple machines, paper circuits, balancing structures and visual coding.

  2. 02

    Grades 3–5

    Hydraulic bridges, earthquake-resistant towers, robotic vehicles, smart city models and basic automation.

  3. 03

    Grade 6 upward

    AI applications, robotics challenges, IoT prototypes, 3D-designed models and real product prototypes.

Every block ends the same way

  • Design
  • Build
  • Test
  • Improve
  • Present

Some of it works. Some of it falls apart, and that usually teaches more.

Vocational skills

Real work, with real tools.

From Grade 6, children take CBSE's vocational skill classes. Each project runs about thirty hours, includes a visit to see the work done for real, and ends with children showing what they made.

Children working with tools and materials
Hands at work.
  • Living things

    Growing things

    Microgreens without soil — building the system, testing the water, keeping it alive.

  • Living things

    Caring for animals

    Feeding charts, health records, and a visit to see it done properly.

  • Machines and materials

    Wood and bamboo

    Real tools, a finished product, and the school's own broken furniture repaired.

  • Machines and materials

    Making things work

    Breadboards, sensors and circuits — a night light or an alarm that actually works.

  • Human services

    Auditing water

    Surveying what the school uses, reading three months of bills, writing up what should change.

  • Human services

    Working with a business

    Interviewing a shopkeeper nearby, designing a campaign, presenting it back to them.

Most of the marks come from the work itself, not from a written test. That is the point.

Clubs

Chosen by the children.

From Grade 3, every child picks a club. It meets once a week, all year, and it is usually where a child finds a first real interest — and the friends who share it.

Club 01 / 05

Literary club

Reads and writes together, and runs the open-mic and debates.

Younger children have circle time, storytelling and free play instead. From Grade 6, clubs give way to the weekly vocational block.
