Visitors to the school remark on the joyous atmosphere and enthusiasm evident among the children and teachers.[3] In the Lower Primary Section (ages 5 through 8), the children are free to decide which activities to attend and how to organise their own day according to their interests. By the Upper Primary Section (ages 8–11), the children are motivated towards group projects that require a longer attention span . At this time, examinations are introduced in a fun way through an "Exam Fest" where everyone can help each other.[4] By the High School (ages 12–14) and Plus-Two (ages 15–17) sections, the children prepare for the external board examinations in tenth (ICSE)/International General Certificate of Secondary Education and twelfth (ISC)/IB Diploma Programme standards or pursue the National Institute of Open Schooling Senior Secondary Programme/Clonlara diploma that assesses children on internal examinations, daily work, and a cumulative portfolio.[5] The school also incorporates differently-abled children through assessments who can benefit from the program.
The school’s resilient graduates have gone on to higher learning at distinguished institutions in India and abroad and on into the professional world.[3] [6]
