The hobbies we cultivate as children enrich our lives as adults. Thus the students are exposed to a variety of activities like music, drama, dance, design, sculpture, fine arts, woodwork, and more. Students form clubs and societies, have STA (Spare Time Activities) and choose the activity of their preference for specialization. The school also encourages students to appear for grade examinations conducted by reputed bodies like Indra Kala Sangeet Vishwavidyalaya, Khairagarh in Music and Dance, Elementary and Intermediate Examination conducted by the Directorate of Art- Maharashtra & J.J. School of Arts, and participates in prestigious events like the Mathematical Olympiad, Albert Barrow Essay Writing Competition, the National Talent Search and State and National Level sports competitions.

It also has magazines and journals from all over the country. Beyond Academics - P.E The need for a sound mind in a sound body is known to all of us. For overall developement of students, involvement in acitivities such as sports is important alongwith academics. The Sanskaar Valley School provides sports facilities in the form of two large green playground, tennis courts, basketball courts, a swimming pool, squash courts, badminton courts and a 400 metre running track. Coaching is also given for Taekwondo. The sports field would serve as an extension of the classroom that provides the nurturing grounds for trials, tribulations and adventure so important in the process of growing up. Team sports like cricket, football and basketball develop leadership qualities and encourage teamwork and cooperation, whereas individual sports like tennis, squash, badminton, skating and swimming aim at developing responsible personal behaviour. Building of self- confidence in students will be achieved through adventure sports and by exposing them to techniques to handle emergency and relief operations.

Full time co-curricular staff, counsellors and medical staff give full support to a committed, nurturing and dynamic academic faculty. The school is divided into four houses and each child is allotted a house upon joining, as inter-house activities form an important part of the school calendar. While each house symbolizes a "Sanskaar" or an ideal that is both admired and desired in our children, we want our students to graduate from the school having imbibed all four of them. UDYAM Meaning - Action; this house is named after the spirit of ceaseless motion that motivates students towards the discovery and attainment of knowledge. PRAVEER Meaning - Courage; this house hopes to inspire fearlessness in its students to always stand by What is Right. SATYA Meaning - Truth; this is to inspire students towards finding and walking upon the path of Righteousness. PRAGYAN Meaning - Wisdom; this is to inspire students towards attaining wisdom that has been the goal of scholars since time immemorial. Summing up, at The Sanskaar Valley School, students are encouraged to have the wisdom to always take the right action and to have the courage to stand by what is true. BOARD AND CURRICULUM The Sanskaar Valley School offers a comprehensive and balanced curriculum that falls under the purview of the Indian School Certificate Examination ,which is one of the two recognized and approved All India Board of Secondary Education. The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examination (CISCE) was established in 1958 by the University of Cambridge, local examinations syndicate with the assistance of the inter-state board for Anglo Indian education. It is registered under the Societies Registration Act no. XXI of 1860. The objective of the CISCE syllabus is to equip students with knowledge that would enable them to gain life skills for their personal and professional development and grow into young adults who are aware of their responsibilities towards society. The syllabus is further enriched by teacher-designed worksheets and subject-integrated projects. Emphasis is placed on learning by asking questions, problem solving and through application to ensure that this learning lasts for a lifetime and we aim to make every stage of this process a joyous one. CURRICULUM SUPPORT The entire educational framework including the broad-based and balanced curriculum of the school was provided by The Shriram Educare of The Shriram Schools, Delhi. Workshops have been held on an ongoing basis for Curriculum Development and Classroom Transaction in the last two years by Senior Educationists like John Mason, Bill and Abha Adams, Meenakshi Basu, Arvind Chalasani etc for the staff. The curriculum is designed to encourage exploration; thinking and reinforcement of learning along with developing skills through an inter-disciplinary approach thus, making the teaching -learning process a challenging one. A creative and innovative methodology which reduces stress and makes learning a joy, is the underlying value in designing each lesson plan, related work sheets and project work Academic System - Boarding School A boarding school is a home away from home. Gender specific hostels, one each for the boys and the girls overlook beautiful wooded areas of the reserved forest. The hostels have been designed keeping the safety, security and comfort of the children in mind. The rooms are spacious and airy with adequate natural light. The children are under the care of committed and trained staff ranging from senior faculty to matrons to support staff. Senior faculty would include House masters / House Mistresses and tutors who are responsible for the holistic development of every child with the roles of pastor and counselor combined. The Sanskaar Valley School has a fixed number of day boarding students and boarding school students. A boy girl ratio of 60:40 or vice versa will be maintained. The girls and boys will attend classes and take their meals together. After Class VI, Physical Education classes are conducted separately. Once boarders are back in their respective hostels, there will be no interaction between the two boarding houses. Individual study units are provided for the children (except Classes XI and XII) in designated Prep Rooms. These study units are specially designed to ensure personal privacy, yet they allow adult supervision. A student can keep his / her belongings including books, note books and personal articles in these study units. All boarding houses are wired up through fibre optic cable and CAT 6 cable with wireless access points to allow students use of the latest technology in the form of restricted and safe access to the Internet and our own internal network as an aid to learning, recapitulation and communication. A linen room housed within the building keeps all the uniforms and other extra clothing of every student. The linen room also has a modern state of the art laundry that ensures clean and timely management of student wear. The boarding houses are equipped with common rooms for the students where they can relax to enjoy music or watch television.
