Co-Curricular

NVA has successfully converted its various classrooms to smart classes with technology at finger tips. It is the concept of bringing revolution to methodology of teaching next to the blackboard for teachers in the classes. Te innovative and meaningful use of technology enable the students to learn difficult and abstract concepts in an enjoyable manner through visuals and animations.

Since NVA believes in the Holistic Development of the child, two separate rooms for Dance, Vocal Music and Instrumental music has been provided to the students so that a child can excel in the field of performing arts.

It aims at making students use the computer both as a productive tool and as a means of creativity and self-expression. The curriculum encompasses technological skills based on themes that are current and meaningful. The program helps children build a solid foundation of fundamental learning skills and prepares them for the fast changing technology of today and the future.

The techniques of sketching, still-life, water colour, painting and oil painting are taught. Creativity is emphasized in these activities.

This is divided into essential and elective areas. Essential area covers community service and campus cleanliness. Elective area offers a wide range of activities to cater to the creativity of the students and to enable them to appreciate dignity of labour. Computer Literacy which is offered rightbox from Std. I is part of the elective area in Work Experience.

As the children grow, their roles, responsibilities, aspirations and environmental context changes. This brings about the need for developing new insights in life skills.

Project work is an integral part of the school curriculum. The Annual Educational Project, which is thematic, is a unique feature of the school.

Notation, sight reading, chords and lead playing in light music as well as familiar tunes are focused on.

Exercises and postures that benefit different parts of the body are demonstrated and performed. Asanas are graded according to the age and experience of the student.

Creative Drama is incorporated into the primary school curriculum and it proves to be an enjoyable learning experience for the students.

This nurtures creativity and paves the way for strengthening problem-solving techniques. The inventive faculty coupled with divergent thinking make children, visionaries.

As all children have the right to a happy and carefree childhood which paves the way for a more meaningful and productive adulthood and this is possible only if the student is indulged more in sports, group work and peer learning. Therefore to regulate the weight of school bags we promote ‘Learning by Doing’ and implement no homework policy for the students of classes I & II. We also prepare a book load (Time –Table) which is given to the students with a note for the parents to prepare the child’s school bag as mentioned in the book load.

The Clubs and Houses work in close association with each other specially helping each other to perform different inter- school activities. Students are given the freedom to opt for membership to any of the Clubs based on their area of interest and choice. Once opted for, no change of Clubs is permissible during the academic year. The seven Clubs are:

1. Eco Club : Conservation of natural resources & building social awareness.
2. Health & Wealth Club : Highlighting issues related to mental, emotional & physical health & hygiene.
3. Sports Club : To promote physical & mental fitness and inculcate sportsman spirit.

'Sound mind in a sound body.' This is ensured by making games compulsory for all students. Professionally qualified Physical Education Teachers take care of the sports activities of the school. The school is divided into four houses and inter house activities are conducted regularly. Students who are declared physically unfit by a physician are given exemption from taking part in sports activities. The Annual Sports is a regular feature and an important co-curricular activity of the school.
