The library

The school library holds more than 1,500 textbooks and over 15 student magazines, and takes daily newspapers in both English and Malayalam.

  • Malayalam is taught as a subject and read as a newspaper, so a child reading in either language finds something on the shelf.
Admissions

The laboratories

Practical work is done in three rooms, each kept for a different purpose.

Computer and math lab

A shared room for computer studies and mathematics. Computer lessons are taught as part of the timetable.

Science lab and technical library

A science laboratory for practical work, alongside a separate technical library.

A computer lesson in progress, the definition of an operating system written on the blackboard.

Science, Biology and Physics are taught as separate subjects, each by its own named subject teacher, so the laboratory is in use across the week rather than reserved for one class. The library and the labs are shared by every class from the primary years through to Class X.
