Electives

Students get an opportunity to develop various non-academic skills through elective courses and workshops. Elective courses are taken on a range of topics every Saturday for a term. Students can choose which course they want to learn depending on their interests. Some of the courses taught in the school are calligraphy, craft, dramatics, embroidery, journalism, knitting, photography, art from waste, etc. Volunteers visiting the school also conduct workshops. Attending the workshop could be compulsory or optional depending on the concept being taught in the workshop. Some workshops are on topics that focus on the psychological and spiritual development of the students.
