Curriculum

Purpose of Education

“Education would fail ignominiously in its objective, if it manufactured only a robot and called him an economic man accenting the adjective economic and forgetting the substantive man. A university cannot afford to ignore the cultural aspects of education, whatever studies it specializes in. Science is a means, not an end, whereas culture is an end in itself. Even though you may ultimately become a scientist, a doctor, or an engineer, you must, while in school, absorb fundamental values which will make you a man of culture. An engineer has not merely to build bridges; he has to be a devoted husband, a kind of father, a friendly neighbor, a dutiful citizen, and a man true to himself. He will have trials and tribulations; his heart will fail him at times; he will then need the strength which true culture alone can give.

Ideal education should impart knowledge, shape the character, and mould the personality of the child; it should assist him in imbibing and assimilating the social, moral, ethical, and spiritual values so necessary for the development of an attitude of service. Effective education should help in transforming the child into what our Shastras describe as “Puranapurasha”.

At Sri Navanandi High School curriculum plays a very important role as we at SNHS believe that learning is not just about teaching, books and lessons but much more than that. At SNHS the emphasis is more on the overall development of the child, as we understand that schooling is the time in the life of every child, which influences their future.

To do this, creation of top class infrastructure facilities and a favourable atmosphere is a must for any child to learn not just academics but lessons of life, character, ethics and values. At SNHS we impart all these qualities in the children so that they emerge as responsible individuals.

Sri Navanandi High School has a curriculum that is integrated. The curriculum is concept oriented rather than exam oriented. At SNHS the curriculum is designed keeping in view the overall development of a child. The classroom is the nerve center of the activities that are undertaken in shaping and grooming the leaders of tomorrow. The integrated curriculum not only concentrates on the academics but also on the qualitative development of every individual child.

Our strength lies in our ability to maintain the completeness of our programs, offering unique and important options to each and every person and providing a way to evaluate each student’s learning to ensure that we all continue to grow and we remain completely accountable to our community.
