School At a Glance

According to school’s name swami Vivekananda said Education is not the amount of information that we put into your brain and runs riot there, undigested, all your life. We must have life building, man making, character making assimilation of ideas. He also said only positive education should be given to children. According to Vivekananda a country's future depends on its people, stating that "man-making is my mission." The students of The Vivekanand (BM) Sr. Sec. School are encouraged to develop the habits of mind in a joyful learning experience. To that end, school offers a broad, rich and challenging curriculum. Academic offerings are traditional in structure yet, with a broad exposure to the liberal arts like theatre, dance, drama, singing, art & craft, designing, animation, adobe, multimedia, sports academies and selective opportunities to pursue individual interests. Here at Vivekanand (BM) Sr. Sec. School the effort is to provide challenging classroom experiences designed to encourage curiosity, self-expression, joy, and aesthetic sensibility. Classes are small and teachers encourage students to participate actively in discussion, to work together creatively to solve problems, to communicate their ideas effectively, and to learn from each other. International School curriculum can be demanding, but the culture of the school is also caring and supportive. Students build personal bonding with their teachers. The atmosphere is one of cooperation and a shared endeavor in the pursuit of learning and growth. Extra help outside of the classroom is an important element of the school culture as teachers recognize their students’ individual needs and learning styles. We believe that students learn best when they can trust in their teachers’ kindness and understanding and when the classroom is a place for all questions and ideas. The underlying philosophy of multiple intelligences is evident in the curriculum as it weaves its way through inter curricular links. What to teach and how to teach are the two most important decisions the faculty makes. The Vivekanand (BM) Sr. Sec. School has always viewed program evaluation as an important ongoing activity in the school to ensure effective delivery of the academic plan inside the classroom. Curriculum revision has always been orchestrated by departments or by individual teachers under the opinions and guidance of expert educators. We define ourselves as a community of learning, one that educates students from diverse backgrounds to a full measure of their talents and humanity. Together, we seek to : Foster the courage to live and think as distinct individuals who embrace their responsibilities in the larger world. Expose every student to the deep satisfaction that drives from service to others. Enlarge the education experience to include the creative joy & aesthetic sensibility of the artist, and the vitality & competitive spirit of the athlete. Develop in our young minds the habits of mind of scholars as the foundation for a lifelong love of learning. Nurture the development of character to leading a purposeful life.
