In IT, students will learn the skills of using Typing Tutor, Windows (creating files & folders), MS PowerPoint, MS word, use of Internet as a research and communication tool (Internet, emailing, search engines). |

Citizenship
We firmly believe that these formative years are character building years. Children develop skills, aptitudes and attitudes that will eventually lead to their wellbeing. One of the step towards this is the Citizenship Programme that grade 4 will be undertaking. We will be partnering with Akshay Patra.
The inter-intra personal, adaptability, creative thinking and craftsmanship beacons will also be addressed through the year. |
| |
Creativity, inter/intrapersonal, problem solving and craftsmanship skills will be an integral part of all our activities.
For any further concerns please feel free to get in touch with us.

Priti & Hetal |
