Infrastructure
The fundamental
objective of Excellence is to create and sustain an environment in which
children can learn, explore and discover themselves and the world around
them. We attempt to achieve this by providing the three vital components
in shaping the child - Values, Knowledge and Vision.
1. Library
2. Audio Visual
3. Laboratories
4. Music
5. Art
6. Computer Labs
7. Use Of Technology.
Library
Our library has two primary functions:
· The first is to support the reading programmes in our Schools.
Up to XII, reading guidance and instruction are required and librarians
are taught how to assist in this process.
The second primary function is to provide reading material to support
the curriculum.Our Library is equipped with Latest Model Computers and
Internet facility to provide the students up-to-date information.
Audio Visual
Television, video, audio-tape machines, overhead projectors and library
listening posts are used variously with excellent results. The need to
develop listening skills is essential for reading advancement and for
the retention of study information which is such a primary part of learning
at all levels.
Laboratories
EES is proud of its well-equipped laboratories, which facilitate the practical
experiments necessary for the general science curriculum. Up-to-date apparatus
is supplied, giving pupils every possible advantage and ample opportunity
to experiment.
Children in higher Classes enjoy the broader opportunities offered by
simple laboratory experiments and make rapid progress in learning the
tables and symbols related to their science syllabi. Science Open Days
provide exciting opportunities for students to display their growing knowledge
to parents and other visitors to the School.
Music
Music is an essential part
of the curriculum. Students learn to sing, recite rhythmic poems, play
various instruments and in the more advanced classes, some even compose
their own melodies. Small children quickly learn counting and movement
related songs, which rapidly improve their skills in these areas.
Art
Art is one of the most popular classes in any school and our students
have demonstrated outstanding creativity in this field. Pottery, jewellery-making
drawing, painting, model-making and needlework are taught in the various
art classes.
Computer
Labs
EES computer labs are equipped with latest models of Pentium computers.
Use
Of Technology
In the world of the 21st Century
we are constantly bombarded with a million times more information than
our ancestors ever conceived of and the Internet is both a blessing and
a curse. Relevant technology with appropriate teacher guidance can help
us to separate the gold from the dross.
The flexibility of the Pathways building design is complemented by Information
Age technology, which is the servant of the student, the teacher and curriculum.
The computer is viewed as a tool rather than an end in itself. The school
has a minimum of hard-wired or desktop computers and all Secondary School
students have laptops. This flexibility is particularly valuable within
the classroom or laboratory where seating plans and furniture distribution
change constantly to reflect the multiple needs of the curriculum. The
school server maintains a broadband connection throughout the 365 days
of the year, giving each student continuous (monitored) access via the
school’s intranet to the resources of the Internet. The essence
of Anywhere-Anytime learning is that it is exactly what it says it is.
Information can be accessed out of class hours and questions arising can
be referred to the teacher when appropriate. Our reporting system will
be computerised and parents will be able to track their children’s
progress on the Internet.
