Life Skills

The Shri Ram School strongly believes that it is imperative to impart life skills to become independent and self sufficient adults in this progressive world, from very early in life. Personal care, healthy nutrition, organization skills, community and social skills and self development are an integral part of the life skills curriculum. The skills are reinforced by encouraging conversation about them, role-playing, and modelling them in daily life. Life skills are also imparted through the Circle Time which is an integral part of every class room in the junior school.

It gives an opportunity for children to express their thoughts and feelings related to various issues. It goes a long way in helping develop a strong bond between the teacher and the children. The campus also has a full time counsellor whom children can approach to share their aspirations, doubts and feelings. Sessions are conducted at individual, small group, as well as the entire class level on issues like friendship, bullying and others. ‘Growing Up’ workshops are also conducted for children to take them through the biological, psychological and emotional process of development at pre-teen level.
The Life skills curriculum is bifurcated into Monthly modules which have graded (age appropriate) key thoughts to ensure parity in the use of key gestures and terminology throughout the junior school. These modules are revisited, reviewed and revised regularly.
