The aim of our education is to fill the gap between the content of education and the living experience of the pupils by linking education with different life skills. Life skills are abilities for adaptive and positive behaviour that enables individuals to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life. We help our students develop positive social skills and community values through a co-ordinated programme that includes all aspects of school life. Students learn to function as caring, cooperative, and contributing members of the society. We believe in empowering students to develop critical and creative thinking styles that would help them realize their potential. We try to develop in our students general skills related to a wide variety of areas such as health and social needs and certain core life skills such as problem solving, critical thinking, communication, self awareness coping with stress, decision making, interpersonal relationships and empathy which are of critical importance for a successful living.

The curriculum in designed to cover a wide range of subjects like science, history, civics, geography, language arts and mathematics, through transdisciplinary teaching The visual and performing arts as well as physical education are an integral part of the curriculum. It enables students to gain an understanding and appreciation of India and global issues and provides a program of active, child-centered learning based on a progression from concrete to abstract thinking.

Our classes are interactive having an average of 20 students each. Students don’t sit in class day after day, listening to the teacher’s lecture. Extensive research has shown that the best learning method is through constant teamwork and collaboration. Not only is it more fun and more effective, it is the way the world works and best prepares one for life beyond the classroom.

Along with emphasis on the Academic programme our aim is through our value education to foster in our students a sense of common humanity. The spirit of social service is inculcated from an early age. We give our student time to a reflect and appreciate the beauty and wonder around them and also be sensitive to the pain and suffering in the world and to be prepared to face the challenges with courage and make a difference where ever they can. Trying to show young people what it means to live a fulfilled human life is the core of the VGS education.
