Physical
The physical health and fitness of pupils is of great importance. We provide at least four sessions of physical education each week besides extra-curricular activities. Pupils are carefully taught to compete with courage and commitment. They learn to win with humility and lose with dignity.
Good nutrition is essential. Lunches are vegetarian and are prepared on the premises using wholesome, fresh food.

Mental
Pupils are encouraged to achieve at high levels and to excel in their work. Through a wide ranging curriculum children are taught the fundamental principles of each subject.

Emotional
The pupil's emotional well-being depends on them feeling happy and at ease in school. Each child's needs are considered by the teacher and provided for through trust, love and respect. Pupils are encouraged to show consideration for others in their behaviour. To strengthen this we ensure that a strong relationship between parents and teachers is developed.

Spiritual
Pupils are introduced to the words, stories and examples of great spiritual teachers throughout history and encouraged to practice this wisdom in their daily lives. This is made possible through a daily assembly and the weekly philosophy lesson involves discussion of great spiritual ideas. The children are asked to try these out and report their experiences. Older pupils are offered the opportunity to meditate, which engenders a source of inner strength.
The discipline in the school is maintained by encouraging pupils to aspire to the values introduced in the philosophy.
Sanskrit: Sanskrit is the finest classical language and is the root of all Indo-European languages. It has a strong spiritual connection and the course has been developed to be fun, challenging and interesting for children. Learning Sanskrit gives the children a basic understanding of how language works.It aids articulation, memory and clarity of thought.
