WHY A
SCHOOL WITH
DAY
BOARDING CONCEPT
Comprehensive and
holistic education through a developmental approach is the
need of the hour. For a system of education to be considered
wholesome it is imperative that games and sports occupy
prominent place in the school curriculum. Like-wise,
co-curricular activities leading to creative activities
pursued happily for rest and relaxation on regular basis go a
long way in contributing to the wholesomeness of education.To add all this
in a day’s time-table, it becomes important for a student to
spend longer hours in the school.
A day boarding school with long hours provides opportunity to
the children to complete their academic work during the school
hours. This facilitates a child going home to only spend time
on activities which are enriching. A child is not burdened
with carrying a heavy school bag daily to school as his books
are kept in an independent locker within the classroom.
Another point where a day boarding school vastly differs from
other schools is that the student-teacher ratio is kept within
manageable limits, so that even the shy, withdrawn and
diffident students feel encouraged to clarify their doubts and
interact with the teacher. This enables each teacher to reach
out and help a child understand the curriculum, enjoy learning
and allied activities during the school hours. Therefore,
there are no back benchers.
The
school also provides opportunity to the child to
develop good eating habits - avoid fussing on food
and learn to enjoy well-cooked, nutritious and a
balanced diet provided by the school. Learning to
share, developing manners is an incidental learning
pattern that occurs by itself. It is with this view that
the school provides them with meals i.e. breakfast,
lunch and juice from automated kitchen.
Disintegration of the joint family system,
increasing competition, economic liberalization
leave nuclear families with no other option but to
let the child spend long hours after school with
nannies, drivers or in ill-equipped crèches. The
chances of children watching undesirable
programmes
on television or surfing an internet site which is not
intended for them are great. Therefore, the long day
school is of paramount importance so that the child is
under the supervision of responsible and committed
teachers.
The long day school concept is a blessing for working
parents so that the child is under the supervision of
understanding, caring and committed teachers. We firmly
believe that a parent's job is to give to the child
time, to share love and imbibe the moral values which
are so essential for the development of the child.
