THINKING SKILLS
Education is not the learning of facts, but training the mind to think, said Albert Einstein. It is a sacred duty of all schools and teachers to bring out the best out of the students, as every child is blessed with an enormous potential. Thinking skills bring out the critical analysis within the child, it prepares the child for future.
PLACE OF LEARNING MATTERS
The question often comes to mind what should be the school for my child to harness his or her innate talents, a best day school or the Best Boarding School India? Both have their merits and demerits but I personally believe the best place for your child is an international boarding school. The place of learning matters a lot, a school nestled in lush green mountains, away from the madding urban crowds, in a pristine pollution free environment and distant from distracting internet social platform is ideal. The school is all about learning as well as bonding, the latter being an investment for life as friendships of school days help in forging the alliances in the world of business, academics as well as social help groups. The best boarding schools in India have a very carefully selected teaching faculty, one that excels in the art of transferring academic and life skills.
STUDENT TEACHER RATIO
Since the number of students in the class are less and both teachers and students live in the same campus, each student receives individual attention and guidance, in the class or off class. Many great personality traits are learnt by the students from their affectionate teachers, off class; in the library, sports arena, trekking trips or simply when dining together. The best boarding schools in India have great sports facilities, both indoor and outdoor. While knowledge is gained in the class, the character, mental toughness and wisdom is gained on the playground. The world is not an individual playground anymore.
TEAM WORK
The first lessons in teamwork are actually learnt on the football or cricket ground. The best boarding schools in India teach students to be self-reliant and independent. Away from their families, they are off on their own; learning the art of building relationships with class- mates, teachers and staff. The residential schools in India give them more time to interact and learn from each other, gaining a mature mind early in life. The teachers on the campus also help them to sort out their personal issues in a more neutral way than the parents.
LIBRARY
The best boarding schools have great libraries, with every book title and author very carefully selected. Because books are crystallized wisdom of the men of intellect and reading them is the easiest way to acquire the distillation. The children in boarding schools generally have more time to, saved from the unnecessary daily commutes that are devoted to reading books. The teachers conduct regular book reading sessions and critical analysis of the idea or plot in the book. This broadens the intellectual capacity and world view of children in the best residential schools in India.
INTERNATIONAL CURRICULUM

Whether it is Pure Sciences, Math, Arts, Computers Science, English, Commerce, Business Studies, Economics etc. The parents and our students get to choose from the very best subjects taught by an exceptional faculty.
