Ideation and design thinking are prerequisite to all innovations. Students at VGS are actively engaged in such processes through STEAM activities, which are strongly supported by ATAL Tinkering and 3D Labs in the school. Students are challenged with problems on weekly basis, which they are encouraged to solve creatively. VGS students have been performing exceptionally well in related events at national and international levels.
In VGS, we strive to develop self-confident and rational individuals who are able to strongly and effectively communicate their opinions and beliefs through engaging activities, such as, debates and deliberations,and extempore and group discussions.
Art and Culture have unique place in the VGS curriculum. Students learn to convey messages, ideas, and expressions where words fall short. These are the medium that enables one to connect directly with people´s heart and body, more than to the mind, which enables art to actually shift mindsets in a more profound way than other forms of communication.
Art and cultural expressions are promoted in the school in the form of theatre, painting, sculpture, poetry, music, dance, story-telling, etc.
“Let’s together make the world happier and start it from the classrooms”
A VGS classroom is a space where happiness takes precedence, and children are always met with smiles. A space perked up with warmth and positivity, where children’s wellbeing is as important as their academic achievements.
