Medical Room

The health of our students is our top priority.

Shanti Niketan School has an excellent medical room on campus, with medical professionals and support staff available during school hours. Regular health checkups are conducted class-wise for all students, and minor ailments are treated promptly.

At the time of admission, we collect each student’s medical records—including information on any allergies—which are referred to whenever the student visits the medical room.

We not only take care of our students’ health but also guide them on hygiene and preventive care essential during their years of rapid physical development. If a child is feeling unwell, a teacher or house parent will accompany them to the doctor for immediate attention.

Smart Class Rooms

Smartboard technology in classrooms is one of the best ways to enhance students’ learning experiences by projecting visual elements that support understanding and engagement. It is an innovative tool that improves both teaching and learning by offering a digital platform for notes, providing access to online resources, and making lessons more interactive and enjoyable.

Smartboards promote a health-friendly learning environment, improve communication, and enhance students’ academic performance. Teachers and students can better identify individual strengths and weaknesses in various subjects, and focus on areas that need improvement.

Using smart classrooms helps us stay ahead with technology, simplifies the education process, and increases students' interest in learning.

Computer Lab

The school has two well-equipped computer laboratories, each with 30 computers, accessible to students across different classes. It boasts advanced infrastructure in terms of both hardware and software, catering to the needs of students, teachers, and the curriculum. The school has a dedicated broadband Internet connection and a fully Wi-Fi-enabled campus, allowing enterprising students to become familiar with online tools and conduct comprehensive research for their projects and presentations.

The department is staffed with qualified and dedicated teachers who instruct students at various levels—Primary, Secondary, and Senior Secondary. The faculty ensures that students gain practical expertise in applying the tools and concepts included in their curriculum.

The curriculum is designed to expose students to a variety of technologies and software. In the primary section, students are trained in basic applications such as Windows and MS Office (including MS Word, MS PowerPoint, and MS Excel). Additionally, they are introduced to elementary programming through languages like Python, helping to build their logical reasoning skills.

Students are regularly assessed on their practical abilities through assignments and projects. In higher classes, they have the opportunity to explore advanced software, programming languages, and database management system (DBMS) skills, all of which are integrated into the curriculum. To further enhance their problem-solving and logical thinking abilities, students also learn computer languages such as HTML and Python.

Beyond the curriculum, students are encouraged to participate in various competitions. Faculty members work diligently with them to prepare for and meet the challenges of national-level academic and technical contests.

Mathematics Lab

How Children Learn Mathematics

Children acquire mathematical understanding by constructing their own meaning through increasingly abstract levels. They begin by exploring their personal experiences, existing understandings, and prior knowledge.

To support this, hands-on materials and manipulatives are provided, allowing students to touch, feel, and interact with objects as they grasp mathematical concepts. For example, place value blocks help teach the concept of place value. Manipulatives are used across various topics to make learning engaging and concrete.

Purpose of the Math Lab

The Mathematics Laboratory aims to emphasize learning by doing and through hands-on experience. It provides students with opportunities to discover and understand mathematical concepts through active problem-solving and exploration.

Key objectives include:

• Developing physical involvement to support cognitive development
• Encouraging students to think critically, recognize patterns, and ask questions
• Fostering curiosity and a spirit of inquiry toward mathematics
• Helping students internalize fundamental mathematical concepts through concrete situations
• Providing opportunities for individual participation and repeated practice
• Building confidence and interest in learning mathematics
• Encouraging autonomy by allowing students to learn at their own pace
• Facilitating group learning to enhance conceptual understanding
• Demonstrating real-life applications of mathematics
• Expanding students’ experimental base to support future learning

Our mathematics laboratory is well-equipped for all grade levels and supports a wide range of activities. All tasks involve both the mind and hands working together, which enhances cognition and deepens understanding.

Through engaging laboratory activities, students develop a sustained interest in mathematics and grow into confident, independent learners.
