School Comes Alive!
Blooming with flowers and lush green, the campus welcomes children from across grades to fill it with their laughter and unbridled joy.
Our design to bring children back to school has been well structured and planned. With Sports being at the forefront of orientation, the school grounds have come alive with the agility and energy of our children. The classrooms have been live wire with learning in the physical space in synch with parallel online teaching. The Role of the Teacher cannot ever be underestimated. Children's safety is our top-most priority and proper arrangements have been made in the classrooms keeping all safety norms and protocols intact. Air Purifiers are well installed in each classrooms to maintain the AQI Levels. Our Grade X Children sit for their Term 1 Baord Examination as well.
Life has thrown curved balls at us and we have learnt to deal with them, working through the pandemic, adapting to the paradigm shifts in teaching learning design.
We are committed to building meaningful, rich and life long experiences for our children and being the one stop educational solution in your city.
Hybrid Learning
The reopening of the school campus has been planned and curated in a deeply considered and measured way. For all grades, we have first begun with the Sports Program. To experience the campus, enjoy the vastness and openness especially when the children have been in a 'locked in' mode, has helped them a great deal to reorient, recalibrate, return to campus, with the new safety protocols in place.
Sharing a glimpse.
In Conversation with Ms. Bulbul Sharma
On 27th October, 2021, an interactive online author's session was organized with Ms. Bulbul Sharma , a versatile author and painter. She has written five collections of short stories, a novel, non-fiction and some of the most-loved books for children, including Tales of Fabled Beasts, Gods and Demons and The Ramayana.
The students witnessed a narration of short stories from her book, Fantastic Creatures in Indian Mythology and had a wonderful opportunity to interact with her. Discussions about the mythological creatures sparked students' imagination and curiosity. The students also greatly benefitted when the author shared some insights on essential writing techniques which left an impressionable impact on young minds.

Science Engagement day
8 of our Grade 11 Science students visited the Shiv Nadar University on Friday, 23rd October for the "Science Engagement day". The students got to interact with scientists, professors and undergraduate students who ignited their curiosity by unravelling the wonders of Science. Dr Sanjeev Galande’s introductory session showcased the interdisciplinary nature of scientific research. Students who visited the Biology lab could witness and perform the DNA gel electrophoresis, which they had read only in textbooks. At the Physics lab, students were excited to witness the "Wave nature of electrons", Newton's ring and other experiments which were beyond the reach of the school labs. At the Chemistry lab, students got to observe and understand the setup of NMR spectroscopy, X-Ray Diffraction Crystallography, Gas chromatography, HPLC, IR spectroscopy, Mass spectroscopy, UV spectroscopy etc. The event helped bridge the gap between senior school teachers, students and researchers/professors for a deeper understanding of Natural Sciences, and was a step towards encouraging the students to pursue a career in scientific research.
Walk the Talk - Mr. Mr. Praneet Singh
Walk the Talk is one such initiative wherein experts from different fields come to talk to students. Such sessions serve to dispel existing queries regarding certain career choices, as well as to inform students on new and emerging professional and academic domains. These sessions are primarily for grade IX and X for them to explore various careers that exist. One such conversation was with Mr. Mr. Praneet Singh on EMERGENT CAREERS IN THE AI DOMAINTED WORLD.
Glimpse of the Session.
Parents’ Trident - Vol. 2
Parents’ Trident is only an effort to engage parents productively and to acknowledge their creative thoughts and expression.

School Comes Alive!
Shiv Nadar School Faridabad is surging forward to successfully close Term 1 of this Academic Session. While the Middle school Students have concluded their Feedback Cycle 2 last week and the Senior School started today, I am happy to share with you that we had 96% attendance of students from grades 9 to 11 to write their mid term exams, on campus.
The reopening of the school campus has been planned and curated in a deeply considered and measured way. For all grades, we have first begun with the Sports Program. To experience the campus, enjoy the vastness and openness especially when the children have been in a 'locked in' mode, has helped them a great deal to reorient, recalibrate, return to campus, with the new safety protocols in place.
For the last few weeks, the footfall of grades 4 to 8 on campus for structured games and team sport activities has been a delight to witness. We start with Sports Classes for Grades 1 to 3 as well from today.
Encouraged by the success of our upended safety provisions and teacher turn out ratio on the campus.
We are keen to open in a staggered and balanced way, without haste, keeping safety of all stakeholders in sharp focus.
