Empowering Future-Ready Learners: Grade 5 BYOD Orientation
At Shiv Nadar School, Faridabad, we continuously innovate to enhance learning experiences. Over the past five years, our Digital Ecosystem has evolved from a 1:1 iPad Program (2019) to a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) model (2021) for Middle School and beyond, fostering deeper engagement and personalized learning.
We are proud to share that our commitment to technology-driven education has earned us the prestigious Apple Distinguished School recognition in 2024, placing us among the world’s leading institutions in digital excellence.
To help parents understand this technology-powered learning journey, we conducted the BYOD Orientation for Grade 5 parents across two days — 27th February 2025 and 1st March 2025.
Session Highlights
- Impact of Digital Learning: How technology enhances creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking.
- Digital Policy: Responsible device usage at school and at home.
- Live Demonstrations: Parents participated in Simulated Class Connect sessions, experiencing firsthand how digital tools are seamlessly integrated into core subjects like Hindi, Social Science, Math, and Science.
The orientation provided parents with valuable insight into our digital learning environment, the policies in place, and how technology empowers student learning at Shiv Nadar School, Faridabad.

Newsletter from the Principal's Desk...Closing the Year
Dear Parent
The year has been phenomenal, unpredictable and extraordinary in every sense. I remember writing to you at the beginning of the session in April 2020, where I quoted Lenin, 'There are decades where nothing happens and there are weeks where decades happen', describing the revolution of a 100 years ago. His words deftly encapsulated the situation in the world at the dawn of 2020 and continue to pulsate in our lives.
The structural and strategic changes we have witnessed in Education in this last one year have been remarkable. What stands out most is that we have much to be thankful for.
Our children are blessed to be in homes that have a stockpile of supplies, secure, loving environs, digital devices, uninterrupted internet, a clear pathway and possibility to continue their learning that has saved them from a ruinous gap year, which is the unfortunate destiny of many children in our country; children who lost out on learning, reading, schooling, and above all lost their childhood.
I feel compelled to write this in my year end letter to you, it is imperative that our children count their blessings and focus on the gains of the year than the gaps. It is important they remain grateful and humble. It is crucial. you'll agree, that they remember how privileged and fortunate they are.
The year has built immense reservoirs of patience and resilience in us all. Children have become more self reliant. empathetic and displayed a maturity that defies their young years.
Every child has been heroic in his/her endeavours and adapted to a novel way of living, learning, evolving.
Whilst all children have scaled many mountains in this year, I am happy to share with you certain defining accomplishments of the year gone by.

An Update from the Principal's Desk
Dear Parent
I hope for wellness and good health in your family.
I write to inform you that there is an exponential rise in Covid infections in my team, in their families and immediate community. We are struggling to keep our online classes regular and uninterrupted for the Foundational grades. Many parents who are sailing through the same storm, have also written that it is challenging for them to support and enable their child during the online classes.
We are constrained to inform you that we will be suspending online classes for Nursery to Grades 2 from April 28thto 30thMay and consider this as their summer break. On 15thMay we will review the situation and let you know how we will proceed in the given circumstances. Communication will be regular and seamless from our end.
That said, offline work, asynchronous engagement, Aha engagement and Holiday enrichment will be sent to you as frequently as possible. You may take some time out whenever you have the window and relive the sense of joy of doing engaging, interesting learning activities with your child.
I assure you that the year will not result in a gap year for your child. When 2020 hit us, we invested in training, technology, reskilling and more to make sure our online learning model led to rich, meaningful learning for each child. We will do the same, again. There will be no loss whatsoever of academic milestones and children will continue their journey to learn with joy and learn for life. The Holiday enrichment and offline work will also be designed with these objectives in mind.
At present the priority is health. To stay afloat and get out of the eye of this storm keeping our resilience, equanimity and combativeness intact. We wish the same for you. Just hold on and let us journey together and see better times soon.
We will stay connected. Be assured that you can reach out to the teachers, me for any assistance, support whatsoever.
My prayers for your family and all loved ones. May our community be safe again and our fellow citizens experience wellness and good health.
Best Regards

Congratulations to Our First Grade X - Batch
During the ravages of the Pandemic and switching to Digital Online Learning, our First batch of 33 grade 10 students and tirelessteachers have done us proud.
Our children have shown exceptional resilience, grit and stamina to learn through new tools and in the most adverse and unforeseen of circumstances.
Our tireless teachers have navigated through their homes and work, been mother, brother, sister, guide and counselor to each child to keep the ship sailing on an even keel. Our grade 10 parents have battled with the adolescent temperaments, expectations, aspirations and family commitments to support and guide the children through these tumultuous times.
We congratulateevery single child who has crossed this milestone in their academic career today. Each one of them has worked to the best of their competency, capacity and ability. I am certain that the journey has been a learning one and rewarding in every way despite the turbulent times. The possibilities to learn in multiple ways have been enormous.

Independence Day 2021
Today, on the occasion of India's 75th Independence Day, most of us will be cherishing the idea and ideals of freedom even more, having had a taste of what a curb on basic freedom feels like in the last couple of months.
As we design the future, let us carry with us the same virtues that our leaders held so dear during the freedom struggle.
Together, let us strive towards an education and societal pradigm that gives us independance of thought, resolve and action.
Shiv Nadar School, Faridabad hoisted the National Flag on the school campus with few students, parents and faculty members. The event was also live for our children to witness the event from their respective homes. Here is a glimpse:https://youtu.be/9AnFm9NOa3U
