"Nature nourishes the body and the mind"

In this age of rapid technological advancement, it is imperative that we reconnect to nature and nurture sensitivity in our children. Cognizant of this need, classrooms have been consciously designed and finer details have been taken into account.

The Junior block has 45 airy spacious classrooms. All classrooms have expansive glass windows that open out to verdant spaces, allowing lot of natural light to come inside the classrooms.

The Junior Block School comprises of children from classes I to VII. . The building has been very consciously built only at two levels so that children do not climb many floors. We run classes I to III at the lower level, and classes IV to VII at the second level .The classrooms are colour coded for easy identification. All classrooms at the first level are in orange and classrooms at the second level are in green. All staff rooms are in maroon and all common activity rooms are coloured in brown

The courtyards are the highlights of our physical infrastructure. All classes open to green courtyards and give children a feeling of being very close to nature. Learning is not restricted to the precincts of the classrooms. Ample courtyard spaces transport children on a creative jaunt where they work effectively in teams. Each courtyard has been designed as an extension of the classroom. Some courtyards have been built into a small amphitheatre which can be used by the little children to have their drama classes. The courtyards near the art and drama rooms are designed to have classes even outside.

Aesthetically and ergonomically designed furniture that is color coded has been provided depending on the class levels. Low level bright color furniture for primary children, intermediate level furniture for Middle school have been designed

The Junior Block is designed in a manner that classes I to III have their own facilities – computer lab, junior science lab, language lab, mathematics lab, audio-visual room, art room and pottery room. Classes IV to VII have 3 computer labs, mathematics lab, language lab, humanities lab.

The senior block is a L shaped building and comprises of high school students from classes 8 to 10 and senior secondary school students of classes 11 and 12. We have separate Physics, Chemistry and biology labs for high and senior secondary school students. Students of classes VIII to X have their own mathematics lab, language lab, humanities lab, audiovisual room and art room. Every classroom has large windows that suffuse the room with natural light. The view outside invigorates the mind and acts as an emollient for tired eyes.

The corridors outside the classrooms have sayings that provide food for thought. Digital signage boards at various locations display information that is of academic interest.

The landscape designed within and outside the school provides lot of free flowing spaces amidst greenery and shrubs. Gardening spaces are earmarked for children separately within the school to allow them to experiment with organic and other kinds of farming. Tress of different kinds have been planted and children, as part of their science project will be encouraged to write the common, biological names of trees and their uses.

We plan to establish a Science Park which is a cluster of open air science gadgets installed for play way learning of science. Science Park is an innovative concept of teaching science in an informal way. The basic concept of Science Park is enhancing the tendency of the children to play more than to read. In this park, we plan to have aesthetically designed and ruggedly fabricated science gadgets to benefit learners at every level, fusing scientific reasoning and fun!

The architecture and design of the building give scope for a lot of creativity within the building. We plan to involve children and upcoming artists and paint these creative spaces using different kinds of medium. We shall constantly endeavour to create exclusive artistic spaces as the school evolves.

Our school has well equipped computer labs with state of the art infrastructure. Thin client- blade-server technology has been implemented. Blades are slim, mini servers mounted in a chassis in rows. Each blade has memory, processors, storage and network software with applications and operating systems. The blades are connected to servers located in separate server rooms.

Two computer labs in the junior block with adjoining theory rooms house 80 thin clients attached to flat screen monitors, moving away from the traditional desktop scenario. A multimedia lab with 32 high end digital workstations has also been setup.

Two computer labs with theory rooms incorporating latest technology are provided for the use of senior students. The internet is a repository of information for easy reference and this is used extensively by teachers and students to keep abreast of latest developments. Students work regularly on technology to present academic projects.

An audiovisual room that can seat around 50 people is situated in the junior block and in the senior block.

Nestled between the junior and the senior block is the amphitheatre. The amphitheatre can seat 500 people.

Sri Kumaran CBSE Library, is a place where one can lose sense of time and place, lose one's identity while traveling through the myriad scenarios and situations with literature’s most famous heroes, immersing oneself in books of poetry and becoming privy to the world's best guarded secrets by browsing through the tomes of encyclopedias.

The Junior Library spreads over a vast area divided into four levels. Three levels accommodating the primary school children and the middle school children; a mezzanine level is used as a reference section. Low level colorful furniture and thought fully designed open reading space add to the pleasure of reading. The mezzanine and top levels open out to scenic beauty taking the reader to a different world. The courtyard near the library is a serene place that can be exclusively used for reading

The selection of books is done with care – stocks are upgraded continuously with the ever-alert library staff sometimes conferring with knowledgeable students to find out about popular tastes! The aim of the library is definitely to bring even the non-reader into its fold.

The dog-eared books bear testimony to the fact that reading is still a favourite hobby in this age of the Internet; the eagerness with which children make a beeline for the library speaks volumes.

Helping the students to dive deep into the ocean of knowledge are the numerous series of encyclopedias – Grolier International, World Book, Dorling Kindersley, Time Life, Illustrated encyclopedias of Science and those of Wild Life, Charlie Brown’s Encyclopedia for Children and Child Craft. Specialized knowledge books include History Encyclopedia, History of the World and Time Warner Discovery Books.

The number of books in the library exceeds 13,000 and it can be concluded that the student / book ratio is a good one. Borrowing facilities start from Class I onwards and each child from Class I can borrow 2-4 books at a time. The school believes that it will address two long-term needs: inculcate the reading habit and teach the tiny tots to manage school property.

We have two art rooms that are used by children for their craft and drawing classes. The school has an ethnically designed pottery room where children of Classes I to V have their pottery classes. The pottery centre is every child's delight where their nimble fingers create exquisite pieces of art. In order to help children know various processes of clay modeling, a kiln has been built and various pieces of art done by the students are baked and given back to the children. Pottery areas also have wash basins for children to wash when they finish the class.

Art room has furniture coated with polypropylene material that enables easy cleaning in case of spills. No mess, no fuss-the creator concentrated only on the craft. Courtyards adjacent to art rooms double up as extended art classrooms whenever more space is required.

Playing and physical exercise are vital to all. Children are exposed to different games at the junior and senior levels. A concrete basketball court and football court attract students to take up sports with vigour. Front and rear areas of the building have been utilized as playgrounds. A large sand pit, jungle gym amidst greenery excites the little ones. A dribble court with shooting baskets is provided for middle school children.

The school has a first aid centre. If a child is unwell or has had an accident, teachers send the child to the Health Centre and basic medication and first aid is given. If a child needs hospitalization, it is also arranged with the consent of the parent .If a child is sick and needs to be taken home, the school calls and informs the parents.

There are 3 beds in the junior block in case of any emergency and a 4 bed medical room in the senior block. We have a doctor and nurses who are present on all working days. We have an ambulance stationed in the school during the working days.

Every year, we have a basic medical check up done in the school and if we need parents to further the medical investigations regarding eye, ears and throat and general medical health, a note is sent to them. It is the parent’s prerogative to take it up further.
