We have an excellent in-house transport facility keeping in mind the safety of our children.

The students travel to and fro in school buses (seating for 40). Each bus, in addition to the driver has a male and a female attendant. The attendants and the driver are provided with cell phones and are therefore easily accessible.

MEDICAL SERVICES

Arrangements are made with M/S Ayaksha Healthcare Pvt Ltd for providing health-care diagnostic services in the school premises. Ayaksha, in collaboration with the School has set up a clinic in the School headed by a full-time trained nurse to look into the daily health care, routine injuries and health-related complaints. A medical record card is maintained for each and every child.

Doctor is called from Criticare Hospital in case of emergency.

ACCIDENTAL POLICY

Arrangements are made with TATA AIG for providing accidental insurance. This policy covers accidents in school, at home and anywhere in India or abroad.

IN-HOUSE COUNSELLING

The school took its first baby steps toward inclusive education in 1999, when a clinical psychologist was hired on a part time basis. Driven by the vision of inclusive education, Principal Mrs. Armaity Engineer voiced her desire to give admissions to children with various kinds of special needs. This was positively received by the management, which paved the way for the employment of a school psychologist. The first child with special needs admitted in the nursery class had speech delays. Soon the school opened its doors and its heart to all children with challenges, and since then, there has been no looking back.

Today, the resource room comprises of two clinical psychologists and one special educator. Over the years, the school has given admission to, and successfully managed children with various kinds and degrees of learning disability, children with mild to severe attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder, children across the autism spectrum. Children with physical disabilities such as cerebral palsy, visual impairments, hearing impairments, speech delays are also welcomed.

The resource room conducts individual counselling and remedial sessions, workshops for students, teachers and parents as well as psychometric assessments on staff and students as and when required.
