A wholesome education providing equal opportunities to develop excellence in academics, sports or through other activities is extremely vital for a student to either develop a new interest or strengthen existing passion. Going beyond the regular curriculum to achieve this is Care International School (CIS), which heightens the learning experience through sports, creative arts and technology along with academics for stimulating holistic development; there by preparing students to be future ready. Spread over a 40 acre serene campus, the school boasts of separate play grounds for cricket, football, tennis, hand ball, kho-kho, athletics and even houses a four court indoor basketball stadium.

Equipped with digital classrooms and library, the school follows a unique teaching methodology of international standards for Nursery (experiential learning to develop skills) and CBSE syllabus from grade 1 onwards (inclusive of training for competitive exams in the higher classes). Maintaining a good teacher-student ratio (1:20)allows the teacher to give individual attention to students. The extracurricular activities range from performing arts (vocal music, instruments and dance), sports (skating, gymnastics, Silambam among others) to STEM

activities (robotics and game designing) and students are given ample opportunities to showcase their talent in multiple platforms (intra-school, inter-school, and international exposure through IIMUN). “We also keep the parents in the loop with PTMs and involve them in various school activities,” proclaims Aarthy Nehru, CEO, CIS.
