The school describes its education as a mix of academics, arts, athletics, co-curricular activities and a strong sense of community service.[4] Projects and awards in science, arts and social sciences are an important feature of the curriculum. NCC,[clarification needed] scouts and guides have played an important part of the school program for years, with several students taking part in the Republic Day Camp at New Delhi.[5]
