The Heritage School - Exclusively Heritage

Inclusive Education

Inclusive Education

The Heritage School is designed as an 'Inclusive School' where slow learners with developmental delays are included in the mainstream classroom.Trained special educators withdraw the children everyday to the resource room according to a need-based programme. Pupils and teachers are sensitised to the special needs of these children.

Outreach

A holistic educational programme provides opportunities of serving mankind. A community that cares is a community that achieves harmony. Our children take part in community service projects. Children learn to interact regularly with differently abled children. Our compulsory SUPW programme includes regular visits to the nearby Manovikas Kendra. These experiences inculcate compassion, sensitivity and gentleness.

Prayas: A group of children with the help of a teacher formed this group. They believe they can extend support to those less privileged. The projects they hope to undertake are -

1. Raising funds for a cause.
2. Providing support to an SOS village.
3. Sharing time and resources with the aged and the underprivileged.
4. Caring for the environment.

Outward Bound

Regular study tours and excursions are organized to sensitize children to the richness of our historical, cultural and natural heritage.

Educational trips abroad are also arranged to promote understanding and appreciation of other cultures.

Trekking, nature camps and mountaineering are cherished activities which not only inject the spice of adventure in our largely urbanized lives, but also have a great influence on the children's characters and indeed, their courage.

With guidance and instruction, children discover skills and qualities such as the ability to make decisions, communicate effectively, leadership and teamwork.

Outdoor challenges show young people the meaning of what is arguably the greatest sentence in the English Language:
"I can".

Parent-Teacher Partnership

It is our belief that education is best achieved when it involves a three-way process between the child, educator and parent. In keeping with this policy, the school maintains a channel of communication with the parents through.

Parent Teacher partnership . Regular counselling and interactive sessions.
. Welcoming the parents to visit the school and share a meal with the
children.
. The School Diary
. Open House
. Frank discussions with the Principal and the Headmistress.

It is only when the school and the parents understand and support each other that effective education can take place.
