At Bhatnagar International School, a variety of activities are conducted regularly to promote holistic development, creativity, and physical fitness among students.
All classes are equipped with digital smart boards with in-built software. Classes II and VII follow a well-balanced academic curriculum that includes Physical Education as an essential support subject. Computer-aided learning is an integral part of the teaching-learning process.
Students also use computer-aided learning packages developed by our teachers in the computer labs, which reinforce concepts learned in class. These innovative methods provide a meaningful dimension to students’ learning, encouraging knowledge enhancement and practical understanding.
Attempt-Written Assignments for Students
At Bhatnagar International School, students from Classes II to VII participate in written assignments twice a week, known as ATTEMPT. This initiative encourages regularity, reinforces learning, and helps build confidence in students. As a result, the fear of tests or examinations is significantly reduced.
The school follows a grading system for assessment and re-evaluation across all subjects for Classes II to VII. This Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) system includes four assessments per subject, enabling students to develop effective time management skills and gradually learn how to approach examinations with confidence.
Additionally, students from Classes II to V are graded for co-curricular activities, including Art & Craft, Music, Dance, Games, and Yoga, ensuring holistic development alongside academic growth.
Innovative and practical means are adopted in framing the timetable so as to maintain a healthy balance between academic and co-curricular activities. Co-curricular activities are interwoven into the academic curriculum making them more experimental.
Meditation with the recitation of Gayatri Mantra is done every morning which helps in quelling the restlessness of the students and sharpening their mental faculties.
Special Reading Periods are provided to encourage reading habits.
At Bhatnagar International School, we believe in the overall personality development of our students, recognizing that true growth extends beyond academics.
Academic skills are nurtured through a well-planned syllabus, computer-aided teaching techniques, and the guidance of highly motivated and qualified staff. Worksheets specially designed by our teachers are compiled into Student Activity Books, providing structured practice and reinforcing classroom learning.
Sports and physical education play a crucial role in a child's physical and mental development and are fully integrated into our school system. Students are introduced to various forms of yoga, including breathing techniques, meditation, and full-body exercises, taught in a systematic and scheduled manner.
Co-curricular activities enhance personality development and provide students with a competitive edge. Debating, public speaking, performing arts, and games are integral to the timetable, helping children gain confidence and life skills. Annual cultural programs are organized class-wise, ensuring participation from every student and celebrating their talents.
Gifted and talented students are identified and nurtured to achieve excellence, while those requiring additional support are provided with remedial classes and individualized attention. This balanced approach ensures that every child receives the guidance, encouragement, and opportunities needed to thrive academically, socially, and personally.
In today's fast-paced and materialistic world, it is essential to instill good moral values in children during their formative years. The school integrates this objective into the curriculum, allocating a weekly period for Social Graces, during which theme-based assemblies are conducted class-wise.
The aim is to nurture students into responsible, compassionate, and ethical individuals, capable of handling everyday pressures and temptations. Through these activities, values such as honesty, truthfulness, tolerance, sincerity, courtesy, sympathy, and affection are consistently reinforced.
Regular educational trips are organized, allowing students to visit meaningful sites under teacher supervision. These excursions foster teamwork, leadership, camaraderie, and confidence.
Students also participate in inter-class and inter-school cultural programs, including plays, dance, music, and sports. These experiences build team spirit, fairness, and cooperation, while encouraging students to appreciate the importance of collective effort and ethical behavior.

The CCE or Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation scheme refers to a school-based evaluation of students that covers all the aspects of a student’s development. Continuous means regular assessments, frequency of unit testing, analysis of learning gaps, applying corrective measures, retesting and giving feedback to teachers and students for their self-evaluation, etc. Comprehensive on the other hand attempts to cover both the scholastic and the co-scholastic aspects of a student’s growth and development - with both these aspects of the evaluation process being assessed through Formative and Summative Assessments.
