Hello Parents, It’s time to share with you all the details of how the students of The Indian Cambridge School, a girls boarding school in Dehradun spent the last week of November and the first two weeks of December so far. So let’s get started, shall we?
At The Indian Cambridge School in Dalanwala, Dehradun, a girls boarding school, we strive to create an institution that stands as the epitome of excellence. Dehradun is renowned for being an educational centre, not just in India but on a global level. So for The Indian Cambridge School to be ranked as one of the best girls residential schools in the city, we had to create an educational experience beyond traditional learning.
Blogs such as these, where we talk about the activities that take place in the school, are our way of sharing with parents that, along with academic prowess, we are also committed to helping develop their daughters to build their creative thinking, confidence, compassion, and character. At The ICS, the name of the game is holistic education!
More on that later, but let’s get down to the crux of the matter: the activities that took place at The Indian Cambridge School, the best girls residential school in Dehradun, during the last week of November and early December.
Fun Race Day: A Celebration of Holistic Education at The ICS
During the last week of November, we organised a Fun Race Day, where Cambrites from the primary wings gathered on the school grounds for a day filled with energy and excitement. A burst of laughter, the pitter-patter of running feet, and the contagious spirit of camaraderie!
The atmosphere was electric as the girls eagerly participated in various races, showcasing their athleticism and team spirit. From traditional sprints to quirky challenges, the sunny afternoons during the winter months were the perfect backdrop for this event, infusing warmth and cheer into this friendly competition.
But the biggest impact of Fun Race Day was that the event emphasised the importance of physical well-being, encouraging our girls to stay active and enjoy the outdoors. One of the most heartening moments was when the competitors who crossed the finishing line first cheered the other girls to finish strong with infectious enthusiasm.
Learning how to balance “academics, life skills, and fun“
At The Indian Cambridge School, a girls boarding school in Dehradun, our educational approach is centred on creating engaging and interactive learning environments. We incorporate games, hands-on projects, and real-world examples and activities to foster collaborative learning experiences. The success of this approach depends on the dedication and support of our educators.
They strongly believe in embracing each girl’s unique talents and capabilities and ensuring that she has all the support she needs to reach her full potential. To achieve that, our educators help students maintain an optimum balance between academics, extracurricular activities, and their passions. They guide them in making their career decisions and help them build self-confidence. Our educators ensure that our students are provided with the resources and guidance they need to be successful in life.
And they also understand the pressures of academics, especially in higher classes. This is why the faculty decided to hold stress management workshops that help teach our girls how to manage their stress. As of now, these workshops are only for students in classes 9–12 to help them enhance their coping skills, develop emotional resilience, and improve their overall mental well-being while also managing their time effectively and finding a healthy study-life balance.
