Holistic Education
Holistic education refers to the overall development of the students. It can include skills, behavioural training, physical fitness, and other such particulars which are required for the overall development of the students as an integral member of society. It must however be noted that holistic teaching methods do not ignore theoretical education. Holistic education incorporates all facets of human development and also includes the theory of subjects.
With this understanding, JIS realizes the importance of the holistic development of the students. Emphasis is laid on shaping students into smart individuals with strong commitment to their chosen goals. Individual sports and games like Swimming, Tennis are a part of physical education for all age groups, aimed at grooming the students on self-confidence, fitness and skill sets under the expert guidance of the professional trainers. The School has swimming pool, synthetic Tennis Courts for students eager to train in this elite sport. Quality training is provided in martial arts, athletics, and track and field events in the vast playground of the school.
In addition to these activities, meditation and yoga form the part of the daily activities as they exercise the body and relax the mind. The students of Vikash have participated in State and National level Yoga competitions and won laurels for the institution.
