Beyond classroom

A World of Good

The Value Education Programme at Saba School stimulates reflection and introspection about issues that have moral and ethical relevance. The Programme encourages students to thoughtfully choose and adhere to a set of values that is appropriate to and best reflects the challenges of their time, rather than preaching values and imposing them on them. The sessions and activities are designed to promote independent moral reasoning and support discussions about moral dilemmas and crisis, from which students can develop an enduring and meaningful set of values. The Programme deals with a wide variety of themes of social significance through creative approaches and activities.

Unravelling Pride & Prejudice

The Gender Sensitivity Programme at Saba School encourages students to examine the systematic discrimination, oppression and prejudice that operate through social norms and practices, creating not just inequality but injustice in their trail. A wide range of activities, games and logical exercises make the Programme interesting and engaging for our students.

The Programme works towards sensitising our students about social gender-based differences and enables them to empower themselves and those around them with awareness and action.

A Way of Life!

The Life Skills Programme at Saba School consciously equips our students with the skills they need to get through life’s ups and downs with equal ease. The Programme has adopted three skills as its core focus- Thinking Skills, Social Skills and Emotional Skills.

Using a wide variety of methods that range from discussions to film screenings and interactive games, the Programme imparts these skills through an experiential approach that brings in real-word dilemmas into the classroom, giving our students the extra edge they need to face adversity and fortune with equal grace. Learning to Live has never been more fun!

Community Outreach

Community service has been an integral part of the school since its inception and has been one of the foundational principles of the school. The community service initiatives in the school are led by the Saba School Community & Outreach Club, the Interact Club, the Community-Activity-Service Programme and the students themselves as part of taking action in their inquiry cycles. Community Outreach and Service activities are an integral part of most of our learning experiences and engagements.

The outreach involves leading awareness campaigns, visits to old age homes, orphanages, deaf & mute centers, eco-sustainability drives etc. Our students learn early on the importance of developing the spirit of giving back to society and reaching out to those less privileged and those who are marginalized. Community Outreach activities and projects develop leadership, resilience, empathy and service-mindedness for our students. To this end, our school regularly associates with NGOs, charities, social workers and causes, to provide our students bigger platforms to make a real difference.

Hale & Hearty!

The Student Wellness Programme enables our students to engage with matters of health, hygiene, safety & nutrition in creative ways. The Programme both informs and guides through the lifestyle choices they make, encouraging deeper reflection and thought at every step of the way.

The programme also brings individual habits and community practices under the scanner, investing in our students the confidence they need to bring about positive changes that benefit themselves and those around them.

Read between the Lines!

Reading is getting redefined with STHS Drop Everything and Read Programme. With a library that maintain books, magazines, newspapers, periodicals, journals and ebooks, our budding readers are spoilt for choice.

The Programme enlists the homeroom facilitator’s assistance to guide students through books of a wide array of genres, titles and time-periods. From beloved classics of Elliot & Austen, to more contemporary fiction for young-adults, our students are guided through age-appropriate reading assignments that balance their interests and taste. Book reviews, reports and conferencing helps students share their reading and articulate their personal take on whatever is read. The D.E.A.R. Programme inspires in our students a deep and enduring love for reading and literature that leaves a lasting imprint on their lives.

Fitness First!

At SABA School, we believe that sports are an integral part of the educational process and have integrated sports firmly into our curriculum. Our Sports Education Programme (SEP) places emphasis on the development of knowledge, attitudes and skills related to a range of physical and health related activities. The Programme aims to encourage students to:

• learn about body control and spatial awareness
• master new skills and techniques in a variety of physical activities
• manipulate sports equipment or apparatus
• recognize the importance of fair play and sportsmanship
• understand how strategies can assist when participating in physical activities
• use co-operative behaviors in order to function as part of a group or team
• use proper safety precautions when engaging in physical activities

The school with its national and international size courts and sports infrastructure as well as expert professional coaches support different sports like swimming, basketball, football, volleyball, chess, handball, netball, karate, cricket, skating, lawn tennis, table tennis, badminton. Also, the students get opportunities to participate in varied recreational programs that include gymnastics, aerobics, yoga, athletics and exercise.

In addition to the Innovative Programmes and Club Portfolio Options, students at DTHS are given opportunities to participate in workshops that take place throughout the year, that focus on a wide range of aspects relating to the development of a well-rounded and balanced personality.

From one-of-a-kind workshops on ‘Creative & Critical Thinking’, to many on eclectic topics such as ‘Sequential Art’, ‘Improvisation’,‘Playnomics’, or even those that relate to grooming and confidence-building, the workshops offer our students exposure to multiple ways of perceiving and navigating the world at large, that challenge them at many levels in unique and interesting ways. Guest-lectures and workshops also add variety to our students’ everyday lives and give them chances to explore territories outside their comfort zone.
