The
National School of Cricket
has tied up with a leading
school of Dehradun - The
Asian School - to cover
the academic curriculum as
per the CISCE program. The
school is located in a
verdant 14 acre campus,
practically in the middle of
the city. 10 minutes drive
from the railway station and
the bus terminal, the
academic block at Asian
Acres is an impressive
structure housing
classrooms, laboratories,
library, auditorium and
other spaces that have been
designed to promote
inter-active learning.
Located on campus are also
the three hostel blocks –
separate for junior boys,
senior boys and girls.
The Asian School brings
together the traditions and
ethos of India and modern
technology in an environment
where every child is an
individual. It offers
English medium, secular,
co-educational education and
is affiliated to the Council
for the Indian School
Certificate Examinations.
The
School endeavours to provide
a meaningful learning
environment through 'subject
based classrooms'.
Classrooms are assigned to
specific subjects and their
interiors are thus, subject
specific. This way, the
teachers have, immediately
at hand, plenty of interest
-generating teaching aids,
ranging from maps, charts
and illustrations to
computer software, books and
models. These classrooms
themselves, consequent to
the ambience created with
subject specific displays,
exhibits, books, etc. serve
to generate added student
interested in respective
subjects and enhance
academic motivation.
Let’s take a closer look at
these:
1.
Classrooms: One
of the important aspects of
a truly good education,
particularly at the primary
& middle school level, is
that learning must be
activity oriented, with
plenty of practical work and
provision for concrete
learning experiences, rather
than mere bookish learning.
Therefore, all academic
facility interiors have been
meticulously planned to
allow plenty of individual
activities, project and
project work.

allows creative and positive
interaction amongst the
students.

Library and Reading room :
A modern and appropriately
staffed library is located
in the
academic complex. A growing
collection of books and
periodical subscriptions at
the library helps maintain
the child's interest in
supplementary knowledge and
reference work.

The Gymnasium is
equipped with the entire
range of apparatus for
cardio-vascular and weight
training.
6.
The hostel: The
school accommodation
consisting of separate
buildings for junior boys
and senior boys and is a
well co-coordinated
facility, with large airy
rooms to house 300 students
with ease. We have placed
much importance on the
bathrooms as on the rest of
the facility. The toilet
areas are scrupulously
clean, with hot and cold
water supply.

25
m swimming pool:
The School program
encourages students to
maintain good health and
fitness as a general rule.
Asian School students are
very active in sports and
athletics, with teams
involved in competitive
intramural activities and
interschool competitions. A
25m swimming pool and a
gold-class gymnasium are
only two of the array of
facilities and
infrastructure that
inculcate the spirit - ‘in a
healthy body resides a
healthy mind’.
8.
Dining Hall:
Meals, snacks and soft
drinks, including options
for non- vegetarians, are
available in the school
kitchen serving hygienically
cooked food. Non-vegetarian
food is served five days in
a week and milk three times
daily. The menu comprise of
Punjabi, South Indian,
Chinese and Continental
dishes. To keep pupils in
good health, the catering
manager actively supervises
all kitchen operations
supported by a dietician.

The
Learning Resource Center
is the hub of all
intellectual and academic
activities of the School.
The library has a large pool
of resources viz. latest
literature in fields as
diverse as information
technology, science, general
knowledge and the like.
Besides, periodicals,
journals and reference keep
the students upto-date with
the latest. Students are
encouraged to use the
facilities for reference,
studying and borrowing. The
LRC is also equipped with a
Computer and curriculum
based CDs on all subjects
for ready reference.
The school aims to help
students make the most of
life in campus. Appropriate
movies are shown
periodically. The common
room in the boarding house
has a television set and an
audio system. Students may
avail of these provisions at
the end of their daily
schedules and on
Sundays/holidays.
Students organize informal
get-togethers on occasions
like birthdays, victory
celebrations and festivals.
All students are encouraged
to display their talents be
it singing, playing an
instrument, dancing, oratory
or histrionics on these
occasions, thus generating a
feeling of mutual acceptance
and oneness. |
