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.
2.
The School architecture
allows creative and
positive interaction
amongst the students.
3.
The computer labs are
equipped with the latest
hardware and software.
4.
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.
5.
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.
7.
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.
9.
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.
