A Happy School!
We are a dynamic and agile school. Walk through its corridors: you will notice an excited buzz emanating from classrooms, industrious focus in the science and computer laboratories, quiet serenity in the yoga studio, competitive camaraderie in the sports arena and harmonious melody in the music room.
One Family, One Dream: The Role of Parents in Our School Community
We believe that we are one big happy family and our parents are our biggest stakeholders.Wellbeing is an important focus of our school. Active communication, balanced timetables, and, above all, an empathetic faculty, facilitate our school’s caring ambience. Credit must be given to our parents for their support and cooperation, we are yoked together, in sync with the same dreams for the progress of their children – our students.
Lessons from Yesterday: Cultivating Continuity and Change in Student Minds
We also provide our students with a rear-view mirror, so that they can learn from past experiences, retain traditional values, understand the cyclic continuity of life as also the dynamic change of each era. Crucially, students experientially understand that each being on our planet is interconnected: that tolerance and collaboration is the need of the day.
Progressive Pedagogy
Venkateshwar Global School, Rohini, is scaling new heights and surging ahead with its ethos of holistic development which makes teaching-learning a vibrant and creative process of discovery. Our students are exposed to the latest pedagogic and technological innovations, which thereby kindle the flame that inspires safe, joyful and stimulating growth experiences to unfold their hidden potential. We believe in the holistic development of our students, ensuring they excel not only in academics but also in character, leadership, and service.
From Screen to Heart: Using Movies to Navigate Social and Emotional Challenges
The generation that is endlessly preening, modifying, distorting, dissipating and struggling to find an authentic identity amidst the noise, needs social and emotional learning as a tool to navigate these challenges, build self-awareness, and foster genuine connections. Through films we make it easier for students to relate to the portrayed situations and emotions. Cinema has the power to shift culture and create empathy. When our children watch short films like ‘Fight it Right’, ‘Let’s Talk Puberty’, ‘My Guru’, ‘Chasing the Rainbow’ or ‘Life Calling’, they get to live somebody else’s life for a while. In such movies, they see a reflection of their world, allowing them to confront and process complex emotions in a safe space.
From Microscopes to Circuits: The Transformative Power of Hands-On Science Labs
To enhance learning and contribute to a deeper understanding of scientific concepts, hands on lab activities have often turned out to be more engaging than lectures or textbook learning, capturing students’ interest and making learning more enjoyable and memorable. Labs foster an inquiry-based learning approach, where students are encouraged to ask questions, explore hypotheses, and investigate outcomes, promoting a deeper and more personalized learning experience. From conducting chemical reactions, observing cells through microscope to building circuits, these scientific investigations contribute to a deeper understanding of scientific concepts.
Student-Led Conferences: A Step Beyond Traditional Meetings
A marked departure from traditional parent-teacher meetings, Student Led Conferences provide updates on student performance and a powerful platform where students take the lead in discussing their academic progress, setting goals, and reflecting on their learning experiences with their parents and teachers. At VGS, we strive to inculcate a strong sense of responsibility in the students for their own learning and SLCs are an effective medium to communicate their achievements, challenges, and growth areas.
Multi-Faceted Evaluation: How VGS Uses 360-Degree Feedback for Student Success
360-degree assessments at VGS are transforming traditional evaluation methods by providing a comprehensive view of student’s performance, skills, and development. This multi-faceted approach to assessment is paving the way for more holistic, accurate, and actionable feedback. By collecting feedback from teachers, peers, parents, and even from self-assessments, a holistic report card is generated to view student’s abilities and growth.
Connecting the World: The Impact of Global Perspective Education at VGS
Through a variety of subjects ranging from history and geography to literature and social studies, students explore different cultures and global issues. This exposure helps them develop empathy and respect for people from various backgrounds, building a foundation for cultural sensitivity and global awareness. Global perspective education at VGS is not just about what students learn but also about how they learn to think. It prepares them for a lifelong journey of learning and curiosity about the world. By integrating global perspectives into everyday lessons, we ensure that our students are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to become informed, empathetic, and active global citizens.
From Stage Fright to Spotlight: Theatre, Public Speaking, MUN
Theatrical and speaking skills of students are honed regularly through countless activities intricately embedded in everyday routine of the school, enabling student to emerge with vivid diction, intonation, pronunciation and rhythm. Rigorous training under the unstinted guidance of the mentors encourages them to shed stage fright and surface as confident speakers to combat any level of public exposure.
Game On: Sports Sessions at VGS

They pick up sports as per their aptitude and interest, and get training from expert mentors in activities such as Football, Basketball, Athletics, Taekwondo, Judo, Yoga, Table Tennis, Lawn Tennis, Swimming, Volley Ball, Badminton, Fencing, Archery, Golf and Chess.
Legacy of Success: The Impact of VGS Alumni
VGS alumni are invaluable assets that demonstrate in the world beyond the walls of the school, the value of the education they received. Their experiences and success stories are continuing to inspire and motivate students to achieve their goals. We have a very strong alumnus base that remains actively engaged with the school community. This network of former students not only provides mentorship and guidance but also supports the school through volunteering initiatives. Their contributions play a crucial role in enhancing the educational experience for current students and in maintaining the strong tradition of excellence that defines VGS.
