Beyond Academics
Beyond Academics
At YHS, children are provided a comfortable ambience where they can “learn to move” (physical competency) and “move to learn” (learn through movement a variety of skills beyond simple physical activity, such as collaborating with others, teamwork and leadership).
Physical education, art and craft, dance and music lessons are age appropriate to help the students acquire the cognitive strength, psychomotor skills, and social and emotional perspectives required to lead a physically active life.
The school offers four houses – Akash (Blue), Prithvi (Green), Agni (Red), and Vayu (Yellow) to promote a healthy sense of competition.
Students are regularly encouraged to participate in inter and intra school competitions as well as the ones hosted by CISCE.
Co-curricular activities are a mandatory part of a student’s day at YHS
Celebrations Galore
YHS students participate in a variety of cultural programmes throughout the year. Rabindra Jayanti, Independence Day, Annual Concert and Sports Day are some of the important celebrations at the school. Special assemblies celebrating the various important festivals of India are a regular feature of the YHS calendar. The Annual Investiture Ceremony instils leadership quality and gives the students a sense of belonging.
Exhibitions and Festivals
The outstanding displays at the YHS Art and Craft and Science festivals along with their confident presentations have been appreciated by one and all.
Asian Youth Festival
The Asian Youth Festival was organised in 2010, 2012 and 2017 where YHS played host to hundreds of young people drawn from 17 states in India and 4 Asian countries. The delegates were invited to Kolkata to showcase the power of youth and re-affirm their faith in human good.
The Asian Youth Festivals provided an arena for the young minds to wander, question and share. Over the seven days we witnessed happiness and fulfilment on every face. The programme included evenings of cultural extravaganzas showcasing our rich heritage.
