Innovative Teaching Methodology

The school has adapted innovative methods of teaching. We believe that to be successful in academics, sourcing of information, logical documentation and presentation are essential components in the learning process.

The academic methodologies and system are planned to develop in every child the ability to think not only vertically but also laterally.

Children learn to correlate learning to daily life and apply theory to practical situations. The school has taken the initiative to conduct Practical experiments for all classes to help them understand the concepts through experience. These experiments are demonstrated in the class rooms and laboratories.

Next-Generation Smart Classrooms

The Smart Class program is introduced in our school by Educomp which is powered by the world’s largest repository of digital content based on Indian Schools curriculum.

It was opened on 21st January 2012 by Mr. Jeyakrishnan, Director of Caravel Logistics Pvt. Ltd.

Existing class rooms are converted into technology enabled smart class rooms equipped with smart class Interactive Digiboard systems with a PC, connected to a dedicated Smart Class knowledge centre inside the school campus.

Teachers use the digital resources such as animations, video clips and simulated models as a part of their 45 minutes class room period to teach the specific topics in smart class rooms, enabling a most sensory learning experience for the students.

A dedicated Program Administrator provides teachers with all technical help required to work with the program. All the teachers are given specific training required for the Smart Class which improves the teacher’s effectiveness and productivity.

Smart Class makes learning an enjoyable experience for students. The Smart Class Program has resulted in fast improvement in the academic performance of the students.

Thoughtfully Designed Learning Spaces

Every class room is spacious, bright, well ventilated and furnished with neatly crafted furniture that are ergonomically designed conforming to the standards specified for kids to develop the right posture and sit comfortably for the many hours and days of their schooling.

Each class room is equipped with a smart board that comes with a host of interactive features, providing a very lively and enriching session between the students and the teacher.

Moreover, the Responsive Class-room approach and the Research and Evidence-based approach used in our school education system increases academic achievement, decreases problem behaviours, improves social skills and leads to a world class, high-quality education.

Authentic Assessment System

Students are periodically evaluated in their subjects by way of monthly tests and terminal examinations, and are graded accordingly. This exercise is aimed at motivating them to constantly improve and upgrade, eventually reaching levels of academic excellence.

Special emphasis is given at Ebenezer to develop every child’s English communication skills.

Slip Tests:

Slip Tests have proved to be useful for students with poor writing skills and spelling mistakes. Subject teachers in their respective classes in addition to the Unit Tests prepare students for Tests and Examinations by conducting Slip Tests.

Re-Tests:

This mechanism provides low achievers with an opportunity to improve on their performance. Re-tests have proved extremely useful in pepping up the confidence of the students and to gain experience.

Progress Reports:

Mark sheets / Grade sheets are sent regularly to Parents to keep them informed of their child’s progress.
