Shri Ram Centennial School is dedicated to providing a holistic educational experience that goes beyond the confines of the traditional classroom. Our Outdoor Learning Program is a key component of our curriculum, offering students a wide range of field trips, excursions, and sports activities that foster personal growth, experiential learning, and a deep connection with the natural world.
Our program includes carefully curated field trips to various locations of educational and cultural significance. These trips are designed to provide students with firsthand experiences related to their academic subjects, history, science, arts, and more. Our Mid term excursions are held twice a year. During the first term students explore the beautiful hilly areas of Uttarakhand and beyond, and during the second term, the excursions are towards cities of historical significance. Whether visiting museums, historical sites, art galleries, or natural reserves, these field trips allow students to witness and engage with real-world applications of their studies, enhancing their understanding and appreciation of different subjects.
Our excursions take students beyond the school premises and into the surrounding regions, offering opportunities for exploration, adventure, and community engagement. These excursions may include hiking, camping, environmental conservation activities, and visits to local communities. Students develop a sense of stewardship for the environment, learn valuable life skills, and develop a deeper understanding of the world around them through these immersive experiences.
Our Outdoor Learning Program also emphasizes the importance of physical fitness, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Students participate in a wide range of sports activities such as football, basketball, cricket, tennis, swimming, and athletics. These activities promote physical health, enhance motor skills, and develop qualities like leadership, cooperation, and resilience. Through regular practice sessions, friendly matches, and inter-school competitions, students develop a passion for sports and experience the thrill of healthy competition.
The safety and well-being of our students are paramount in our Outdoor Learning Program. Trained and experienced staff members accompany students on all field trips and excursions, as well as when they go for various sports competitions. Risk assessments are conducted, safety protocols are followed, and appropriate measures are in place to ensure the utmost security of our students throughout these outdoor experiences. We prioritize student supervision, maintaining a high level of vigilance and care at all times.
Our Outdoor Learning Program offers numerous benefits to students. It nurtures a sense of curiosity, instills a love for nature, and encourages environmental responsibility. Students develop resilience, adaptability, and problem-solving skills as they navigate unfamiliar environments and overcome challenges.

Tutors serve as mentors and role models, steering students throughout their educational journey while instilling essential values for personal growth. Regular tutorial meetings present an invaluable platform for students to openly discuss their concerns, exchange ideas and self - introspect.
At the start of the academic year, the Housemaster selects a tutor for each group of tutees. These tutors work closely with tutees to set academic goals and monitor their progress, through regular Tutorial Meetings. They consistently assist tutees in developing study plans and identifying areas for improvement, while offering feedback on their performance. Beyond academic support, tutors also serve as mentors to their tutees. They provide counsel and aid in areas encompassing personal growth, study techniques, effective time management, and establishment and pursuit of goals.
This system, in its uniqueness, ensures that all students receive comprehensive guidance in value education, catering to their need in the various spheres of life, through their formative years.
Furthermore, we have a parallel program called the Advisor-Advisee Program at the boarding house level, which assigns each student a trusted advisor providing comprehensive guidance. Consequently, ensuring that they receive a broader spectrum of support tailored to their specific needs and challenges.
This program operates under the diligent supervision of our dedicated House Coordinators, Housemasters and the Student Life Coordinator. These experienced professionals supervise and support the tutors and advisors in guiding and mentoring students.
