Here is what it looks like inside the campuses of our international schools in Pune:

• Smart classrooms: Our classrooms feature digital smart boards and multimedia resources. The interactive nature of lessons enables students to interact with and get immersed into their learning, assisting them in solidifying understanding as they participate in their learning.
  
  
• Science/computer labs: We provide students hands-on learning opportunities and access to equipment in science labs and computer labs. They learn through a coding process as well as conducting experiments and STEM projects. Each of these practices helps develop critical thinking and problem solving skills, which are necessary for future challenges.

Regular sports activities help maintain fitness, balance coordination, and provide a good staff-managed competitive atmosphere.
  
  
• Arts & music studios: The creative room for Arts and music provides students opportunities to explore different dance or paint styles and music. Fine motor skills, cognitive intelligence, cultural perspectives, and imagination are positively impacted by numerous art experiences that provide a balance to the academic context.
  
  
• Library, infirmary, cafeteria: All stimulus campuses will contain a reading zone (bright, motivational), a health room, and clean and healthy cafeteria (i.e. students' lunch) areas so students can concentrate on academics alone.
