Laurels International School: Beyond Excellence

Laurels International School is a day-boarding-cum-residential institution located in the historical city of Prayagraj, famous for the Sangam — the confluence of the Ganges, the Saraswati and the Yamuna rivers. Since its inception, Laurels has been focusing on the happiness of children during their time in the school. Learning should be fun, is the motto of the school.

Laurels has introduced some non-traditional concepts, which have been well received by parents. Younger children are not encouraged to carry heavy school bags as most of their books stay in the school. It also believes that children don’t need to take private tuitions or attend coaching classes as its teachers take care of their educational needs. Teachers of Laurels give minimal homework as the school earmarks an entire period to finish their assignments during the school time.

The school adopts a holistic approach in preparing children “Beyond Excellence”. Its focus is not only on quality education, but also on co-curricular activities and games, besides helping students improve their speaking, writing and presentation skills. The seven-acre lush-green campus houses a half-Olympic size swimming pool and a huge playground. 

The school aims to prepare children for the 21st century by igniting their minds and enhancing critical thinking. Assignments are structured to ignite brains and encourage children to develop an “out of the box” approach.

Laurels firmly believes that presentation skills play a crucial part in people’s career. Children hone their writing and speaking skills by taking part in school TV and film projects, radio programmes, debates and anchoring.
