Sadhu Vaswani Internation School | Bangalore
MONTESSORI LEARNING CENTER
Montessori Learning Center, a learning centre dedicated to the development of intellect and physical growth of children in the 3-6 age group. Facilitated by highly qualified, early childhood professionals, children in a multi-age setting become self-motivated, independent, lifelong learners. The Montessori method allows each child to progress individually according to their ability. In the Montessori Learning Center, children are allowed to Follow their own path and work with the learning material of their choice. The materials are scientific pieces of apparatus designed to help the child's mind focus on a particular quality. The materials are concrete, allowing the children to see and touch, and visually experience concepts instead of just memorising information. In the Montessori Learning Center, the children create for themselves the ability to operate in the world. They use their energy creatively, and we strongly believe that creativity is not limited to art and music, but is essential to the whole curriculum.
LIBRARY
A bright, airy book haven with natural light streaming in through the skylight makes reading a pleasurable and enjoyable time at the library in SVIS. It is well stocked with age-appropriate books, journals, and periodicals, giving students and teachers access to fiction, non-fiction, reference material, and a host of learning materials.
SPORTS
Children benefit tremendously from the social, emotional, and physical benefits of playing sports. Sports provide children with a chance to work together in teams, which helps them develop skills such as leadership, teamwork, and cooperation.

To offer our students an opportunity to learn computer skills, we offer two separate computer labs for Junior school and senior school students.

Experiential learning is considered to be a very effective way of learning and understanding Science and Math. To encourage its incorporation in classroom practice, we have set up the Junior Science & Math Activity Centers. These Activity Centers are equipped with interactive materials, models, and toys that can be used to teach Science and Math in an engaging and hands-on way. The objective is to strengthen teaching and learning of science by use of these simple materials, models, toys, and hands-on activities. It helps children gain a visual experience of the abstraction. It's primary aim is to help improve the conceptual understanding of topics from the curriculum. This will, in turn, improve the teaching-learning process in classrooms to benefit students.

MEAL PLANS
The school offers meal plans in consultation with a renowned nutritionist, Rujuta Diwekar. Meals served through these programs meet the specific nutrition requirements that include a healthy, wholesome, and seasonal local food. We at SVIS believe that participation in the school meal programs Improves dietary intake, children learn about healthy eating and thus make better food choices. Meal plans allow the children to socialize with friends, and eat the meal. Common dining area creates an inviting dining ambience that encourages healthy interaction and healthy eating— a place that students enjoy, that makes the lunch period a time they look forward to. Meals plans in school are also intended to educate the children on waste disposal and segregation, imbibe good hygiene, and eating habits. The social atmosphere in the dining environment is critical to the learning that occurs there. The routines of waiting for everyone to be seated or served, eating and talking together, and clearing the table are important ways to learn and practice respect, patience, and good manners. Over time, the acquisition of these social skills will begin to influence the culture of the entire school.
