Life School has been created to be a home away from home for its students. It is a community in itself, with a variety of students of different ages, coming from different countries and cultures, not found in a family. They get to study, play, eat and sleep together. This system teaches them to be on their own, self-dependent and self-reliant to be successful in their chosen fields.
We have a wide spectrum of programs and activities to ensure the all round development of our students. These include
Kalaripayattu
Kalari is the traditional martial art and treatment system of Kerala. We give Kalari classes every morning with compulsory yoga exercise. After this, students meditate and will revise the topics they learned the previous day.
Language Lab
Life School recognizes English as the universal language. Inorder to improve the communication skills, at Life School we give our students a chance to listen to BBC, CNN etc., and other radio stations from around the world. We also provide training for IELTS and prepare for TOFEL upon request.
Performing Arts
Drama Club: Dramatics have proven to be one of the few exercises which can help students control their expressions, emotions and diction. Studies have shown that drama can aid development of imagination and communication, with benefits resulting from dramatic activities even when directed by a teacher inexperienced in drama. So in Life School all students are getting opportunity to practice dramatics twice a week.
Dance: We also provide regular sessions on western dance and other traditional dance forms.
