Our school has a well-stocked fully air- conditioned library. To nourish the intellect we have books, periodicals and jornals on every imaginable topic. Every student is encouraged to read and discuss what he or she has read. A part from this, we have story books in every classroom extra reading periods are assigned to all the classes separately for Hindi and English in which teh students are given practice for silent, loud and rapid reading with comprehension. Certainly, it is helpful the students span of knowledge and fluency in reading languages.

In todays world of fast paced life, congnitive learning is becoming incresingly difficult. As a result, children are becoming highly dependent on rote learning, in this highly competitive world. Through our smart classes students learn throught highly engaging visuals and animations. Presently, we have one smart class for each section till class V and one smart calss for each class from classes VI to X. In the near future, we will have smart classes for each section of these classes as well. Teachers are trained from time to time to upgrade them with the latest innovation.

Today our daily lives are fillied with limitions and rules one place in the entire universe, where there are no rules and regulations is the world of music AKMS wants students to be able to express their own ideas to be able to live in their own world for some time to be able to learn what kind of a person they really are from the inside. To do this we provide a variety of instruments for the students to play with and be able to learn the power of sound and music in their lives.

Fire extinguishers are installed atvarious places in the school building. The school conducts Fire Drillsat regular intervals to acquaint student and staff with fire safety procedures.

Health care facilities are available in the school health center under the guidance of a full-time. This is fully equipped to give first-aid during emergency. The center organizes regular medical checkups for staff and students. It also organizes awarness and health check-up camps such as dental checkup, healthy eye camp, ENT checkups, AIDS awareness, Women Wellness for teachers and staff, bone density for teachers and staff skin care camp, and mother and daughter workshop.

Proud to have a sophisticated Physics Laboratory with the latest state of the art facilities that equip the students to have hands on experience. The flat-topped tables used as student workstations allow multiple arrangements and combinations for laboratory work and small-group activites. The equipment ranges from the commonly found lens, magnet, beam balance, spring balance, glass prism to the advanced apparatus like voltmeter, ammeter and resistors and spectrometers to name a few. A physics lab aids a student in establishing the relevance of the theory. It brings clarity in the mind of the students regarding the basic concept of the subject. Student understand the difference between theory and application. Physics laboratory helps a student in improvising their approach towards the subject. Experiment carried out in Physics laboratories helps students in learing how to be patient and careful while taking observation and hither to calculating inference. The laboratory is aimed in enabling students to learn physics theories in a more elaborative manner with the involvement of its application. The experiments carried out are mostly the one in coherence with the curriculum. The objective is to carry out researches and studies relevant to the contemporary industry of science.

A loboratory is always considered as a relevant and essential part so far as the teaching of science is concerned. This helps students to remember the studies in a better way by conducting their own experiments. It gives students first-hand experience and offers better opportunities for learning. A laboratory is not a contest whose object is to get the right answer but the purpose is to learn how to gain knowledge, how to observe and to learn the meaning of what happens. Chemistry Laboratory provides a platfrom for students to nurture the budding scientist with in them . The Lab is provided with the state of the art devices like Fume hood, Distillation unit, electronic weighting machine, Bunsen burners, beakers and flasks. The safety devices such as Firefighting equipemnt, First-Aid Kit etc are kept available. The acids and other reactive chemicals are stored in separate locked cupboards as a further precautionary measure. The students are provided with separate workstations with individual burners and plug points. The apparatus includes the common place strikers, mortar and pestle, clay triangle, watch galsses, crucibles, crucible tongs, chemical spoon, stirring rods, filter funnels and a variety of stoppers.

Science is a universal subject that spans the branch of knowledge that examines the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment. No course in biology can be considered as complete without including some practical work in it. Biology is a scientific topic, thus it should be learn through experimental method. The laboratory makes teaching of Biology more meaningful and interesting. Biology Laboratory planned to meet the demands of the advacement in science and technology. The marble worktops are heat resistant and storage cabinets are easily accessible. The laboratory apparatus ranges from simple slides, test-tube, Petri dishes to the composite microscopes of varying powers to observe sample and organisms closely. They are high-powered extremely expensive, and sensitive pieces of equipement that can make even the smallest part of a single cell seem clear. Besides the aforesaid the laboratory also has charts, models and specimens meant for demonstrations. The exhaust system efficiently sustains a comfortable environment in the room even while performing experiments requiring chemicals that let out fumes.

To meet the need for computer literacy and information technology in the present day scenario, well-equipped Computer Labs for Juniors and Seniors, with computers supporting multimedia have been set up for students where they work under the able guidance of professionally trained staff. Computer education forms an integral part of the school curriculum for all Classes (Nursery – XI)

The purpose of athletic training in LAKMS is not only to develop a healthy body butto discover the limits of personal endurance or weaknesses and ones unique physical make-up. It develops in the students a sense of fair play and teamsprit and the joy of discovering ones own abilites. To encourage a healthy spirit of competition and for physical well-being of the student, the school provides facilites and opportunities for a variety of games and sport- outdoor and indoor . These include basket-ball, badmintion , volley bal athletics, throws ball table tennis etc. We focus on childrens mental and emotional health well while the body exercises, the brain releases endorphins. From a biological standpoint alone student who are physically active are happier and have a constructive outlet through which to releives stress The school promotes phyical activites right from Early Years The body exercises , the brain releases endorphins . Form a biological standpoint alone students who are physically active are happier and have a constructive outlet through which to relieves stress. The school promotes physical activites right from Early years . The school runs its after-school sports program as well.
