For this reason we want our dear students to live and not just exist? The school's 'State of the Art' Library offers the student a bottomless treasure trove to lose themselves into the wonderful world of books of all genre from all parts of the world. The well-stocked library in The Middle and Senior Wing transports the young minds into another world; when you pick up a book and lose yourself into it, it's like you have transcended your present situation and gained entry in an exciting world of adventure, mystery, knowledge or discovery. Reading offers us a chance to see the world from someone else's eyes, thus broadening our horizons and opening our minds to new possibilities. Let's remember the words of Sir Richard Steele, who said, "Reading is to mind what exercise is to the body". See More See Less

In the biology lab, the students study detailed structures, morphological, histological and physiological aspects of plants and animals. Study of slides under the microscopes or studying the museum specimens kindles a natural curiosity towards Nature and instills a joy of learning the flora & fauna around us. All the equipment and specimens that we have in the lab are open for the school students to be used under careful supervision. This is a place where our students are given a chance to 'discover' before they are 'told'. Children have the liberty to make models and projects by availing lab facilities. See More See Less
Educational researches have shown that teachers' actions in their classrooms have twice the impact on student achievement as do school policies regarding curriculum, assessment, staff congeniality, and parental involvement. The quality of teacher-student relationships is the keystone for all other aspects of classroom management. At Shalom Hills, the intuitive class management techniques ensure that each classroom is the 'favourite haunt' of the class second to none, not even the playground. They are many and varied but result in effective teaching and enhanced learning in the classrooms. Rotational Seating arrangement The students at Shalom Hills feel a strong sense of attachment and belongingness to their class, classroom and class teacher. It is truly their 'home away from home.' This is because the classroom is owned by them in the best possible way. They are responsible for the furniture and boards. There are neither 'backbenchers' nor 'front-ups' in Shalom Hills International School. Students are seated according to a rotational system which makes each one sit in the front as well at the back. No child is made to feel sidelined or ignored by being made to sit in the corner or back seat. Monitoring The key to this principle is that best teaching takes place when the teacher is on her feet; not on the seat. At Shalom, each and every teacher makes frequent rounds while the students are working to check on their progress. The teacher passes through the whole room about two minutes after the students have started a written assignment. She checks that each student has started and provides individualized instruction as needed. The students who are not yet quite on task quickly 'get going' while the teacher quietly yet firmly reminds the distracted learners to focus. See More See Less
