Curriculum is a Latin word which means ‘course’.In modern times, Curriculum more specifically means the prescribed books, activities and projects that are given to institutions by educational authorities. In our school we follow curriculum as per the CBSE but we also go far beyond it.
Curriculum and Co-curriculum are like train tracks. They may not intersect but they are both essential for the train. They are parallel, and similarly at BKBCE instead of co-curriculum we prefer the term parallel curriculum.
Parallel curriculum at our school ranges from skills and hobbies like Photography and Filmmaking to more competitive activities like Quizzing and Debating. To promote them, we hold a weekly Hobby Club where a student chooses a particular activity to participate in. Hobby clubs range from our Robotics workshop to the Reading circle.
BKBCE is a part of the Indian Public Schools Conference (IPSC); Which is a commonwealth of reputed schools from all around India. This means our students get the opportunity to play sports at national level, beside and against various other highly regarded teams. We have had the honour of hosting IPSC events and schools at our own campus.
Birlites are encouraged to take part in hobby clubs as they please, so that they can learn what they desire. Along with the hobby clubs, our school regularly participates in interschool competitions, such as Debates, Writing fests and Quizzes. We train plenty of students to be skilled in each of these events, and thus we have bagged a veritable number of certificates, trophies and medals.
These not only make the students’ time spent at our school enjoyable, but teach them essential skills like sociability, responsibility and independence; improving their quality of life and helping them blossom into young thinkers and pioneers of society.
