Life at school, beyond the classroom.
Drama rehearsals after lunch, a debate that runs late, a trek that leaves before sunrise — the part of school life that students shape for themselves.
Four houses, each with a part to play.
Every student is placed into one of four houses in their first year, led by senior student captains. Houses take part together in sport, academics, and the arts, and share responsibility for everyday campus discipline in turn.
Chinar House
Named for the valley's iconic tree — known for steady discipline and consistent quiz and debate wins.
Zabarwan House
Named for the hills that frame our campus — the school's most decorated house in sport and athletics.
Dal House
Named for the lake at the city's heart — known for strong showings in drama and the arts.
Harmukh House
Named for the valley's highest peak — the house most associated with adventure and expedition wins.
Campus Discipline
House captains and prefects take turns on a weekly rota, looking after corridor conduct, assembly order, and uniform checks.
Inter-House Competition
Houses earn points across sport, quizzes, debate, drama, and adventure expeditions, building toward the Founders' Day house trophy each year.
Learning to Lead
Captain and vice-captain roles change each year, giving a new group of students practice in responsibility, mentoring, and speaking to a group.
Regular time for activities beyond the syllabus.
We set aside time each week for activities that help build a student's confidence alongside their classwork.
Beyond the campus gates.
Kashmir's own mountains and valleys are our outdoor classroom, run under trained supervision every season.
Camping
Overnight camps in the valley's foothills, building independence and teamwork under the stars.
Trekking
Guided treks through Kashmir's trails, calibrated to age and fitness for every grade that joins.
Rock Climbing
Certified-instructor climbing sessions that build focus, resilience and calm under pressure.
Quieter pursuits have their place too.
Painting
Open studio hours and guided sessions across watercolour, acrylic, and mixed media.
Book Reading
Weekly reading circles in the library, with age-grouped reading lists and author discussions.
CC Run
Our annual community charity run, uniting students, parents and staff for a cause each year.
Six clubs, for a range of interests.
Clubs meet weekly, led by students with a faculty mentor, and are open to sign-up from Grade 3 onward.
Art & Craft Club
Hands-on sessions in painting, sculpture, and mixed-media making.
Literature Club
Writing workshops, poetry readings, and the school's own annual anthology.
Sports Club
Inter-house leagues and coaching across football, cricket, and athletics.
AI & Coding Club
Project-based coding, from first scripts to small AI experiments.
Robotics Club
Builds and competitions using the school's programmable robotics kits.
Math Club
Olympiad prep, puzzle challenges, and friendly inter-house competitions.
A few other ways students take part.
We hope your child finds something here that interests them.
Whichever activity or club they try first, our staff are glad to help them settle in.
