Recruitment of teachers happens in an intensive manner where The Shri Educare Team is also involved. We look for teachers who are NTTs (or Montessori trained) for Pre-primary grades, and Graduates with B. Ed for Grade-1 onwards. They are then trained by the Shri Educare team as well. We provide generic as well as domain related trainings to teachers. Fine Motor Skills, Phonics, Teaching Math through manipulatives, Child Development, Active Learning Strategies in all Subjects and Project Based Learning are some of the trainings that we do.

Assessment is a continuous and ongoing process at TSUS. We follow the CCE pattern for assessments and evaluation at the Middle and Senior levels in school as defined by the CBSE.

In the Pre-Primary and Junior Grades, assessments are conducted to evaluate Understanding, Application and Effort. Whilst knowledge, retention and recall are very important, focus is on building Higher Order Thinking Skills which equip the child to become a self-motivated lifelong learner.

Formal assessments begin in middle school through a system of formative and summative assessment involving a mix of cycle tests, projects, presentations and quizzes, which incorporate writing and oral skills.

A record of the academic progress, cognitive and physical development of the children of all the classes is maintained by the teachers. These are shared periodically with parents and strategies for enhancing the child’s ability are designed.

The Safety and Security of our children is a priority for all of us at TSUS. Children are never left unattended and didis and teachers are on duty to ensure that children board and disembark from the school vehicles. Transport registers document the attendance both in the morning and in the evening. Photo ID cards are issued to the parent/guardian and these need to be produced when the child is handed over at the pickup point each day. Bus log books are maintained and are updated on a daily basis. In Elementary and Junior School, the teachers escort the children to ensure that they board the right bus.

What kind of medical facilities are available? How are parents informed in case of an emergency?

We have an infirmary with a full-time nurse who is equipped to handle first aid, small cuts and bruises. Although no internal medicine will be administered by the school nurse, in case of a need she will connect with the parent to seek permission for the same. In case of an emergency, parents are informed immediately and the child along with the nurse will be rushed to the hospital which the school has tied up with for required attention and action. Parent’s emergency contact number is kept as a part of school records.

Can children be picked up before the school officially gets over? If so then what is the procedure?

Taking the child home mid-way during school hours is not a practice entertained by the school. The only occasions when this is allowed are in case of a tragedy in the family or if the child is sick himself/herself. However, the school will consider any other reason based on its gravity and urgency. This permission will be granted at the sole discretion of the Principal and the child is allowed to go ONLY with the parents or a person with proper authorization from the parents.

Admission to The Shri Ram Universal School is based upon vacancy in the class to which admission is sought and the age appropriateness as per the school’s admission policy.

There are no admission tests conducted, although children seeking admission to Grade II and above are given a worksheet to complete which is primarily to check if they have the Minimum Level Competency (MLC) for the grade they are seeking admission to. This worksheet enables the school to identify any gaps in learning that the child may have and ensure that these are addressed once he/she is admitted

Do we give homework to the children (especially primary and pre-primary classes)? If yes, then from which grade onwards?

TSUS has a well drafted Homework Policy which ensures that children are not bogged down by boring and long drawn homework and assignments. At the Pre Primary level, homework is given only once or twice a week. These are mainly fun sheets that work as a bridge between learning of concepts done at school and reinforcement of the same at home. In the Junior Grades, a schedule for the week is drawn that ensures that work given to be done at home does not exceed a maximum of one hour’s study. More than 3 subjects are not given in a day. Additionally, the school has a unique “No Homework Day” every Wednesday (till Grade V). Once the child reaches Middle School, academic rigor is increased, although every care is taken to ensure that the child is not burdened with heavy and meaningless homework.
