Beyond Academics

Co-curricular activities range from Sports and year round competitions in the Tournaments of Minds,  allowing children to excel in an atmosphere of constructive and healthy competition. In the Primary School each child gets an opportunity to participate in all the co-curricular activities on offer. The Tournament of Minds is an intra mural activity/ competition which includes Music, Dance, Speech and Drama, Art and Craft.

The Inventure Academy physical education and sports programme is modelled on the “PE for Life” programme followed by leading schools in the US. Sports is compulsory for all our students on a daily basis grades K-11. Our programme aims at creating an awareness of the importance of regular physical activity and carrying this awareness forward into adulthood. We teach the children how to train the various systems of the human body (e.g. Balance system, Power system, Strength system, etc.) using various fun activities like the climbing wall (for strength and balance) and speed and agility drills (to enhance performance in their chosen sports).

Through PODS, the insistence on a well-rounded education is taken a step further at Inventure Academy. PODS are interest-based electives offered to Grade 6 upwards, and coined from ‘peas in a pod’. The curriculum and activities are collaboratively designed by students and teachers. The multi-age groupings help students work at their own pace and developmental needs. The focus is on developing and honing skills. Our methodology includes music, cooperative learning, art activities, role play, multimedia, field trips, inner reflection, and much more.

We have also partnered with various groups and organisations to realise fully our educational approach and expose students  to the wider world in various areas including community service (grades 7,8)  internships (9,11), guest lectures, field trips and excursions (K-11).

Inventure provides students opportunities to showcase and develop their skills and talents through weekly assemblies, intra and inter school competitions hosted by the school and events such as Multiple Intelligences Xplored (M.I.X), Annual Day, Sports Day and Awards Day.

After school activities include soccer, basketball and athletics. We have tied up with specialist third party organizations (Socca Nova /Brazilian Soccer Schools, Peak Fitness, and Ms Jayavanthi Shyam - former Indian Basketball captain & currently coach of the National & International team) to train students who have the ability/capability/motivation for higher levels of sporting achievement

It is our core belief that children need exposure to a wide range of stimuli, and so the focus on areas beyond traditional academics is integral to our unique curriculum.
