What we are doing now!

Our school has classes from standard play group to standard VIII. Now, we have 168 children. Out of which 72 are Differently-abled Children (Mentally Challenged Children, Down’s Syndrome, Autism, Hearing Impaired, Cerebral Palsied, Slow Learner, etc.) and 96 are normal children including under privileged children. Differently-abled children are treated with equality along with the normal children and they are taught in the same class. After class VIII we provide guidance and facilities for those candidates who want to continue their studies either by helping them to be affiliated to another secondary school or through National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS).

Our teachers and volunteers are highly qualified and professionally trained. Presently we have 18 special educators & regular teachers, 2 counselors and 4 volunteers. The teachers are also given training on time to time basis. They are highly dedicated in their services. Our teachers also pay regular visits to the houses of all the students and especially the special children. The aim of home visits is to also make the parents a vital part of their child’s education system. Our specially trained teachers also provide guidance to those teachers who are appointed to teach normal students, so that from time to time they too can take care of special children. We in Tagore Foundation School follow the Montessori Method of education.

Apart from regular teaching classes, all our children (both the special and normal) are given training in dancing, singing, stitching (especially girls), art and crafts etc. We have recently included karate classes in our syllabus. Our children regularly participate in different cultural events taking place within the school as well as outside the school. To make our children more sensitized to our society we take trips to nearby villages where our children get to observe and interact with people, witness the village life, and learn from Nature.
