The annual school report is a reflection of our achievements, endeavours, aspirations, and activities of the past one year.

MISSION AND VISION

Vivek High School endeavours to create a community of 21st Century Learners through a nurturing, stimulating, and holistic learning environment, where students are encouraged to develop open-mindedness, a spirit of inquiry, creative and critical thinking skills, self and social responsibility. The school collaborates with the community to instil in students generosity of spirit and integrity in thought, word, and action. At Vivek, to be truly educated is to have a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

THE PRINCIPAL

As we reflect on another enriching year at Vivek High School, we take pride in the many milestones achieved through the collective efforts of our students, staff and parents. Every accomplishment of the past year stands as a testament to the spirit of dedication, collaboration and perseverance that defines the Vivek family.

 

At Vivek, we believe that education goes beyond academic excellence; it is about nurturing compassionate, confident and responsible individuals who are prepared to face the challenges of the future with integrity and purpose. Our students continue to inspire us with their enthusiasm to learn, their creativity and their commitment to excellence in all spheres of school life.

 

The achievements of the session 2025–26 reaffirm our shared vision and unwavering commitment towards holistic education. As we move forward, we remain determined to provide an environment that encourages curiosity, critical thinking and lifelong learning while upholding the values that form the foundation of our institution.

 

I extend my heartfelt appreciation to our dedicated teachers, supportive parents and hardworking students for their constant trust and partnership. Together, we look ahead with optimism and confidence to another year filled with opportunities, growth and success.

OUR MONTESSORI WORLD

The Montessori Education Program at Vivek High School was pioneered in 2014 under the guidance of Ms. Meenu Sahi, Board Member of Vivek High School, Mohali, and Founder & Executive Director of Vivek High Montessori Institute, Chandigarh.

The Montessori curriculum ensures that most learning activities are individualised, allowing each child to engage in tasks suited to their needs and level of readiness. They work at their own pace, repeating tasks to build a positive attitude toward learning itself.

CRITICAL THINKING & EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING PROGRAM

Academic plans are thoughtfully designed through a well-scaffolded curriculum, with clearly defined, age-appropriate and class-specific learning outcomes. In alignment with the National Education Policy 2020 and the National Curriculum Framework 2023, the academic framework emphasizes competency-based learning, focusing on the development of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS), critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities.

For Classes VI–X, the plans promote experiential learning and a “learning by doing” approach, encouraging students to actively engage with concepts through real-life applications, interdisciplinary connections, and skill-based activities. Continuous and formative assessment practices are integrated to support holistic development, ensuring that learning is meaningful, learner-centered, and aligned with the evolving standards of the Central Board of Secondary Education.

IAYP

The International Award for Young People (IAYP) stands as a distinguished global youth development program, inspiring students to extend their learning beyond academics through service, skill enhancement, physical recreation, and adventurous exploration. Advancing through its Bronze, Silver, and Gold levels, participants nurture qualities of confidence, resilience, teamwork, and empathy. For our students, IAYP has been a transformative journey of leadership and self-discovery, equipping them to face challenges with courage and to contribute meaningfully to society.

SWACHH BHARAT:

The Student Council organized a month-long Swachh Vidyalaya Competition to promote cleanliness, hygiene, and a well-maintained school environment every month in the session 2026-27. The initiative encouraged students to take responsibility for their classrooms and develop a sense of ownership.

The competition was supervised by the Student Council. Vice Environment Captains evaluated Grades 7 and 10, while Environment Captains assessed Grades 8 and 9. Inspections were conducted daily during breaks to ensure consistency even in the absence of students. Classes were judged on three key criteria: neatness (cleanliness of floors, desks, and dustbins), board display (creativity and presentation), and organisation (arrangement of furniture and materials).

Marks were awarded weekly to provide regular feedback. At the end of the month, total scores were calculated, and the class with the highest marks received the Swachh Class Trophy during a special assembly. The competition proved successful in maintaining cleanliness standards and strengthening environmental awareness.

EXTRA MARKS:
