Home/Beyond the Classroom
Beyond the Classroom
The lessons that last a lifetime are not always in a textbook.
Leadership, teamwork, resilience, creativity and compassion grow on the playing field, on stage, in the dormitory and in service to others.
✦
What every Aum Valley graduate carries into the world
These are the qualities we deliberately develop in every student, alongside academic achievement.
Resilience
Competing, falling short and trying again, and learning that effort matters as much as talent.
Communication
Speaking with clarity and confidence, from the debating floor to the interview room.
Responsibility
Independence, punctuality and self-care, built through the rhythm of residential life.
Sport & Physical Education
Fourteen sports. Professional coaching. One team.
Sport at AVS teaches discipline, teamwork and perseverance. Every student plays, and the most talented compete at state and national level.
Our large playing fields and courts support cricket, football, athletics, basketball, tennis, badminton, table tennis, volleyball, kabaddi, kho-kho, skating and field events such as shot put, javelin, long jump and high jump. A modern swimming pool completes the programme, and professional coaches lead every discipline.
