Student is a person very interested in a particular subject. She is an enquirer who wants to find out and know. As per our tradition he is a jignasu! Orchid International School aims to instill in its students this deep sense of natural curiosity driven enquiry. Accordingly, the life of students has been carefully dovetailed into different domains of learning and experiencing. The scope for learning available to the day scholars and to the residential scholars is quite different although the affection and care remains the same.
The life of each of these categories of students is quite from the other. The day scholars get to live with their parents and other loved ones at home. They are in school only during the school hours and hence do not have the opportunity to learn on a scale the other category of students can. They do not get to live with their friends and “have fun” as such. The residential scholars on the other hand have a very wide ranging canvas of learning but they are away from their parents while the school in session!
At Orchid, an earnest attempt is made to provide to the day scholars as much exposure as is provided to the residential scholars within the constraints and possibilities of the time table. The gap still remains quite significant. Education takes on a broad meaning at boarding schools. Residential schools, like ours, have an explicit mission to help students become better-rounded individuals. Our residential students derive the following benefits to a more significant extent compared to the day scholars.
