School Life of Indraprastha
Sports
At the IPS we believe that a ‘sound mind resides in a healthy body’. For us academic learning and sports education complement each other. Sports teach the child life-skills like teamwork, sportsmanship and the critical skill of balancing both success and failure positively.
The IPS believes that physical education not only helps enhance overall health and motor skills but also helps and sharpens students learning ability. Respect, sportsmanship and fair-play are the foundation of our physical education program. At The IPS, these skills will be inculcated through sports like Kabaddi, football, basketball, badminton, volleyball, chess, and athletics. (Swimming, gymnastics facilities are also available in our school.)
Music & Dance
The IPS provides training in a variety of disciplines in music and dance which the children have freedom to choose from. They can opt for Indian Classical, Indian folk and Western dance The musical instruments include drums, Tabla, congo, dholak, bongo, guitar, xylophone, harmonium and Casio synthesizer. In vocal there are Western, Hindustani classical and light fusion to choose from. The school has dedicated and gifted teachers in the faculty to ignite and sustain the creative spark in the students. The universal language of music and dance forms helps students from across communities to bond and provides the perfect nutriment for the mind, body and soul.
Art & Craft
In IPS the School’s Art and Craft program connects creativity and innovation at an early stage of children’s development. The program is designed to build skills, develop competencies and provide resources that support creative learning for our students. Most importantly, it gives children the chance to use their imagination.
Clubs Activities
There is a lot more than academics that make a child well-rounded personality. To bring out the innate talents of a child and develop his/her talents, IPS has a host of clubs. These clubs cater to varied interests like public speaking and debating, writing, event management, cooking and scientific skills.

An annual excursion is organized for students for every academic session. Further, the school organizes planned visits to various places to enrich the students and to take learning beyond the four walls of the classroom.
