VIS boarding school features the ‘House System’, which enjoys a long and worthy tradition in schools.
When students are placed in a ‘house’ or a group, they develop a sense of team-play and identify themselves with others.
Students are placed into one of the four houses – Red, Blue, Green and Yellow.
Students elect House Captains, Head Boy, Head Girl, Sports Captain and Activities Captain which forms the Students’ Council.
The Student Council will discharge its duties in accordance with the guidelines set forth by the School Leadership.
Teachers are allotted to each house and in turn, take the responsibility of the House-in-Charge.

VIS provides young minds with counselling and professional career guidance.
This helps them identify and choose the most appropriate stream of university education and make suitable career choices.
Additionally, it also expands and enriches their outlook.
This task is better performed through administering psychometric tests which help in analysing the interests of students and helps figure out their capabilities and interest.

Outdoor tours are organized by VIS to inculcate a sense of adventure and discovery, aimed at helping students appreciate nature.
Outdoor tours also help develop spatial intelligence.
These outdoor trips are organized in the form of weekend camps, adventure camps, excursions, study tours etc.
The tours and activities are well-structured, age-appropriate and monitored by school authorities.

VIS values and nurtures the students’ individuality and desire for self-expression.
Hobbies and personal interests are given due importance as platforms for students to showcase their abilities.
Activities range from robotics to sculpture, photography to theatre and public speaking.

VIS believes in exploring cultures as not only a knowledge-gaining endeavour, but one that adds more colour and vibrancy to young lives.
Student and Faculty Exchange Programmes are organized with other reputed National and International Schools in India and overseas.
Exchange programmes will be structured with mutual consent to share success stories, good practices, universal values, and to prepare the students for future challenges and inspire them to work towards global peace and harmony.

Extracurricular activities help children to develop their social skills and learn how to work in a team to achieve a shared goal.
These activities allow your child the opportunity to explore different areas of interest, increase self-confidence, build leadership skills and even improve grades — all while having fun!
