Sports
Sports are an integral part of our curriculum. We have a dedicated sports program where Phase-I students participate in two activities per day. Through this, they develop leadership skills and learn how to work with others towards a common goal. It also helps enhance the general health condition and physical fitness of every student.
Student Council
VSA's student council, elected democratically, fosters a positive school atmosphere. With teacher guidance, they set missions and learn essential leadership and communication skills.
Art
VSA follows a vibrant and diverse Art syllabus as defined by the Cambridge IGCSE Art & Design and the CISCE curriculums. Our students explore a diverse range of disciplines in art and are encouraged to pursue a specialization in Photography or Design in Phase-II.
Community Service
We believe that education is not just about learning from books but also interacting with people from different backgrounds who can broaden one’s horizons. We encourage our students to participate in community service projects that help them understand how their actions impact others around them.
