Co-academic Activities (CAA)
Our approach towards Co-Academic Activities at RV is rooted in the belief that every child’s potential is a combination of different types of aptitudes that can be categorized into the following 9 multiple intelligences:
Aligned to our school’s philosophy, the children are exposed to and given opportunities to explore different CAAs at different stages and levels of rigor so that by the time they reach high school, they are aware of their potential and areas of interests.
1. At the early childhood and primary stage (KG-5), the focus is to expose the children to a variety of co-academic activities that cater to all types of intelligences.
2. As they reach middle school (Grades 6-8), we create the space to explore the various areas that they are interested in, by introducing options
3. At high school (Grades 9-12), the students use their time in school to narrow down and specialize on their areas of interest, hone their skills and also explore the possibility of extending it into a full-time career choice for themselves.
Our wide range of exciting CAAs
Art & Craft | Unleash the Artist WithinArt & Craft is included for students across grades as we believe that it plays a significant role in a well-rounded educational experience. Not only does it foster creativity but also promotes cognitive, emotional, and social development in students. By engaging in art and craft activities, students are encouraged to think outside the box, express themselves, and explore their individuality. | Dance | Groove to the Rhythm of your Feet!Dance has been one of the most long-standing performance arts since the inception of CAAs in our school. Over the years, we have ensured that we revisited and reimagined dance as a subject so that students get to express themselves, develop an appreciation for different styles and cultures and improve their social and emotional well-being. |

It also promotes empathy, exploration of social issues and cultivates critical thinking. |
