Information Technology and Computer Lab

 


Computer Lab

In today's digital age, Information Technology has seamlessly woven itself into the fabric of our daily lives, transforming the way we interact, learn, and work. At our school, we understand the importance of equipping students with the technological tools and skills necessary to thrive in this rapidly evolving world. Our computer lab is equipped with advanced configuration computers, ensuring that students have access to the latest hardware and software for their academic needs. To this end, we have established a state-of-the-art computer lab featuring 40 modern computers, each connected to the internet, allowing for unparalleled access to knowledge and resources.

Our computer education program begins at the primary level, ensuring that students gain foundational skills early on. The lab is outfitted with cutting-edge technology, enabling us to teach a wide array of software, including LOGO, BASIC, M.S OFFICE, C, C++, and more. These courses empower students to not only develop proficiency in computer literacy but also foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity.

As part of our commitment to staying ahead of the curve, we are excited to announce the introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to our curriculum. Starting in the academic year 2025-26, students in Class VI will begin learning about AI, delving into its applications, principles, and ethical considerations. This forward-thinking initiative will provide our students with the skills and knowledge necessary to navigate the world of tomorrow.
