Science laboratories

• Physics Lab
  Students measure, model, and check. They learn how a neat diagram, a clear graph, and a short claim‑and‑evidence paragraph work together to make a conclusion believable.
• Chemistry Lab
  From separation techniques to reaction rates, students keep disciplined notes and draw labelled diagrams so that another person could repeat the test safely.
• Biology Lab
  Microscopy and fieldwork teach careful observation. Students keep simple field notebooks and consider the ethics of working with living things.
• Composite Science Lab (VI–X)
  Younger students build practical confidence with the apparatus before senior specialisation. Assessments include reports and short viva‑style questions to check understanding.

Language & Subject labs

• English Lab
  A workshop for fluent reading and clear writing. Students study strong examples, practise short pieces, and speak with poise in small groups.
• Mathematics Lab
  Students move from drawing to organising to reasoning, then checking their work. Manipulatives, such as algebra tiles, make abstract ideas feel more concrete.
• Social Science Lab
  Mapwork, timelines, and civic simulations help students effectively use evidence. Research notebooks include sources, data displays, and citations.
• Technology Lab & Multimedia Room
  Students move through a simple cycle—brief, plan, make, critique, publish. Podcasting and voice work build clarity and confidence.

Innovation, STEM & Computing

• Montclair Venture Studio
  Students choose a real problem, sketch ideas, and build a simple prototype. After testing with users, they improve the design and share a two‑minute pitch with a working demo.
• AI & Robotics / CodeForge
  Age‑graded pathways move from block logic to text‑based control. Students practise safe cloud habits and produce demos with commented code that another student can understand.
• Engine Room
  Electronics benches and mechanism stations teach the careful use of tools and problem-solving skills. Students keep logbooks, fix failures, and retest until the model works reliably.
• STEM Activity Bay
  Approachable builds—lights, sensors, and simple alarms—help students practise diagrams, parts lists, and tidy wiring before they take on larger projects.
• STEM Computer Lab
  A structured environment for computing practice and document craft. Skills built here support work in every subject.

Creative Media & Performing Studios

• Pixel Forge (Film & Photography)
  Students learn framing, light, sound, and editing, then publish short explainers and photo essays with proper credit and permissions. Screenings in Forum 208 teach audience etiquette.
• Multimedia Room (Podcast/AV)
  A quiet room for recording and editing voice. Students practise clear speech, script discipline, and respectful listening.
• Recording Studio
  Supervised sessions for high‑quality audio capture used in films, podcasts, and performances. Students learn how to handle microphones and levels responsibly.
• Art Gallery
  A rotating display of student work that celebrates process as well as product. Captions explain the brief, the materials, and what the artist changed along the way.

Art & Craft labs

• Canvas Painting Lab
  Students work on canvas with acrylics, oils, or watercolours. They learn how to prepare a surface, mix colours, and use brushes purposefully. Exhibition pieces include a short note on the idea behind the work and the techniques used.
• Large‑Scale Drawing & Calligraphy Lab
  Here, students practise bold, confident lines on posters and charts, and learn lettering that is clear from a distance. Projects often support school events and exhibitions, teaching design choices such as layout and hierarchy.
• Pottery & Sculpture Room
  Clay modelling and sculpture introduce form and structure. Students learn how pieces are built to last and how firing or finishing changes a design.
• Visual Art & Digital Design Lab
  Traditional drawing meets digital tools. Students sketch by hand, then move to tablets or design software to create posters, simple animations, or brand elements—always respecting image rights.
• Mixed Media & Craft Lab
  This is the ‘try it and test it’ space—textiles, recycled materials, and experimental techniques. Students plan, build, and refine, then write a short reflection about what they changed and why.

Performing Arts spaces

• Indian Music Room
  Students practise classical and folk forms, focusing on listening, rhythm, and respectful ensemble work.
• Western Music & Vocal Room
  Vocal warm‑ups and ensemble pieces build confidence and stage presence. Students prepare short performances throughout the year.
• Piano Room
  Individual and small‑group practice with attention to posture, timing, and expression. Simple recitals help students share progress.
• Theatre / Forum 208
  A flexible performance forum for screenings, debates, and shows. Students practise the craft of presenting: voice, timing, and audience care.

Sports & Activities (quick reference)

Families often ask where practice happens. These are the spaces students use across the year:

• Outdoor
  Football Ground, Cricket Pitch, Basketball Court, Tennis Court, Volleyball Court, Running Track.
• Indoor
  Archery and Air‑Rifle Ranges, Squash Court, Table‑Tennis Area, Boxing & Wrestling zones, Gym & Treadmill, Billiards.
• Movement & Wellness
  Skating Rink / Prayer Area, Yoga & Meditation Center with Dance Hall, Swimming Pool, Badminton Court.
• Juniors
  Kids’ Play Area with slides, see‑saws, merry‑go‑round, and sand pit.
