Vacations to places of Historical, Cultural & Religious importance Educational and Adventure camps will be held Annually and Students from Grade 2 onwards are made to explore, appreciate and connect with nature. This strengthens the bonds of inter-dependence and helps our students understand and value of natural resources. It also teaches them adaptability and conservation.

Teachers organise and train eager children for dramatic events and performances at the Open Air Theatre in the Campus. The School provides proper outfits and resources for organising such Events.

Evening Prayers are held at the “Sunset Point” and is a unique ceremony which takes place every evening at sunset time. All students clad in white kurta pyjama sit in silence for a minute and a half, facing the sunset hill or at “Sunset Point” or at “Chhattri”. In a silence they watch the sun go down. The whole concept is to give the child a minute or two to be with himself, with nature and reflect upon himself or meditate. Occasionally, there is a faculty member who talks about anything related to school life or a thought of the day or play some live music.

The PIPS “Week Without Walls” (WWW) Program provides students with unique cultural, personal, interpersonal and environmental experiences not available on the PIPS campus. From these experiences students are expected to learn, reflect, and grow as responsible citizens.

By providing authentic and direct exposure to Indian Life in villages and outside areas PIPS expects to nurture in the child a better understanding and appreciation of Indian culture and geography, develop new friendships as well as strengthen existing ones in the PIPS community, increase respect for the environment and local culture through exposure to unique habitats and the effect of human populations on land provide opportunities for personal reflection, self-awareness and self-reliance.

NCC is proposed to be introduced in the School during the Academic Session 2020-21.

Social service has been an integral part of PIPS since its inception.

Soft skills is a sociological term relating to a person’s “EQ” (Emotional Intelligence Quotient), the cluster of personality traits, social graces, communication, language, personal habits, friendliness, and optimism that characterise relationships with other people.

Soft skills complement hard skills (part of a person’s IQ), which are the technical requirements of a job and many other activities.

PIPS occasionally organises Sessions for kids to help them learn Soft Skills like communication, teamwork, etc. to build up confidence and leadership qualities.
