” May be there is a road ahead of it, May be there is a new world down the road, Walking forth is the only plight, because we didn’t come this far to come this far only “
CHS firmly believes in making our School one of the best schools of our country, by providing 360 degree education to our students through best –in- class academic facilities and churn out citizens who are inspiring leaders with humane touch.

A total number of 98 students appeared for the examinations set by CBSE Board Veerpreet Kaur of class XII was the topper.

Homidimp Harleen of class X stood first by scoring 478 out of 500 with 96% result.
KINDERGARTEN
We continued with curriculum, as a teacher of young children, it is vital to understand how to communicate with them and give essential feedback in a positive and constructive way. It is common knowledge that praise and encouragement are high motivators to help children respond the way we want. It builds confidence, self-worth and helps them to grow in the knowledge of what is right and wrong, as well as making positive choices about their behavior, so to acquire this knowledge the department conducted the art of communication with kids and our teachers participated for the same.

We as CITY HEART SCHOOL believes whatever their scope, Educational trips can offer many advantages to our students. They are benefitted from Educational trips by gaining new perspectives on the world. This is especially true for more extensive Educational trips where students travel farther away from home. By coming into direct contact with a different environment or even a new culture or language, students can better understand their place in the community and develop openness to differences in others.
“Education through movies” – yes, it is quite interesting when you visit the theatre with school friends. Our students of class IV to XII were taken to the Movie Bibi Rajni at Silverbird Cinema Ferozepur.
