Look no further for a campus with green and tranquil environmen­t

-

As the residents of Delhi NCR are dealing with ever-increasing pollution levels in the city, parents are worried about the serious risk this poses to young children in particular.

The poor air quality index even affected normal schooling during its peak levels – from schools having to shut down temporaril­y to suspending outdoor activities and sports. One school in Gurgaon which is relatively less affected by the poor air quality is Pathways World School Aravali.

The campus is situated on 34 acres of land on an elevated, wooded site along the majestic foothills of the Aravali hills. This not only ensures a peaceful environmen­t, away from the the hustle and bustle of city, but also offers a scenic panorama across the hills. Despite its unique location, the school is only a few minutes away from the DelhiGurga­on border.

The green environmen­t at the Pathways Aravali campus aids in mitigating the effects of pollution. In fact, the school campus has received the LEED-EB Platinum certificat­ion for its green design by the United States Green Building Council.

The school, which offers the Internatio­nal Baccalaure­ate (IB) programme, offers flexible options to students — day boarding, week boarding, and term boarding. The week boarding system has really caught the attention of parents from Delhi NCR, as it gives students the option to go home on Friday evenings to spend the weekend with their families before resuming school on Monday. This allows students to spend quality time with their family every weekend, while enjoying the benefits of a robust boarding school programme on the weekdays, on the lush green campus.

With the NCR region growing exponentia­lly and suffering from poor air quality and an insecure environmen­t, the weekly boarding option provided by Pathways is a great alternativ­e for parents.

It is especially beneficial for working or single parents. Parents can focus on their work while children are free to get their own quality academic, sporting, and social time with peers in a friendly environmen­t.
