Fine Art, Music, and Foreign Languages

We encourage students to explore their creativity and talents by offering Fine Art and Music as subjects. Additionally, students have the opportunity to study Foreign Languages, broadening their cultural understanding and communication skills.

Practical-Oriented Programs

We are dedicated to providing practical-oriented programs that bridge the gap between theory and real-world applications. This approach equips students with practical skills that are valuable in various career paths and prepares them for life beyond the classroom.

Clubs and Competitions

To encourage student involvement and leadership, the school hosts a variety of clubs such as Debate, Drama, Music, and Dance. Students participate in inter-class or inter-House tournaments, and the school also engages in inter-school competitions and friendly meets with other schools.

A Student-Centered Learning Environment

Our teaching methodology is designed to create a dynamic and engaging learning environment that promotes critical thinking, problem-solving, and active student participation. The school employs a student-centered approach, where the needs and interests of the learners are at the forefront of the teaching process.

Student-Centered Learning

We place emphasis on understanding individual students’ learning styles, strengths, and weaknesses. Teachers tailor their lessons to accommodate diverse learning needs, ensuring that every student has an opportunity to thrive.

Interactive and Collaborative Learning

Rather than relying solely on lectures, teachers actively encourage students to participate in discussions, debates, and group activities. Collaborative learning allows students to learn from each other and develop essential teamwork and communication skills.

Practical Applications

We integrate practical applications and real-world examples into the curriculum. This approach helps students understand how the knowledge they gain in the classroom can be applied in various contexts, making learning more relevant and meaningful.

Technology Integration

We embraces technology as an integral part of the teaching process. Modern teaching aids, such as projectors, interactive whiteboards, and educational software, are used to enhance the learning experience and make lessons more engaging.

Project-Based Learning

We incorporate project-based learning, where students work on extended projects that require research, analysis, and creative problem-solving. This approach promotes critical thinking, time management, and collaboration skills.

Continuous Assessment and Feedback

Regular assessments and feedback play a significant role in the teaching approach at Helasita. Teachers use formative assessments to monitor student progress, provide constructive feedback, and identify areas for improvement.

Innovative Teaching Strategies

We encourage teachers to experiment with innovative teaching strategies to enhance learning outcomes. These strategies may include gamification, simulations, role-playing, and flipped classroom approaches.

Interdisciplinary Learning

Helasita Secondary School seeks to create connections between different subjects and encourages interdisciplinary learning. This approach helps students develop a holistic understanding of complex issues and fosters creativity.
