Outward Bound
Travel is an essential part of learning and students are escorted on educational tours to many parts of the country and overseas. The entire school moves out on trips and treks after the Annual Examinations. At other times, smaller groups undertake specialized educational tours to places of historical, scientific and geographical interest.
Adventure sports form an important part of the School curriculum. The School believes that it helps bring out leadership, responsible behavior, care for the environment and respect for culture. The School is able to take advantage of its splendid location in the foothills of the Garhwal Himalayas.
Once a year, a summer trek is arranged to places deeper in the mountains for the benefit of those girls who wish to participate in serious trekking.

The School encourages students to be part of the IAYP (International Award for Young People) Programme, earlier known as The Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme.
