               Innovation – Changing Environment, Behaviours and Beliefs

               Innovation is creativity. The school has integrated technologies,
               implemented learning management systems, adopted social media and
               trained the teachers and faculty to educate the students accordingly.
               The educators have been equipped with the skills to train the students
               to imagine, inquire and invent. These skills include:
               •  Thinking creatively to compete in the market.

               •  Finding innovative solutions for existing and future problems.
               •  Evaluating current status and finding better alternatives if required.
