It is not every day that learners find a vast enough playground to explore and make the most of their many skills. Whether using interpersonal skills in peer-to-peer engagements, or their oratory skills when delivering messages to a large audience, the more our learners use their gifts, the more they grow. Our Lighthouse Learning family of schools, by virtue of its expansive network and geographical span, presents not one, but numerous opportunities to collaborate, cross-learn, and grow.
Watch this inspiring video that captures everything we mean when we say we grow the most when we grow together.
It is said that art is not what you see, but what you make others see. In this spirit, our Art Competition is perfectly poised to make our learners see fresh new perspectives of life. Not only do they use art to express and articulate themselves, but they also use it to envision new goals and processes. From having the school teams create and implement lesson plans to finding interdisciplinary links across school subjects, Hues is a competition with a difference. Schools get the freedom to plan as they wish and are also rewarded for the effort, with prizes to those with the most creative lesson plan.
Comprising 1 Art teacher + 1 tech-savvy teacher who understands the Argus Guru app + 5 subject teachers
When John Ford said “You can speak well if your tongue can deliver the message of your heart”, he spoke to the hearts of our learners, and the values we intend to inculcate in them. Through highly invigorating public speaking and debate experiences, we spark the spirit of unbridled expression and healthy competition.
We select deep and meaningful themes, such as Tony Wagner’s 7 Survival Skills for the 21st Century, to make it interesting and engaging for the participants, as well as the audience. Held across geographies, such events increase our learners’ exposure as they go forward and express themselves openly, holding their grounds in new turfs.
Meaning a celebration in musical terms, the objective of the Omaggio competition is to promote the vocal talent of budding musicians. All our network schools are encouraged to assemble their best musicians and singers in an ensemble choir, performing at various venues. Each choir has a creative name, ideally with a story, anecdote, or a reason. The children are dressed in smart, themed, and uniform attire.
The music teacher identifies opportunities for such performances at other schools, for the community, in malls, and so on, and also goes on to conduct the choir. The regional competition culminates into a zonal final between network schools.

All our schools are part of Eumind (Europe meets India) - a non-profit school network that conducts virtual exchange projects, giving Indian and European students the opportunity to work together. These can include projects based on real-life issues such as sustainability and human rights, or creative projects based on theatre and arts.
