It is a great choice for parents who wish to have in-depth knowledge and a substantial emphasis on the English language, which is a major aspect associated with the ICSE board.

Question 5

​Is Assam Valley a boarding school?

Accepted Answer

Yes, AVS is a fully residential boarding school. Unlike “day-cum-boarding” schools, where students return home every day, all students at AVS stay within the campus premises in specially allocated boarding houses. This “exclusive” boarding system is what enables the school to offer such a packed schedule of activities, ranging from sports in the early morning hours to supervised study sessions in the evenings.

Question 6

​Why is Assam Valley School considered one of the best co-ed residential schools in India?

Accepted Answer

It is unique because it not only treats “co-ed” as a badge, but it also fosters a mature environment where boys and girls work together as equals on 235 acres of world-class infrastructure. As a Round Square school, AVS focuses on global citizenship and adventure. With Olympic-standard sports grounds to premium arts education, it provides a level of networking that few schools in Asia can offer.

Question 7

​What is a residential school in India?

Accepted Answer

In the Indian scenario, a residential school, also known as a boarding school, is a place where students stay in the school premises during the duration of the term. It is not just a place to learn; it is a way of life. In a school like AVS, this translates to students eating, sleeping, and growing up together, learning the skills of living independently that last a lifetime.
