Community Outreach
Community service is approached with great integrity and passion at Edify. Both students and faculty not only connect with the community but also continue to instill the spirit of spreading compassion and kindness around them. Community service has been integral to the school since its inception, representing one of its foundational principles. The school’s community service initiatives are spearheaded by the Edify Community & Outreach Club, the Interact Club, the Community-Activity-Service Program, and students themselves as part of taking action in their inquiry cycles. Community outreach and service activities are integrated into most of our learning experiences and engagements.
These outreach programs empower students to initiate social service of their choice, leading awareness campaigns, visiting old age homes, orphanages, deaf & mute centers, participating in eco-sustainability drives, and more. Early on, our students learn the importance of developing a spirit of giving back to society and reaching out to the less privileged and marginalized. Community outreach activities aim to cultivate leadership, resilience, empathy, and service-mindedness among students. Our school regularly collaborates with NGOs, charities, social workers, and causes, providing our students with broader platforms to make a real difference.

Dear Programme
The introduction of E-classrooms in Edify Schools aimed to expose educators to the latest technology and demonstrate how it can be integrated as a powerful learning tool in the curriculum. These classrooms were primarily designed for students and facilitators to acquire essential technological skills. The integration of technology enables facilitators to teach students how to utilize 21st-century technological skills effectively, both in the present and future. Edify’s E-classrooms have partnered with ‘Edurite’ to provide specially designed resources that enhance students’ research skills. At Edify Schools, we believe in fostering learning beyond traditional textbooks and adapting to the evolving dynamics of knowledge through the powerful tool of technology.

Student Exchange Program
To foster cross-cultural exposure and provide a global perspective, Edify has established an extensive International and Domestic Students Exchange Network. The Exchange Program, gaining popularity among students, offers nearly 25% of the batch an opportunity to spend time at a Partner Institute. Ongoing efforts aim to expand the program further, allowing an even larger number of students to benefit from this unique opportunity. Additionally, students who cannot participate in the exchange program gain valuable experiences through interactions with numerous overseas students visiting Edify. This short-term exchange program, also known as a summer or cultural exchange program, emphasizes home stays, language skills, community service, and cultural activities in a foreign setting. Open to secondary school and primary students, this program spans from one week to a month, offering an intensive experience that enhances their understanding of diverse cultures, communities, and languages.
Spoken Foreign Language
The study of foreign languages is an integral component of the international curriculum at EDIFY, essential in our global community of the 21st century.

Learning a new language enhances communication skills, deepens cultural understanding, and provides a competitive edge in business, academic research, and social engagement. The Department of Foreign Languages offers well-designed sessions in French, focusing on rapid language acquisition and providing insights into the associated cultures. With small class sizes, all students have ample opportunities for active engagement in learning activities.
Clubs
Recognizing that effective learning extends beyond the classroom, various clubs are conducted during zero periods at EDIFY. These clubs aim to broaden learning horizons and allow students to develop their skills and interests in unique ways. The club programs at EDIFY are highly anticipated, providing students with valuable opportunities to enhance their abilities and engage in activities aligned with their areas of interest.
The possibilities are vast, and schools are encouraged to provide a minimum of six club activities
