Learning Beyond the Classroom Walls
At Kennedy Magnet, students learn as much outside the classroom as they do within it. We believe true education unfolds when young people challenge themselves, explore new fields, connect with diverse peers, and experience responsibility, reflection, and purpose in real settings.
​
Our sports fields, art studios, clubs, leadership platforms, community projects, and international exposure programs are not add-ons — they are essential classrooms where character, confidence, resilience, and creativity are formed.
​
Through these experiences, students learn to grow in character, offer unreserved effort, and embrace perspectives beyond their own by preparing them for a world that values both intellect and integrity.
Sports & Physical Education
Sports at Kennedy break the boundaries of the four-walled classroom and teach skills for life. Physical education builds confidence, self-esteem, emotional resilience, discipline, and teamwork. Students learn to celebrate collective victories, cope with setbacks, and support each other with encouragement and respect.
​
Sports cultivate both EQ and IQ — strengthening the mind-body connection and shaping character beyond marks and examinations.
​
Sports Offered:
Cricket | Kabaddi | Kho-Kho | Throwball | Volleyball | Basketball | Handball | Badminton
Arts and Creative Expression
The arts program gives students opportunities to explore identity, expression, and cultural richness. Students with aptitude, interest, and commitment are selected for core activity groups such as Indian Music (Vocal & Instrumental), Dance, and Painting, where they engage in consistent practice and performance.
​
Participation is voluntary but requires dedication beyond school hours by reinforcing discipline, collaboration, and creative mastery.
​
The Indian Music and Dance Club enables cultural exchange, exposure to diverse Indian art forms, understanding of music traditions, and choreography skills that allow students to create and perform their own pieces.
Community Service & Social Responsibility
Active community engagement is central to the Kennedy philosophy. Students participate in age-appropriate service initiatives from Grade I onward, learning to contribute positively to their communities.
​
These programs transform classroom knowledge into lived experience, helping students engage with people rather than abstract data, develop empathy, and apply ideas through action. Through reflection and critical thinking, students deepen their understanding of leadership, social responsibility, and the systems that shape society at local, national, and global levels.
Awakened Citizen Program (ACP)
The Awakened Citizen Program (ACP) is built on the idea that every student carries within them an infinite reservoir of strength, goodness, and potential — expressed each time they say “I CAN”.
Developed by Ramakrishna Mission, New Delhi, this three-year graded program empowers students to explore their Universal and Unique Possibilities, building self-belief, character, and clarity in facing real-life choices.
ACP aligns deeply with Swami Vivekananda’s vision of education as character formation and self-realization — helping students discover value systems, resilience, and purpose at a young age. Designed for Grades VI–IX, the curriculum fosters emotional maturity, ethical reasoning, and confident citizenship in a complex world.
Clubs, Houses & Leadership
Kennedy’s club system was born from a fundamental question: Is the purpose of education only to create careers, or to create healthy, meaningful minds?
​
While academic success is important, we believe education must also develop creativity, awareness, values, leadership, and inner strength. The Magnet Clubs enable this by providing platforms for exploration, collaboration, and personal growth.
​
Magnet Clubs Include:
Fun Learning Club | Language Club | Literary Club | Assembly Club | Alumni Club | Media Club | Handwriting Club | Magnet Parent Association | Idea Box
​
Leadership is further cultivated through our Student Body Elections (from Grade IX) and the House System — Jal, Vayu, Prithvi, Agni — inspired by the elemental forces of creation. Students carry these identities with pride as they represent their houses in sporting, cultural, and academic competitions.
​
As John Maxwell said, “A leader knows the way, shows the way, and goes the way.” At Kennedy, leadership is not about producing followers but empowering students to become leaders who create more leaders.
