Curriculum
This is achieved to the best capability of the system when given to students a well-balanced education that stretches the boundaries of their cognitive faculties, nurtures their ability to discern critical thinking, and helps them understand different subjects profoundly. Its goal is to arm a student with knowledge, skills, and a mindset that will help a child grow beyond this to succeeding in academics and succeeding once more in future academic pursuits.
The academic year begins from 1st June, and the students till Class VIII have to study two more languages apart from English. PVV is a co-education school wherein Kannada, Hindi, and other languages have equal emphasis along with the teaching in English.

These areas have been explicated in simple words.

PVV has prepared a document titled, ‘Evaluation and Reporting Guidelines’ comprises of Checklists and Cumulative Cards for on-going evaluation of children of Classes-Pre-School to VIII.
We all know that Evaluation is an integral part of teaching-learning process, which helps us to understand whether the learning objectives, laid down have been achieved. The basic objective of on-going evaluation is to compare the past performance of a child with his present so that a future bearing programme is designed accordingly. Keeping this is mind, these Checklists and Cumulative Cards have been designed term-wise. These are also self-explanatory in nature, thus help the practising teachers to have a continuous and comprehensive assessment of the growth and development of the child in various areas of learning.
