Academic Rigor

The core function of any education institution is to provide an academic program most suited to the needs of its students. We feel the most important criteria to keep in mind while creating the class environment. We keep our class sizes around 30-35 because it balances the conflicting needs on one hand, every student gets the necessary attention, and on the other hand, there is a critical number of students to give rise to informal learning groups.  

Faculties

We keep full time faculty for core subjects so that students are able to get guidance even outside their classroom. Here, teachers are available for fulltime at school contributing the teaching quality and environment of the school/college.

Parent-Teacher Meeting

Research has shown that parental involvement is the most important factor in a student’s academic success. We hold meetings between the parents and teachers of students to discuss students’ report card and general progress.

The Cafeteria

We have a spacious cafeteria within the college premises that maintains the highest standards when it comes to hygiene. We make sure that the students get the best quality food that meets the optimum quality standards. Cafeteria offers a wide selection of dishes. The menu changes every day and caters for a variety of diets. Open from early in the morning, the cafeteria is a popular choice for meals and as a meeting point for students.

ECAs

Brooklyn will involve students in different outdoor activities like Basketball, Football, Cricket, Futsal and other indoor games. Brooklyn will provide ample opportunities for students to grow through debates and singing idol, dancing star, speech contests, guest lectures, and TED sessions. In addition, a social work club will be organized where willing students will be clustered to work with our partner organization. It will highlight our different approach towards learning: “learning by doing.”

Student Council

Brooklyn will facilitate constructing a Students Council consisting of students from all level. This energetic group which actively organizes different kinds of programs at college like welcome, farewell events as well as other interested events. Brooklyn Students’ Council (BSC) helps improve your college experience and champions the learners voice.

Connectivity

The new millennium will require that all students are able to make good use of the Internet in their learning activities.  However, we are aware that this can be distractive and addictive. To manage this, we provide Wi-Fi connectivity in non-classroom spaces. There is strong Wi-Fi available for students in campus. Though students are allowed to use Internet during leisure hours, they are not allowed to use it in the class.

E-supplements: We have designed ways to introduce students to on-line learning tools. Our library, for example, will lend out tablets that will have access to most advanced e-journals and education modules in the world.
