After School Activities
Having said that academics and success are inter-related, academics play a vital role in life. The more you are academically strong, the greater are the opportunities you get in life. But a child must be well versed with both academic and non academic activities. Non academic activities sharpen the brain and allows to think out of the box. It also helps to identify strengths, capabilities and make wise decisions relating to career.
There is nothing out of the blue where students with good degrees and higher educational qualification define success for many. But don’t you think there are exceptions? If Sachin Tendulkar’s parents didn’t allow him to play cricket and asked him to concentrate only on studies would there be a Master Blaster for India? Or would there be a Melody Queen if Lata Mangeshkar’s parents didn’t allow her to sing? People should realize academics are not the only place where a person can prove their excellence and get motivated to live their dreams. For this to happen, parents support is the best add on and the first step for success.
BEYOND GRADES
To deal with the stress that children are facing with the heavy competition nowadays in various fields, AH CAREER has come forward with a bang on idea of flagship program called ‘BEYOND GRADES’ which includes heavy list of after school activities for children of different age groups.
Children need to learn things in a systematic manner from their base level itself so that they can carry them for rest of their life.
