Infrastructure
Holy Cross Senior Secondary School at Najafgarh, New Delhi, provides education which involves a series of programmes and activities. We have been successful in conducting these programmes and activities mainly because of the availability of proper infrastructure in the school, which includes buildings, grounds, furniture and apparatus along with equipments that are so essential for imparting education.
Holy Cross School is set up in a suitable atmosphere. It is situated in a prime location. It has some space with shady trees around. There is a calm and quiet atmosphere which is conductive to teaching and learning. The school building is quite impressive, having adequate lighting, comfortable seating, useful service facilities such as library, multipurpose rooms, functional playground, classrooms, chalk and bulletin boards, sinks, work areas, filing and storage space and lockers for pupils and teachers etc.
SCHOOL BUILDING:
The school building is well planned, spaciously and functionally. It allows free movement in and out of classroom for students and teachers. The Pre-Primary Classes, the Primary Classes, and the Middle, High and Higher Secondary Classes are in three separate buildings on the same campus. The rooms of the buildings are spacious and ventilated with all facilities like fans etc. Drinking water and W.C. facilities are provided on each floor of the three buildings, and also on the ground.
