Every Friday, students at Kavya School are encouraged to leave their textbooks behind and embark on a day of unstructured, imagination-driven learning with extracurricular activities consisting of sports, arts and crafts, music, etc. The initiative aims to promote independent thinking, problem-solving, and exploration of various forms of creativity. The students are involved in various activities every Friday with club activities for the skill based learning programs conducted by their respective teachers. Some students were engaged in a variety of Extra Curricular Activities such as; basketball, cricket, football, taekwondo, dance, arts and drawing, acting, singing and dancing and others participated and learned different life skills at school.

As Book-Free Fridays continue to inspire students and educators alike, Kavya School stands as a shining example of the transformative power of progressive education. With this dynamism, the school is not only shaping young minds but also redefining the future of learning itself.

Aryan Thapa, a student of grade nine, shares, “The implementation of book-free Fridays has allowed me to focus on my passions and also take a break from the stress that comes with school.” Tejash Khadka adds,” Everyone in the school enjoys book-free Fridays, it’s almost like having a day off.”
