Frequently asked questions
Is online school recognized?
Yes — It Offers Recognized Curriculum Options
Vikalp Online School provides education aligned with Indian curricula (NCERT) and offers pathways for students to appear for recognized board examinations through either:
- NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling) — India’s official open schooling board, recognized by the Government of India and widely accepted for certification. Students can register with NIOS and take Class 10/12 board exams.
- CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education) — the national board for thousands of Indian schools. Vikalp says students can choose CBSE pathways (though details often involve registering with an authorized CBSE-affiliated study centre or partner).
The curriculum and certification options offered link to recognized Indian boards — so students who complete NIOS or CBSE paths through Vikalp can receive legitimate board certificates.
Is Vikalp aligned with NEP 2020?
Vikalp Online School emphasizes an experiential, activity-based learning model (learning by doing, small class sizes, student participation, critical thinking and exploration). This pedagogical approach is more modern compared to traditional rote learning.
📌 2. NEP 2020 Focus Areas
The National Education Policy 2020 encourages:
- Holistic, learner-centric education (critical thinking, experiential and activity-based learning)
- Flexibility in curricula and pedagogy
- Focus on foundational literacy and numeracy, holistic development, and digital/distance learning support.
These broad NEP principles encourage teaching methods that go beyond rote memorization — including experiential and activity-centric approaches — which aligns philosophically with Vikalp’s methods.
How is Vikalp different from regular online classes?
1️⃣ It’s Experiential, Not Just Virtual
Most online schools simply move traditional classrooms to Zoom — lectures, slides, homework.
Vikalp is built on experiential learning.
Students learn through activities, thinking exercises, problem-solving, and concept discovery. Teachers act as facilitators, not just content deliverers.
2️⃣ Focus on Concept Mastery, Not Syllabus Coverage
Regular online schools focus on completing the curriculum.
Vikalp focuses on deep conceptual clarity — ensuring students understand why something works, not just what to write in exams.
3️⃣ Small, Interactive Learning Environment
Many online schools run large batches.
Vikalp emphasizes small groups and individual attention, allowing personalized guidance and active participation.
4️⃣ Blended Physical + Digital Learning
Regular online schools are screen-heavy.
Vikalp integrates hands-on learning tools and offline activities along with digital sessions — making learning more engaging and effective.
5️⃣ Homeschool-Friendly Structure
Vikalp supports families who want structured schooling at home, with guidance and academic progression — not just classes.
How much screen time is involved?
At Vikalp, learning is intentionally designed so that students are not continuously looking at a screen.
A typical class follows a mixed-media structure:
- It often begins with a hands-on activity to introduce or explore a concept.
- This is followed by teacher guidance and discussion, where students listen, reflect, and interact.
- Students then move to offline work — completing exercises in their physical workbooks or engaging in structured activities away from the screen.
Because each lesson is divided into these purposeful segments, screen exposure is naturally limited. Students are not staring at a monitor for the entire duration of the session.
The screen is used as a tool, not the classroom.
What support do parents get?
At Vikalp, parents are not passive observers — they are active partners in their child’s learning journey. The school ensures continuous communication, guidance, and support.
- Regular Academic Updates
Parents receive regular updates on follow-up work sent to students, ensuring they know what reinforcement or practice is expected at home. Progress reports provide clarity on academic performance and concept mastery.
- Holistic Development Updates
Vikalp keeps parents informed not only about academics but also about their child’s mental and socio-emotional development. Teachers share observations regarding confidence, participation, emotional well-being, and learning behavior.
Early Issue Identification & Remedial Action
If any academic, behavioural, or emotional concern arises, parents are promptly notified. The school provides clear remedial steps and structured intervention plans, ensuring timely support.
- Career Guidance Support
Career guidance is regularly offered to both students and parents, helping families make informed decisions about subject choices, board pathways, and future academic or professional directions.
- Detailed Parent-Teacher Meetings (PTMs)
During PTMs:
- Each child’s strengths and weaknesses are discussed in depth.
- Teachers and parents collaboratively review progress.
- Specific remedial plans and improvement strategies are outlined clearly.
- Open Communication Channels
Teachers remain accessible for discussions, clarifications, and guidance — fostering a transparent and supportive environment.
Can my child transition back to offline CBSE / ICSE schools later?
Yes. Students from Vikalp Online School can transition to offline CBSE or ICSE schools.
Vikalp follows the NCERT syllabus, ensuring that the curriculum remains aligned with the academic standards of both CBSE and ICSE boards. This alignment supports a smooth academic transition.
Upon request, Vikalp issues the required Transfer Certificate (TC) and Marksheet, which are valid documents and are accepted by schools following CBSE and ICSE boards.
Most offline schools conduct an entrance assessment or interaction for new admissions. Migration is generally straightforward provided:
- The student clears the entrance assessment
- Valid documentation (Transfer Certificate and Marksheet) is submitted
- Seats are available in the desired grade
As with any school transfer, final admission is subject to the receiving school’s policies. However, with proper documentation and academic continuity, students can transition smoothly.
How are assessments and progress tracked?
At Vikalp, assessment is structured, continuous, and growth-oriented. We follow a system of Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) — meaning students are not evaluated only once or twice a year. Assessment is an ongoing process integrated into everyday learning.
- Formative Assessment (Continuous Evaluation)
Our Formative Assessment tracks student performance throughout the learning process. It includes:
- Daily classroom participation
- Workbook exercises
- Submitted assignments
- Project work
- Quizzes and activity-based tasks
These markers help teachers understand how children are performing while concepts are still being formed, allowing early identification of gaps and timely intervention.
Formative assessment also includes observation of each child’s socio-emotional development, including confidence, participation, focus, and engagement.
- Summative Assessment (Periodic Evaluation)
The second component is the Summative Assessment, which consists of written tests conducted twice a year.
These tests evaluate:
- Concept retention
- Application skills
- Ability to summarize and express understanding clearly
📊 3. Diagnostic Reporting & Remedial Planning
The results of both Formative and Summative Assessments are combined to create a detailed diagnostic report.
This report:
- Highlights a child’s strengths
- Identifies areas needing improvement
- Suggests specific remedial actions
If any academic or socio-emotional “red flags” are observed, they are discussed transparently during the Parent-Teacher Meeting (PTM), along with structured improvement strategies.
