Arts Programme

At The Indian Public School CBSE Erode, every child’s learning journey is enriched by a vibrant arts, music and dance programme that starts in Kindergarten and grows with them through Senior Secondary School. From early years, students explore 2D and 3D art alongside a broad spectrum of musical and dance traditions, both Indian and Western, building curiosity and growing confidence as they create. 

As they move into Middle and Senior Secondary School, students refine techniques, think more analytically and take the stage in high-calibre performances, learning to collaborate, lead and express who they are with real authenticity.

Areas of specialisation

Music

Music is woven into the heart of the curriculum, ensuring every student has the opportunity to grow through sound. Learners explore Indian and Western classical music across drums, keyboard and vocals under the expert guidance of skilled instructors, developing far more than musical ability alone. 

Regular practice builds self-discipline, organisational skills and higher thinking, whilst ensemble experiences foster teamwork and collective responsibility. Learning to read music sharpens problem-solving and analytical skills, engaging the same cognitive processes as mathematical thinking. Music at The Indian Public School is an essential, everyday part of how students discover their voice and their creative potential.

Music

Art

Art nurtures individuality and creative courage at every stage of a child's journey. At our private school in Erode, students work with a rich range of 2D and 3D media such as drawing, painting, collage and computer graphics, with equal emphasis on spontaneous creativity and research-led exploration.  

In the early years, classes offer engaging, active experiences designed to help students explore and appreciate the world around them.  

As students progress, they develop techniques and refine skills using increasingly complex concepts and models. By senior school, they independently produce high-calibre works that demonstrate analytical, perceptive and original thinking.

Art

Dance

Dance is offered in both Indian classical and western forms as an integral strand of the curriculum. Far beyond physical activity, dance builds confidence, sharpens memory and develops listening skills. Students learn to collaborate, compromise and support one another through shared performances, discovering what it truly means to work as a team.  

Each class improves flexibility, posture, cardiovascular health and muscle tone, whilst also reducing stress. Through dance, students grow into expressive, disciplined and socially aware individuals, celebrating creativity in every movement.

Dance

Drama

Drama is woven into student life, nurtured through the CAS Department as a space where creativity, confidence and expression take centre stage. Far beyond performance, drama develops storytelling instincts, stage presence and emotional intelligence.  

Through nativity plays, mime and cultural showcases, students learn to collaborate, support one another and communicate with conviction. 

Each production builds focus, memory and self-awareness, whilst reducing inhibition and strengthening interpersonal skills. Through drama, students grow into expressive, empathetic and culturally engaged individuals, discovering the transformative power of performance in every rehearsal.

Drama

Podcast

Podcasting serves as a platform for students and teachers to share perspectives, insights and experiences, fostering confidence, creativity and clarity in communication. Through student-led discussions, teacher reflections, expert interactions and inspiring success stories, learners engage with real-world thinking and develop a deeper sense of awareness.

Each episode encourages independent thought, active listening and purposeful dialogue, helping students connect knowledge with life beyond academics. As they plan, speak and reflect, they strengthen public speaking skills, critical thinking and self-belief. Through podcasting, students grow into articulate, informed and confident individuals, ready to listen, learn and lead in an ever-changing world.

Podcast

Photography

Photography unlocks creative expression and the art of visual storytelling. In the Photography & Media Lab, students master core technical skills including depth of field, framing and aesthetic composition, before exploring image editing through tools like Photoshop.  

Through collaborative projects, peer-to-peer portfolio reviews and on and off-campus exhibitions, young photographers refine their craft, find their voice and build confidence as visual artists.
