Scottish High intends to sow the seeds of scientific temper and mathematical skills, in the minds of the students right from their impressionable age. It has developed separate and full-fledged labs for Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Life Sciences, as these subjects are not only based on theoretical learning but practical applications as well. The curriculum at Scottish High International School helps the students to develop science skills through keen observation in the areas of scientific theories, life processes, materials and their physical and chemical properties. Students are given proper demonstrations and are expected to conduct these experiments as stipulated in their curriculum. The students are taken out on field trips for plant collection for their herbarium. Innovatively designed full-fledged Math lab makes learning this subject interesting and simple.
Students along with their teachers are encouraged to conduct internal and external science symposia as well as science fairs. An exclusive model room is created to make models and presentations during their science projects and science exhibitions. Talented students are trained and encouraged to participate in Mathematics and Science Olympiads.

ATAL Tinkering Lab – Igniting Innovation at Scottish High

At Scottish High International School, we believe that innovation is not just a skill—it’s a mindset. In alignment with the Government of India’s visionary Atal Innovation Mission, we proudly established the SHIS Atal Tinkering Lab (ATL) to nurture this very spirit among our Highlanders.

The ATL is a state-of-the-art innovation hub designed to transform young learners into future-ready thinkers, problem solvers, and creators. Equipped with advanced tools like 3D printers, robotics kits, microcontrollers, sensors, and DIY science modules, the lab provides students a platform to go beyond textbooks and bring ideas to life through hands-on experimentation.

More than just a lab, ATL is a launchpad for creativity, curiosity, and entrepreneurship, where students gain exposure to real-world challenges and develop 21st-century skills—design thinking, computational thinking, critical reasoning, and collaborative innovation.

Since its inception, our students have brought great laurels to the school by consistently excelling in prestigious national-level competitions such as the ATL Marathon, Tinkerpreneur Bootcamp, Manak Inspire Awards, and the KV Rao Inspire Award. SHIS has been repeatedly recognized by NITI Aayog for Outstanding Innovation and has been honored as ATL School of the Month on several occasions.

The ATL stands as a vibrant resource center—complementing our science laboratories, yet offering something more: a space where ideas take shape, inventions are born, and future innovators are made.
