Indian School Sur offers a structured Co-Curricular Activities (CCA) program that balances academic learning with skill development. The CCA includes art and craft, collage, clay modelling, recitation, elocution, Just a Minute, solo dance, solo song, and mono act, among other events. All CCA events are non-competitive, and students are graded on performance with categories such as A+ (outstanding), A (very good), B+ (good) and B (average). The program aims to develop self-esteem, leadership, and a range of talents within the intra-school environment.
Arts and creative activities are supported by dedicated spaces for Art, Craft, and Music, and a campus that provides 27 classrooms with Smart Televisions and separate spaces for Art, Craft, and Music. The CCA program showcases visual and performing arts through events such as Lens Legacy (photography), Fast Flicks (short movie making), and Motion Magic (theme dance), among other creative performances. These activities are integrated into the school's intra-school schedule to encourage artistic expression.
Language-related activities are embedded in CCA with English, Hindi, and Malayalam events. For example, Verse Voyage is English Recitation. Kavya Kalash covers Hindi Recitation and Hindi Calligraphy, with Malayalam poetry also included in appropriate categories. The Student Council supports language-focused leadership through a Linguistic Secretary and linguistic prefects to promote language-related activities.
Social and hobby-based activities are offered through intra-school competitions that span primary to senior levels, including art and craft, recitation, elocution, and performing arts. Examples of creative entries include Dynamic Beats (Action Song Dance) and other category events designed for group or individual performance. The program also features broader creative showcases in general events such as short movie making, photography collections, and magazine design.
Service to neighbours in need is a core value of Indian School Sur and is highlighted in its mission to deliver quality education for all. The school supports charitable activity through programs like Sponsor a Child, which invites involvement from donors and the community. While the site emphasizes service and related programs, it does not publish a detailed, publicly accessible list of ongoing community outreach opportunities.
Student leadership is structured through the Indian School Sur Student Council for 2025-2026, with designated offices such as School Head Boy, School Head Girl, Deputy Head Boy, and Deputy Head Girl. The student leadership framework also includes a Sports Secretary, Linguistic Secretary, and House Office Bearers, along with Senior and Junior Prefects and a Cultural Secretary. This configuration provides formal avenues for leadership development and governance within the student body.
The campus features facilities that support physical activity, including a basketball court and a football turf, as well as a roofed stage for performances. The school promotes reading and research through a fully computerized library and an e-library with remote access. Counseling services offer social-emotional support, including individual and group counseling, and provide mental health training and workshops for students and families.
