Astronomy club for schools in Gurgaon (Gurugram)
Gurgaon’s schools span CBSE, ICSE, IB and Cambridge, often within a few kilometres of each other. The club handles all of them: one weekly theme, taught through NCERT chapters or the IB PYP, MYP and DP frameworks, depending on the school.
Bringing the club to a Gurgaon school
Astris is based in Delhi NCR and runs the club on school campuses across the region. Book a free assembly demo and we will come to your school.
How it works
No cost to the school
The school gives a room and one weekly slot. Astris brings the educators, telescopes, kits, enrolment and reports. Families enrol and pay Astris directly, the way schools already host robotics or debating clubs.
Linked to the syllabus students already have
Every weekly theme is taught through the chapters each band is studying in class: EVS and early Science for Grades 4–6, Science and Geography for 7–9, board Physics and Maths for 10–12. It is never an extra subject.
Real observing, safely
Seven telescope sessions a year: four daytime solar observations through certified filters or projection, and three evening sky-watches with families, with staff present and written parent consent.
Measured, not just enjoyed
An April baseline and a February endline on NCERT-tagged questions, a logbook stamped by the educator, weekly parent notes, progress cards in October and February, and an annual report to the principal.
Gurgaon’s sky, honestly
On campus, Gurgaon shares Delhi’s bright Bortle 8–9 sky and its monsoon and winter haze. The difference is what lies just beyond the city: the Aravalli country to the south is noticeably darker and close enough that an evening sky-watch away from the city lights is a short trip rather than an expedition.
Astris runs Nakshatraalay, its own astronomy destination, in Gurgaon. That puts a ready-made observing site, with telescopes and educators, within reach of every Gurgaon school.
Planning the club year in Gurgaon
The club runs from April to February. In each city its evening sky-watches go into the clearest months, and daytime solar sessions and indoor builds carry the rest.
| Months | What the club uses them for |
|---|---|
| October – November | First sky-watch, the Moon and the bright planets |
| December – January | Clear winter nights between hazy spells; solar sessions by day |
| February – April | Best evenings of the year, and the showcase |
| July – September | Indoor builds and concept sessions through the monsoon |

IB-ready mapping
Explorers map to PYP units of inquiry, Navigators to all four MYP Sciences criteria, and Astronomers to DP Physics topics, with observations that can grow into an Internal Assessment or an Extended Essay.
For CBSE, ICSE, IB and Cambridge, side by side, often within a few kilometres schools
The club’s ready-made mapping covers CBSE / NCERT and IB (PYP, MYP and DP); ICSE mapping is available on request, and state-board schools are matched to their own textbooks at onboarding. The club adds no subject, no syllabus and no exam.
Common questions
- Does the astronomy club work for IB schools in Gurgaon?
- Yes. There is an IB mapping for PYP, MYP and DP alongside the CBSE / NCERT mapping, so the same weekly theme is taught through the framework the school uses.
- Is there somewhere near Gurgaon for a darker sky-watch?
- Yes. The Aravalli country south of the city is noticeably darker than Gurgaon itself, and Astris runs Nakshatraalay in Gurgaon as an observing destination for schools.
