Astronomy club for schools in Kolkata
Kolkata has a strong ICSE tradition and a city that takes science seriously. The club’s ICSE mapping is available on request, and its themes run through the same weekly structure for every board.
Bringing the club to a Kolkata school
Astris is based in Delhi NCR. Schools in Kolkata can request the club today: tell us your school, grades and preferred start, and we will confirm educator scheduling for Kolkata when we reply, along with a quote and the full proposal.
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.
Kolkata’s sky, honestly
The campus sky is bright and humid. The Moon, the bright planets and daytime solar observing through certified filters are the reliable targets.
The monsoon runs from June to September. The cool, dry months from November to February give Kolkata its clearest evenings.
Planning the club year in Kolkata
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 |
|---|---|
| November – February | Clear, cool evenings: the main sky-watches |
| March – May | Hot and hazy; solar sessions and early-evening planets |
| June – October | Monsoon: builds and concept sessions |
