The school environment or the surrounding of the school plays a crucial role in shaping of the learning experiences of the students. The present study includes the study of three basic dimensions of school environment---- physical, social and psychological and how they collectively influence student’s learning. A well equipped physical setting along with a supportive psychological and social atmosphere is essential for well being of the students as well as their academic improvement.
