AFGJI has a special wing that caters to the educational and training needs of mentally challenged children. This wing admits children with special needs, with mild to severe retardation. The Special Wing also handles all types of learning disabilities, such as Down's Syndrome, Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Hyper Kinetic and Attention Deficit Disorders.

The academic year of the institute is from the Ist week of April to 31st March of the following academic year and is divided into three terms.

The school follows a continuous assessment programme. Children are also assessed on the basis of their performance in the quarterly examination and unit tests. At the end of every term, a progress report is given to parents.

The school's curriculum is developed according to the child's mental level. At the time of admission, in consultation with the trained physician/psychologist, counsellor, special educators and social workers, special children are placed in mildly, moderately and severely retarded categories. This helps to assess their chronological and mental ages and levels of abilities from age groups of 6 to 18 years. The objective behind this grouping is to make the programmes as functional and age appropriate as possible.

Individual attention is meted out to the special children and progress is monitored through IEP's (Individual Education Plan) in which long term and short term goals are defined and methods adopted to achieve these goals.

The academic programme consists of reading/writing simple arithmetic of Primary level, environmental awareness and home management programme. The Integrated Programme consists of drawing, music, dance, creative art and craft, physical training, morning assemblies, special-assemblies on special days like Christmas, Diwali, school annual day, annual sports day and visits of eminent persons.

The institute has qualified and experienced physical education teachers to impart physical education to the children. Facilities are also available for cricket, hockey, football and athletics. Students are trained to participate in inter-house and inter-school sports at district and state level.

On Sports Day, the Institute's Annual Day Celebrations and other school functions, the children stage a variety of entertainment programmes with socially relevant themes.

The prefectorial system is an essential feature of Air Force Golden Jubilee's Institute. Prefects assist the principal and the staff in maintaining discipline. They are the channel of communication between the staff and students.
