CURRICULUM

SCHOLASTIC

Kindergarten

The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to be thematic, integrated, developmentally appropriate, and holistic, providing ample room for creativity.

Teaching methods encompass a range of engaging activities, including Free Play Corners, Circle Time, Concept Time, Nursery Rhyme Time/Sing Along Time, The Second Concept, Art Center, Conversation Time, Gross Motor Activities, Music and Movement, and Science and Discovery Center. These diverse approaches ensure a comprehensive learning experience for students.

Primary & Secondary

The foundation of children's understanding is rooted in the Constructivist theory, where they construct knowledge through experiential learning and reflective processes, following the five cycles of learning: explore, engage, explain, extend, and evaluate. This approach integrates 21st-century skills such as communication, creative and critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, and leadership. In our educational approach, life is perceived as a holistic experience. Real-life scenarios are not compartmentalized into distinct disciplines; rather, successful living requires skills that transcend disciplinary boundaries. Curriculum integration aims to help students connect their learning and understand the genuine purposes behind their education. Our teaching and learning process centers around five integrated Units of Learning. Each theme emphasizes inquiry-based learning, encouraging exploration, questioning, experimenting, researching, and elaborating solutions to problems. We provide children with opportunities to respond to various stimuli, engaging them actively in constructing their own concepts. Each concept is presented in diverse ways, ensuring that all types of learners can comprehend and grasp the material effectively. Recognizing that young children are inherently curious, we nurture and stimulate this curiosity. By doing so, we foster cognitive processes that establish a strong foundation for their future learning endeavors.

The curriculum is designed on the guidelines of Central Board Of Secondary Education (CBSE) , Wherein The key Feature is to prepare the students to become global citizen
