CURRICULUM || ACTIVITY CALENDAR || KIDS' CORNER

The core components of our curriculum:

Literacy in English is a foundation for future learning
We recognize that literacy in English is absolutely fundamental for ensuring success in English medium schools. The ability to read, to understand the meaning of the spoken word, to express one’s self in writing and orally are essential to succeed in other subjects of study. By the end of Preparatory level children communicate effectively instead of just listening and speaking. They are able to recognize the alphabet and read and write simple four letter words The emphasis is on phonetics.

Hindi Language
This is unique as it retains the Indian flavour and lays equal emphasis on the main Indian language- Hindi. The objective is to ensure verbal fluency and familiarization of the Alphabet both oral and written

Mathematics
Children become problem solvers. They learn about patterns in the environment, number concepts, comparisons, sets, basic formal operations (like adding, subtracting), 3-D objects, reading simple graphs and use of basic measurement.
 
Creative Activity
Children understand and use colour and shape to express ideas. They are able to make appropriate responses to music, art and drama.
 
Physical Skills and Well Being
Children learn the importance of observing safety rules, an understanding of sharing, taking turns, cooperation and socially acceptable behavior.
 
Moral Science
Moral values are inculcated at this tender age. Children are taught the importance of love, honesty, hardwork, caring and sharing and being sensitive to the needs of others by telling them Bible stories.
