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.

the main Indian language- Hindi. The objective is to ensure verbal fluency

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
