In our curriculum structure, the content and the learning experiences are organized and integrated in a holistic way.
We ensure that the child learns through experiential learning, analyzing, reflecting, conceptualizing and applying the knowledge for deeper insight and long lasting learning.
Our school lays a lot of emphasis on the Language Development and promotes academic and social activities to enthuse critical and creative thinking and writing, events that encourages collaboration and coordination with peers throughout their learning years in school.
LANGUAGES( ENGLISH / HINDI / MARATHI ):
Every child from this age group should possess the ability to use language in a proper manner to express their feelings, ideas as well as their opinions fluently and clearly. But to be able to achieve such competency, one needs to enjoy extensive reading and conduct research.
The best way to learn any language is to simply learn it the way the mother tongue is learnt i.e. From hearing to listening to speech to reading and finally writing.
The curriculum aims at building the four pillars of language development, listening, speaking, reading and writing. If emphasis is laid in building the latter two pillars first, i.e. reading and writing, keeping in mind mere marks oriented performance in assessments,the child’s language foundation cannot hold ground firmly. To be able to excel in debates, group discussions, elocution, poetry appreciation or even conduct meaningful conversation with peers or strangers after school life ends, it is extremely essential that the first two pillars i.e listening and speaking must be built strongly.
MATHEMATICS
Most of us perceive Math as a subject that deals only with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of numbers, numbers and numbers. But excellence in Mathematics is achieved only when the child is able to clearly see, imagine and play with numbers.
Our curriculum aims at creating liking and interest towards the subject by exposing them to the world of varied problems and its innumerable methods of solving them.
The curriculum aims at developing the necessary tools like Observation, Number analysis, Quantity recognition, Space perception, mathematical thinking and logical reasoning and to use the variety of mathematical tools in the learning and application of mathematics effectively and most important comfortably.
EVS / SCIENCE
Our EVS curriculum emphasizes inculcation of values, attitudes and skills related to protection of the environment and enhance/promote curiosity and creativity in relation to the surroundings.
It also develops an appreciation for diversity (language, family, habits, variations in plants, animals, culture etc.) in the immediate surroundings.
The focus of the Science Curriculum is on skill and process development rather than content coverage. The curriculum encourages development of scientific temper, curiosity, analytical and critical thinking and synthesis of ideas and concepts.
In Grades I and II, EVS covers areas of both Science and Social Studies in an integrated manner, however in Grades III to V the Social Environment component of EVS is covered in Social Studies and Natural environment component is covered in Science.
SOCIAL STUDIES
Initially Our children are introduced to Social studies through discussions about their family system, social changes around them, national and cultural events, our tradition and certain practices.
It also throws light on each persons’ role in society and our subsequent interdependence in the society, awareness towards public and private property, functions of government and how it influences our life altogether.
