Curriculum

The school follows the C.B.S.E. Curriculum as prescribed by the National Council of Educational Research and Training.

Kindergarten

The Kindergarten wing of the school comprises of classes L.K.G. and U.K.G. which caters to the needs and demands of early childhood learning. Bearing in mind that the foundation of a child's personality is laid and two third of his intellect is formed at this age, we have created an environment and a system of teaching which is entirely child friendly. It is here that they learn social skills, independent play, develop verbal ability and imbibe the skills and joy of making and creating things with their own hands through art and crafts which is an integral part of the curriculum. Formal learning of the three R's is introduced in Nursery. It finds a more prominent place in the Preparatory curriculum which includes recognition, reading and writing of English, Hindi and Tamil alphabets and short words. They also learn basic arithmetical concepts.

The children are introduced to MI‐Kids ‐ English language learning programme, which has gained international acceptance by educationists world over. The phonic skill imparted through this programme, helps the child to rapidly transform into independent confident reader who can understand, spell and read correctly. It also helps the children to achieve mastery over the English language. The children learn to recite rhymes and narrate short stories in all three languages. They are nurtured to imbibe moral values, good manners and acceptable behaviour through demonstrations, stories and classroom activities.

The students will be introduced to a method of learning that will take place primarily through experience rather than rote learning. Wherever possible children will have opportunities to actually experience and 'apply' information and knowledge. We believe that for children to learn effectively, the content of the curriculum, as well as its delivery, is of paramount importance. Our curriculum calls attention to 'handson' learning experience. The 'hands‐on' experience, we believe, results in a natural and integrated development of knowledge, skills and thinking. The primary focus is on the processes that children will undergo in experiencing an activity.

MI ‐ Kids English language learning programme is extended to class I. The phonic skill is imparted through this programme.

Special emphasis will be laid on creating an environment for self‐learning. The curriculum incorporates the child centered principles but also includes new content and embraces new approaches and methodologies. It is learner‐centered. It heightens the importance of literacy, numeric, and language, while at the same time responding to changing needs in science and technology, social, personal and health education.
