Curriculum
The School prepares children to appear for the ICSE Board examination. The highlights of our educational philosophy are: we insist on individual attention, is it a small class size, individual counselling. We encouragedebate and promote interactive learning.
Assessment
No formal tests are conducted for the primary section.
After every topic a review is done and the performance of the student is noted. The aim is to ensure that the students have understood the course work and do not resort to rote learning. Thus, the students are continuously assessed and all subject teachers give a detailed report at the end of every term.
The class teacher, head of the junior section and the principal continuously monitor each child's performance. Recommendations are issued on a weekly basis to encourage the children to excel in academics.
Certificates and medals are awarded at the end of the year to the most promising students.
ACADEMICS
Primary School [kinder garden-KG to standard V]
Subjects taught at the primary school level include English, Arithmetic, General Awareness, and Moral Science. All languages are taught with a balanced emphasis on both the written as well as the spoken aspects.
"General Awareness" is a combination of Science, Social Studies and General Knowledge, what we believe a child should be aware of at every age. We have formulated ourown syllabus for General Awareness with an emphasis on activity-based learning. The activities include the use of audio-visual aids, art, craft work, map work, experiments, field trips, projects and group discussions. These activities are followed by extensive written work.
Computers
All students, (starting at the kindergarten level) have practical lessons on the computer. The aim is to ensure that by the time the child graduates from the primary section, they will have a working knowledge of word processing, multimedia and simple graphics. All exercises on the computer are correlated with the lessons taught in class in order to enhance the children's understanding ofthe various subjects.
Homework and Tuition
It is the policy of the school that all the work should be completed in school at the primary level. At the end of every day, one period is assigned where revision work is completed under the supervision of the class teachers.
Students who need extra tutorials are coached free of cost. After school hours, all children are encouraged to spend their free time, reading and improving their language skills.
