Primary School Programme (I - V)
The Primary Programme focuses on taking forward the elementary education that students acquired at the Pre-primary level. It incites creativity, exploration and curiosity and emphases on the all-round development of the students, refining their skills in several fields – reading, writing, listening, speaking, problem-solving, observation, measurement and the use of information and communication technology. A number of individual and group activities that are conducted habitually make students competent to work across all levels, scholastic as well as non-scholastic.
Physical Education and Sports are integral parts of the Primary School Programme as they help in enhancing students’ motor skills and creating awareness about general health and fitness. Exposure to team and individual sports encourages a sense of team spirit and cooperation, as well as individual effort and accomplishment.
The wide range of curricular and co-curricular opportunities offered in the curriculum help inculcate confidence and discipline in children. Field trips, excursions, activities, projects and presentations provide pragmatic learning opportunities and co-scholastic activities like Dance, Fine Arts, Music, Yoga, Elocution and Drama foster the holistic development of students. The teachers use a number of innovative teaching methods like free play, Dramatisation, puppetry, singing and dancing to deepen students’ interest in learning.
