The basic method of teaching is the playway method. The formal
teaching becomes
very monotonous and makes the students repel from the school. Concepts of
environmental
studies, community helpers, flowers, fruits, vegetables, animals, seasons, a
birthday party
etc. are taught through experiential teaching.
PREPARATORY STAGE (CLASSES III TO V)
The primary school programme builds upon the natural curiosity and
inquiry that
children exhibit at this age. It is fuelled by sensorial/experiential exploration
in
languages, math, and science---through nature, art, music, and dance. Children
consolidate and
connect with what they learn. They enquire and explore, ponder, and question,
observe, and
demonstrate their learning in multiple ways. The classrooms and bulletin boards in
school
reflect the energy and rigor among the students. They are an explosion of ideas,
creativity,
and knowledge. Each class sets its own rules for expected behaviour and limits,
guided by a
broader school discipline policy.
MIDDLE STAGE (CLASSES VI TO VIII)
At this level the horizon of the imagination widens and concepts
are presented
in an abstract manner. Teaching, therefore, is undertaken through various projects
and
workshops and students are trained to apply the class room knowledge in their own
lives and
the society at large.To assess and evaluate a child's progress, examinations,
projects, tests
and assignments are held intermittently.
SECONDARY STAGE (CLASSES IX TO XII)
The Secondary & Hr.Secondary School Programme consolidates
knowledge of
previous years and strengthens students' understanding of individual disciplines
to help them
choose their career path. The NCERT curriculum prescribed by GSHSEB - focus on
in-depth
experiential learning through projects, experiments, assignments, discussions and
presentations.
FOUNDATION STAGE
It comprises of three years of pre primary, and two stages of primary. At pre-school,
Prep I and Prep II basic methodology is to break the monotony of the formal learning
by adopting play way teaching method. Pre schooling has been made very effective and
interesting so that children start loving the idea of being in school every day.
To make this possible, classrooms have been designed with a lot of intricacies, age
appropriate toys, books and activity centre. For the tiny tots a specially designed
dollhouse, library cum activity room, outdoor recreation park with swings, slides,
rocker, jumping and many more play equipments have been installed.
The curriculum has been designed in such a way that it helps in developing child's
Gross motor, Fine motor and mental skills. This section has various zones within it to
teach concepts of language, number work and general knowledge. To make learning more
interesting, it is supplemented with story telling conversation, projects, rhymes and
various teaching aids.
Two years of primary (classes I & II) aims to curb the detrimental trend of the
downward extension of primary curriculum to pre-primary classes that was resulting in
over-load of teaching-learning content causing extreme stress and overwork to the
early learners who were expected to master reading, writing, and numbers operations at
pre-primary stage.
