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.
PROJECTS
The project approach refers to a set of teaching strategies which enables teachers to
guide children through in–depth studies of real world topics. It characterizes the
teaching learning interaction through which children can be highly motivated, feel
actively involved in their own learning, and produce work of a high quality.
The Projects are the integral part of the curriculum providing complementary learning
opportunities, which takes students beyond the formal - teacher directed learning, to
recognizing, acquiring and applying their skills in meaningful contex.
