CURRICULUM

Learning from the best minds in education and industry

FOUNDATIONAL STAGE (NURSERY TO CLASS II)

Overview

Set amidst greenery with a vibrant play area, the Foundational Stage is a nurturing "home away from home" for our youngest learners. This stage fosters creativity, curiosity, and joyful learning, allowing children to blossom into confident individuals. Children engage in a balance of formal and informal activities such as singing, storytelling, games, art, and physical education. A well-stocked Junior Resource Centre further supports language and literacy development.

Teaching Methodology

Our environment encourages exploration through structured play, hands-on learning, and collaborative activities using swings, puzzles, block games, and digital tools. Experiential learning and role play deepen understanding while building communication and social-emotional skills. Classrooms feature interactive boards, iPads, and an iTheatre lab to support 21st-century learning. STEM concepts introduced through LEGO Simple Machines nurture creativity and critical thinking. Subjects and experiences are thoughtfully designed to promote well-rounded, sensory-rich development.

Evaluation

NUR, LKG AND UKG

Evaluation is continuous and informal, based on observations and activity-based assessments over three terms. This approach nurtures each child's unique growth journey.

CLASSES I AND II

Evaluation is a blend of informal and formal methods, including observations, practice work, revision worksheets, and activity-based tasks across three terms. In Classes I and II, this continues with added term-end assessments, ensuring steady progress throughout the year.
