Curriculum

The approach of the curriculum is ‘child centered’. The identified concepts, skills, issues and concerns are age-appropriate so that the understanding of the child develops gradually from self to the immediate surrounding and further to the wider environment.Thus, the child moves from simple to complex, concrete to abstract, informal to formal concepts in a logical and phased manner.

Recognizing the fact that there are different learning styles and individual children learn indifferent ways, the curriculum suggests a range of transactional processes varying from classroom discussions, case studies, field visits, surveys, hands-on experiences, experimentation, model making, poster making, slogan writing, etc. The curriculum aims to ensure that learning is a joyful experience for all children and that children are able to understand not only what they learn, but also how this learning is relevant in their lives, both present and future.

This approach lays emphasis on learning by doing (I do, I understand much better). Also, children learn better while interacting/discussing with elders/others. Thus this approach provides opportunities for children to construct their knowledge rather than placing them as recipients of information in the transactional process. The knowledge gained by them is thus an outcome of the children’s own activity. Engaging/involving children in exploring, observing, inventing the world around them helps in the process of construction of knowledge. In this curriculum, ample scope has been created for children to construct their knowledge through the social interaction (social constructivism).

The curricular approach encourages development of skills as well as life skills by using age appropriate identified themes.
