In the Preparatory Stage the focus is on the premise that knowledge is actively constructed by the student - not passively absorbed from the textbook. Hence, the ‘hands - on' learning approach plays a vital role in forming lifelong learning competencies. With emphasis on critical thinking and problem solving the educators prompt students to ask questions and make their own connections, encouraging them to become open minded and critical thinkers who can see the human experience from multiple perspectives.
In accordance with the New Education Policy, activities and lessons are planned according to the fourfold interests of the children - conversation or communication, inquiry or finding out things, making things or construction, and artistic expression. Field trips to parks and museums, conducting experiments, pursuing a hobby in school and learning life skills are some ways in which children are exposed to a repertoire of skills and a positive attitude, with a sensitized perspective towards the environment. Students experience an interdisciplinary approach. The workshop model of instruction allows students to develop at their own pace and to learn from collaborating with others.
We aim to provide holistic and broad-based education, taking into ambit all aspects of child behaviour to develop their potential for learning which is lasting. All efforts are made to incorporate the latest trends in the field of education to prepare the future generation of learners to meet the challenges of an ever-advancing knowledge-based society and dynamically changing environment.
Equal importance is given to co-curricular activities which, we believe, help children to grow and become sensitive to the beauty in nature, and develop social values and aesthetic aspects of life, in alignment to the mission of the school.
