Primary School - Standard I to III
Course Work
Subjects taught at the primary school level include English,
Mathematics, General Awareness, and a second language (Tamil,
Hindi or Malayalam). All languages are taught with a balanced
emphasis on both the written as well as the spoken aspects.
"General Awareness" is a combination of Science, Social Studies
and Environmental Studies and encompasses what we believe a
child should be aware of at every age. We have formulated our
own syllabus for General Awareness with an emphasis on
activity-based learning. The activities include the use of
audio-visual aids, art, craftwork, map work, experiments, field
trips, projects and group discussions. These activities are
followed by extensive written work.
Co-Curricular Work
At the primary level, in addition to the course work, time has
been allocated for Moral Science, General Knowledge, Reading and
Spoken English. Also, once a week, children have a substantial
amount of time allocated for various school related activities.
These include Junior day (singing, elocution and declamation)
and Junior Annual Day (play practice, singing and dance).
Computers
All students, starting from Class I, have practical lessons on
using the computer. The aim is to ensure that by the time the
child graduates from the primary section, they will have a
working knowledge of how to operate a computer, and learn the
basics of word processing, multimedia and graphics. All
exercises on the computer are correlated with the lessons taught
in class in order to enhance the child’s understanding of the
various subjects.
