Kindergarten:

The School considers the Kindergarten an essential first step in the ladder of educational experience.

The aim is to foster the natural development of 3-5 year olds through an organized, systematic, child-centered programme of learning, not a syllabus-oriented curriculum.

The focus is on the holistic formation of the child, to provide stimulating activities for intellectual, linguistic, social, emotional, aesthetic and physical growth; to educate the individual not through rote learning but through active exploration and experience of his/her environment and through learning activities; to lay the foundation for the basic skills of listening, speaking, reading, writing English, and of numeracy, thus preparing them for the primary grades.

The children being at the early developmental level, their finger and eye muscles need strengthening and co-ordination. Formal writing is therefore, introduced when they are ready for it. Before they write, they will have experience with paint, brushes, crayons, and other pre-writing activities.

 
Primary and Middle School:

The School has English as the first language and Hindi as the compulsory second language. Arabic, French or Malyalam is taught as a compulsory additional language for Classes VI - VIII, fulfilling the requirement of a compulsory third language by the Central Board of Secondary Education.

Besides the languages, Mathematics, Science, Environmental Studies, Social Studies, Physical and Health Education, Computer Studies, Art and Craft, Hindustani Music, and Work Experience are taught.

Developmental activities like games, sports, debates, elocution, quizzing, dramatics, Scouting & Guiding, value-based general assemblies, talent competitions, excursions, inter-school tournaments, counselling, and career guidance are given due importance.

The Scouting and Guiding programme is an integral part of the co-curricular activities. It helps in the development of good character traits, training in leadership, learning of various life-saving skills and camping in the outdoors. This enables the child to become independent and self-reliant.

Clubs involving yoga, dramatics, mathematics and science, knitting, cooking, chess etc., function on Thursdays. Every student is expected to join a club and his/her participation is evaluated periodically.

In the teaching-learning process, the School lays emphasis less on learning by rote and more on understanding, self expression, self learning and acquisition of learning skills. There are no formal examinations for Classes I, II and III. They are assessed on their day-to-day work and through informal class tests conducted by the teachers. Students of Classes IV - VIII have formal tests. The emphasis, however, is less on rote-learning and more on evaluating the achievement of teaching objectives and development of skills.
