Middle Years – Grade 3 to 7

Teaching Learning Pedagogy

Our pedagogy in the middle years focuses on ‘how’ teaching happens and learning occurs. Middle years pedagogy is outcome-centric. We use an array of teaching strategies that include direct instruction, collaborative learning and inquiry-based learning. Ultimately, we aim to blend consistency and variety in teaching methods by combining established learning theories with innovative practices and programs. All of these help Learners improve their learning outcomes and achieve their full potential.

Our clearly defined outcomes are measured which helps to identify the progress students make after a specific learning activity, determining the gap between their existing learning state and their desired learning state while providing better direction to the planning of all learning activities.

Curriculum

Our Middle year program aims at equipping the child with skills to adapt in the ever-changing world along with a focus on concepts of Core subjects. The School follows a NEP compliant curriculum where teachers use various strategies to not only make it interesting but also develop various life skills along with learning.

Teachers use Active Learning Strategies like: Group discussions, Brainstorming, Think Pair Share, Guided discovery, etc for teaching the core subjects. This helps to inculcate the spirit of inquiry, initiate active participation of students in class, and teach them to collaborate with peers, and analyze and apply concepts better. Education and gaining knowledge becomes an experience in itself where learners look forward to learning.

Special Programs

  • DIY Science/Math kits - The DIY kits are introduced from Prep I to make learning an enriching and joyful experience. These DIY kits are designed and planned learning programs for children, which engage their keen, inquisitive and imaginative minds via holistic experiential learning modules. Our activity-based curricula mapped to the syllabus encourage children to understand, appreciate and apply the subject being taught.
  • Language Accelerator Program(LAP) - We believe in age appropriate development based on child's psychology and research. In this specially designed program in middle years our focus is on vocabulary development, with confident speaking skills, reading comprehension and Listening skills.
  • Detailed Assessment - From Grade 6 onwards, the school uses a diagnostic topic-wise testing tool, which aims at providing immediate feedback to teachers on the current level of student understanding of the topics taught and completed in the classroom and hence ensuring that the remediation are effective.
