For Admission

Primary School

(Grades 3 to 5)

The Preparatory Stage, encompassing Grades 3 to 5, marks a significant transition from play-based learning to more structured and discovery-oriented education. This stage aims to strengthen foundational skills while fostering deeper conceptual understanding through experiential, multidisciplinary, and activity-based learning.

At our school, we have thoughtfully aligned our teaching and learning practices with the NEP framework to ensure a smooth progression from foundational to formal learning. Our approach is centred on nurturing curiosity, creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration, while maintaining a joyful and inclusive learning environment.

Key Features of Implementation

  • Experiential and Inquiry-Based Learning:
    Students explore concepts through hands-on activities, experiments, discussions, and real-world connections that encourage independent thinking and problem-solving.
  • Strengthening Foundational Skills:
    Continued focus on Literacy and Numeracy through engaging, contextual, and age-appropriate strategies that deepen comprehension and application.
  • Integration Across Subjects:
    Learning is designed around themes and projects that connect languages, mathematics, science, social studies, art, and physical education, encouraging a holistic understanding of the world.
  • Value-Based and Socio-Emotional Learning:
    Emphasis on empathy, ethics, teamwork, and communication skills to develop emotionally intelligent and socially responsible learners.
  • Assessment for Growth:
    Implementation of competency-based and formative assessments that focus on continuous progress, conceptual clarity, and skill development rather than rote memorization.
  • Teacher Empowerment:
    Ongoing professional development and training programs equip educators with innovative pedagogical tools aligned with NEP’s vision and contemporary best practices.

Through these initiatives, the Preparatory Stage at our school becomes a dynamic phase of exploration and growth, empowering every child to evolve into a confident, self-directed, and compassionate learner — ready to embrace the challenges of the middle years and beyond.
