These are the foundation years wherein the child grows rapidly both physically and emotionally. Children of this age group (3 to 5 years) need an entirely different approach for the optimum development of their faculties. At this stage, an activity enriched programme will bring about all round development of the children. In fact, it is through activities alone that such a programme can be delivered. So, it is important to define the purpose/ goal and to select corresponding activities to reach it.
The child is interacting in an adult supported, non-competitive, stimulating and secure classroom environment. The programme is designed so children acquire skills, tap own potential creativity and learn to make meaningful choices and undertake responsibilities.
Our approach is learner oriented and the teacher is an observer and a guide. Core subjects (from oral to written) such as the ( English and Hindi), Arts, Arithmetic and Environmental Science comprise the learning system. In addition, the programme offers Physical Education (LeapStart, Yoga, Taekwondo, Skating, Fun Games, etc.), Dance and Music, Art, Theatre and Personality Development using 3D lab, Computer Lab, English Communication, Reading and Story- telling. Skills that will enable them to solve problems, work co¬operatively and to achieve academic excellence ultimately are acquired.

The lower Primary school provides a rich, challenging and stimulating programme so that students develop a deep interest in learning. A strong foundation of knowledge, skills and attitude is provided. In class V, students are prepared so their entry into the next level is smooth and continuity is maintained.
Languages, Mathematics, Environmental Studies, General Knowledge, Computer Science, Life Formation, Physical & Health Education, Dance, Music and Theatre along with Art & Craft and Hobby Clubs are taught. Field Trips that are educational and enable hands- on learning are planned in coordination with the lessons. Our programme is designed so that children get a hands-on, activity based and child-centered environment that takes ahead the foundations built upon in the Pre-Primary years of school. Learning is a social activity and children are naturally curious.
Our programme capitalizes on these natural dispositions by providing activities that can absorb the learning enthusiasm of children and make them committed and confident. Teachers encourage children to work in groups and pairs.
