Primary

Expanding Minds Through Experience, Expression and Exploration

The Primary years are a time of tremendous growth—cognitively, socially and emotionally. At this stage, our program is designed to deepen conceptual understanding, encourage independent thinking and introduce students to the joy of meaningful responsibility within their school community.

Our Approach

Experiential Learning

We believe that students learn best by doing. Our lessons go beyond the textbook and are rooted in real-life applications. Whether it’s a math concept explored through games, a language learnt through role-play and storytelling or a science principle demonstrated with hands-on experiments, we ensure that learning is active, engaging and purposeful.

Developing Writing Skills

As students become more confident in expressing themselves, we begin to formally nurture writing skills. Students are introduced to structured formats—from creative writing to simple reports—encouraging clarity, coherence and originality in their written communication.

House System and Inter-House Activities

From Standard 3 onwards, students are inducted into school houses, fostering a sense of identity, camaraderie and teamwork. This structure provides a gradual introduction to healthy competition through inter-house events in academics, sports and cultural activities, offering valuable opportunities for leadership development and collaborative growth.

Skill Building and Group Work

We focus on building a broad range of academic and life skills. Through group work, discussions and collaborative tasks, students learn to listen, negotiate and lead—all essential 21st-century competencies.

Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE)

Evaluation remains a continuous and supportive process, aimed at identifying areas of strength and need. Regular evaluations, peer reviews, rubrics and anecdotal records are part of our CCE process.

Project-Based Activities

Our theme-based, interdisciplinary projects help students connect knowledge across subjects and apply their learning in creative ways.
