Pre-primary

PRE-PRIMARY – CONCEPT FORMATION

At this budding stage feelings of love and protection are nurtured to make the toddlers feel at ease and comfort. Each child must feel happy and excited to come to school with a motivation to explore and understand their environment.


The curriculum at The Achievers School lays a strong emphasis on the constructivist approach where the child is the architect of her/his own knowledge. Underlying every learning topic is a concept-based that encourages children to see the connections between different subject areas. We believe that storytelling, play, learning musical instruments, swimming, dance, and drama are as important for learning as science, mathematics, and social science. In the week’s timetable, therefore, each area finds a place for itself.

Children in the pre-primary school will spend time on Circle Time, Show and Tell, Maths, Language, Understanding Our World, Dance, Music, Free Play, and Activity Room.

The naturally curious minds are exposed to conditions that can evoke freedom of thought and expression. Language development, concept formation, socio-emotional skills along with fine and gross motor development happen simultaneously through exploration, interrogation, and eventually self-discovery. This can build confident youngsters who feel free to be creative and motivated to learn. The path is laid thus for the toddlers to board the adventure of learning and march into the primary level.

Language

Language skills for English and Vernacular are honed through reading activities that instigate thinking, imagination and analysis. This skill is taken a step higher by involving students in various individual and group activities that develop writing as well as speaking skills.

Arithmetic and mathematical skills

Arithmetic and mathematical skills are encouraged through the habit of practice coupled with a deep interest in logical reasoning and anlysis. These are achieved by making the the young inquisitive minds regularly engrossed in challenges involving abstract reasoning, measuring activities and congnitive abilities.

Scientific skills

Scientific skills to experiment and find logic behind the endless phenomenons of physical life, the planet and nature are developed through ample opportunities of real life experiences, laboratory activities and class room projects. The students can learn by themselves rather than being taught with required guidance and mentoring. This develops the natural urge to find connections and logical reasoning skills begin to find deep roots from a very young age.

Computer skills

Computer skills are developed through dual methods of theory and practical activities. Demonstration by mentors coupled with hands-on experience by students makes them confident learners who can easily grasp the functioning of the machine.

Social Studies

Social Studies can actually develop multiple skills of analysis where students interpret the past, compare it to the present, and derive implications for the future. Analyzing the earth on which we live and the various events that have shaped the present through plays, models and innovative activities can actually make the learning most interesting and challenging.

General knowledge

General knowledge is an area that is built through continuous awareness. Quiz, puzzles, and various interesting games keep the students interested and well acquainted with the latest news and various know-how.

Morals and values

Morals and values are an integral part of the whole school environment. Students learn essential morals, values and principles through story sessions, role plays and screening of value-based short movies followed with reflection, discussion and conclusion, enabling inculcation of values in self-learning mode coupled with hyms that create positive vibes from a very tender age.
