Pupils are admitted
to the junior section at the age of 4+ years of age .
Junior school comprises of classes KG-V. The academic
year which extends from April to March of the following
year is divided into two broad sessions and the evaluation
of a child’s progress is a comprehensive
and continuous one. Reporting assesses the pupil’s
development of skills as well as knowledge. Equal emphasis
is laid on the mental, social and emotional growth of
our wards . Activity –based learning is preferred
in the junior section and formation of attitudes,
skills and concepts is favoured over
rote-learning. Values are inculcated during assembly and
in the class-rooms and effort, good
habits and good manners are rewarded along with
excellence . The curriculum and text- books are reviewed
and revised frequently, in keeping with the latest trends
of primary education and learning strategies are planned
keeping both the gifted and the slow-learner in mind.
Remedial classes are an ongoing process
in the junior section - this helps the slow , the tardy
and the indolent . Steps are taken to ensure that each
child reaches his potential in a free and friendly environment
. A school counsellor provides guidelines to pupils and
parents on ways of overcoming learning disabilities. TAL
OR Technology – Aided-Learning has been
successfully integrated into the school curriculum and
the use of multimedia helps the child to go beyond the
confines of the class-room . Well-equipped science,
maths and computer labs enhance the joy
of discovery in the children.
Our teachers attend a plethora of workshops and refresher
courses to refurbish their skills and reinvent themselves
in order to cater to the needs of the new age pupil. The
teaching-learning tools and methodology that find implementation
in the junior school all contribute towards developing
critical, creative,
co-operative and caring thinking in our
pupils. |
