PRIMARY
The curriculum for the primary kids is framed for promoting learning, personal growth and development. It includes not only the academic requirements of the SSC Board but also a wide range of extra-curricular activities the school conducts to create enriching experiences for our students. We aim to teach children to grow with a positive mind-set, responsible citizens, who can work in teams, while developing knowledge, skills and attitudes, in order that they achieve their true potential. The approach takes into account the natural tendency of the young inquisitive mind of the children to acquire knowledge, understand concepts and develop skills to choose and apply knowledge in relevant situations.
