Primary Grades
GRADE I, II
With the advancement in time, the millennial generation is always expected to be equipped with the skill of readiness. As the children grow up a little, they move past the basics and are introduced to a well-planned, structured curriculum which will act as a perfect launch pad for grade 1. More emphasis is laid on making academics fun for the children so that, when they enter formal school all their classroom anxieties remain at bay. The life skills they gain during this age make them balanced and responsible model citizens with perfect moral values who are also analytical enough to successfully deal with spontaneous situations of life.
This level is suitable for children in the age group between 6 to 8 years. (Children of 6+ years of age as on 31st March). The child in this level is nurtured within the framework of a designed curriculum.
The focus remains on academic progress along with the honing of life skills.
THEME BASED LEARNING
To lay a solid foundation among the children, meaning learning is extremely pivotal in today’s time. A scientifically designed systematic learning process will ultimately provide a strong foundation of knowledge catering to all developmental stages of the toddlers. Many researches by experts across the world suggest that integrating a particular subject matter across different content areas, such as language, math and science, engages the whole brain through active and hands-on involvement.
This is why; we at Aekaksh School actively follow the thematic learning approach. Under Theme based learning, we set a theme for the month which the children can relate to in the real world. Themes help us to intertwine the different methodologies which make the learning experience interesting and meaningful for them. Rather than teaching each skill or topic in isolation we take up a special theme that acts as an umbrella of a larger topic under which all major aspects of academics are covered. It gives the teachers the flexibility to follow the interests of the students and mould their teaching styles accordingly.
Teaching with themes also addresses the fact that children learn best through play, active exploration of their environment, and thoughtfully planned activities in each term. Our team of experts have built themes for every grade based on the interests of little learners, while teaching age appropriate skills. Aekaksh has also ensured that all the themes:
- Are stimulating, meaningful and fun-filled.
- Support free play and exploration through books, dramatization, puzzles, outdoor activities, etc.
- Nurture the natural curiosity and enthusiasm of childhood.
- Promote children’s knowledge and skills.
LET’S GO OUT & EXPLORE
They say, ‘The more you learn, the more places you go!’, but, at Aekaksh we believe in doing the latter first. As a part of ‘Let’s go out & explore’ theme, we take the learning outside the four walls of the classroom and fill their schedules with a plethora of outdoor activities.
Academics
Aekaksh School provides Conceptual and Experiential Learning in the Lap of Nature through a UNIQUE Knowledge Park to learn the concepts of Mathematics, Science and Geography. Learning happens through hands on experience in the classrooms, Green areas and in the structured labs. Students explore, investigate, observe, predict and infer, and they understand “What, Why and How’ about the phenomena and things around them. In the process, rote learning is minimized.
