In Grade 1, Learners are now encouraged to further inquire, explore & reflect to their hearts content. They are guided through the subject areas of Language, Mathematics, Science & Social Studies. We slowly nurture a love for reading and writing by integrating different age-appropriate activities into the daily curriculum. Language is enhanced by students choosing from Spanish & Hindi. Physical movement, art, music and dance are an integral part of the curriculum, giving our students the freedom of expression through these mediums.

By Grade IV, Learners are in the process of mastering certain skills and showing student agency by researching topics on their own, processing & understanding information, making connections and taking the inquiry process into their own hands. Our students understand the interconnectedness of subject areas through exploring concepts, ideas, and issues of local, national and global significance. In doing so, they acquire in-depth knowledge and develop understanding across a broad and balanced range of disciplines. Students are also given several opportunities to drive learning in their own direction, showcasing their sense of wonder, thirst for knowledge and independence.Collaborative projects and in-class group activities encourage learners to consider other perspectives in their decision-making process, combining minds and strengths to achieve a certain outcome - international mindedness in all its’ entirety!

Age: 9.6 years – 10.6 years

 

The seeds for becoming a responsible, sensitive and an internationally minded lifelong learner are sowed. The urge to question is enhanced. We encourage our students to understand, appreciate their own cultures and histories and to be open to the perspectives, values, and traditions of other individuals and communities. Our learners are accustomed to seeking and evaluating various points of view, before forming their opinion about a topic. We encourage them to approach uncertainty with courage and forethought and have the independence of spirit to explore new roles, ideas, and strategies.
