Primary Years Curriculum
The primary curriculum aims to provide a well-rounded education that supports children's intellectual, emotional, social, and physical development during their formative years in school.
Our endeavour is to nurture holistic development by discovering the child’s innate talents, foster their curiosity through experiential learning and develop them into mindful human beings.

Core Subjects
These include English, Hindi, Numeracy and CREST (Conceptual learning through Reasoning,
Exploration, Skilling and Technology). These subjects form the basis of a child’s
literacy, numeracy, and scientific understanding.
Foundation Subjects
These include subjects such as Future Skills and Sustainability (FS&S), Visual Arts, ICT,
Performing Arts (Music and Dance), Sport and Well-being (SWB), and Grade V onwards a
third language is introduced. A choice between Sanskrit, French, German and Spanish is
given. These subjects provide a broad and balanced education, introducing children to
different areas of knowledge and skills.
