INTRODUCTION

At St. John’s School , we recognise the challenges of an inter-dependent and competitive world and the need for our children to adapt and excel in it. We believe an education system that stimulates children to use their multiple faculties and think in connected ways, can better prepare them for success.

To that end, we have developed a highly experiential and contextual curriculum based on interdisciplinary teaching methods. Our motivated faculty will interpret this dynamic learning model using the school’s exceptional resources and facilities. By adopting a creative and collaborative approach to learning, we will provide children with opportunities to realise their full potential and excel anywhere in the world.

Curricular Overview: An Inventive Curriculum- Innovative, Inspired, Focusing On Excellence and Rigour .

 We have taken the best practices from both progressive as well as traditional schools and created an inspired curriculum. Student achievement in and outside the classroom is our primary focus.

Inventive Thinking: The school's curricular framework allows children to continuously engage in learning experiences that encourage inquiry, reflection, communication and application of their learning in real world situations. By inculcating the skills of creative and independent thinking and the ability to view an issue from multiple perspectives, we believe, our learning programme will prepare children for life.

Multiple Intelligences: Our team  recognizes that children learn in myriad ways and demonstrate intelligences beyond mere language and mathematical abilities. The school encourages the exploration, demonstration and excellence of these intelligences. The curriculum provides opportunities for children to learn and demonstrate their learning in multiple ways .

Differentiated Learning: Concepts are mapped across grades to ensure seamless transitions and clear progressions in each subject. The concepts are then qualified by clear measurable outcomes. These outcomes define the knowledge, skills and attitudes the child will acquire in order to demonstrate learning.

Teachers take into account the pace of learning, interests and abilities of each child. Based on observations and formal and informal assessments of the achievement of these outcomes an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) is drawn up for every student, keeping in mind his/her strengths and developmental needs.

Teachers use this information to plan learning experiences. They use whole-group instruction for introducing ideas, planning, or sharing results and then let students work individually or in groups based on readiness, interests, or learning styles. They use ongoing assessments of readiness and interests, to help the children who need more support and those who need an accelerated plan.
