International Early Years Curriculum: Pre-Primary School

The Pre-primary stage is the most defining period of an individual’s life. We are following the highly acclaimed International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC), UK. IEYC uses international best practices, holistic enquiry and play-based approaches that cover all curriculum areas including personal, social and emotional development.

Project Based Learning: Grade I to VII

Project-based learning is a student-centered pedagogy that involves a dynamic classroom approach in which students acquire a more profound knowledge through active exploration of real-world challenges and problems.  We follow Project based learning for grades I to VII

Project-based learning not only provides opportunities for students to collaborate or drive their own learning, but it also teaches them skills such as problem solving, and helps to develop additional skills, such as critical thinking and time management. And maybe more importantly, it provides students with an opportunity to create authentic projects which are personal and meaningful to them. Students have the chance to pursue their own interests and as a result, opportunities for learning for students and teachers are tremendous.

Suchitra Academy Middle School

Within a project, students are involved with meaningful real world problems over a defined period of time. Students are required to find a solution to it through a process of asking questions, finding, analyzing, and applying information, as well as employing their creativity skills. Usually, the process also includes decision making, team collaboration, and reviewing for the sake of improving the final solution.

Moving through the process, students develop skills that include problem-solving, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity. It’s important to emphasize that the goal of project based learning is not to solve the problem, but to gain the aforementioned skills throughout the process of solving the problem.

PBL is an expremential and integrated pattern in which the core subjects like Math Science, Social studies are integrated with Art, Craft,  Music and Ict

PBL is “Hands on” and “Minds on” style of study

  • Project based learning involves all kinds of “ Hands on” or “Minds on” activities that vary in complexity
  • These tasks are detailed and objective oriented, focused on to meet standard need of the subject
  • It is instructional method in which different learning methods and strategies are incorporated to meet the individual needs of the students
  • PBL prepares students to accept and meet challenges in the real world, mirroring what professionals do every day.
  • Instead of short-term memorization strategies, project-based learning provides an opportunity for students to engage deeply with the target content, bringing about a focus on long-term retention.

Leadership and Career Guidance: Grades VIII-XII

In the senior grades, a unique experience is offered to build our students’ leadership skills. Community service, an active student council, yearly excursions and AFS intercultural programmes are an important part of the calendar.

Students also begin to think about the various career paths that are available to them, and to guide them in the right direction, we have a career counselling programme – UDAAN – right from Grade IX onwards.

The bridge across all grades

Resource room

All support systems eventually contribute to good schooling and a healthy environment. The classroom is becoming increasingly a hotbed of myriad complexities and complexes, with children requiring support beyond academics. Many have emotional problems, behavioural issues that need sorting out, and a few have learning difficulties that cannot be overcome without learning support. Our resource room is a classroom where a special education programme is delivered to a student with a learning difficulty. It is for those students who belong to a regular class but need some special instructions in an individualized or small group setting for a portion of the day. Teachers are sensitized to children with learning issues. The student is helped to come up to the grade level and then the student is weaned off the Resource room.

In case of older kids with learning issues, the CBSE gives many concessions. Students are helped in choosing alternate subjects in case of learning difficulty.

Co-curricular Activities

Suchitra Academy believes that unless the development of the mind and body goes hand in hand with a corresponding awakening of the soul, the former alone would prove to be a poor lopsided affair.

A vibrant co-curricular programme is abuzz at Suchitra. Indeed these combine to educate and develop a child holistically. There are more than several activities for students to choose from and these in turn help students to express themselves, find themselves, outside the classroom. Co-curricular pursuits include quizzing, debating, elocution, theatre, photography, fine art, pottery, Model United Nations among others

Quality Circle Time and Happiness classes

From Pre-primary to Grade V, QCT sessions are inbuilt into the weekly plan. Quality Circle Time (QCT) is the time for children to gather together to share their personal feelings and ideas about things that are significant to them. Teachers also use this to bring values into the class room. By showing children that their opinions count, encourage them to express their feelings and make real choices. You will enhance their self-esteem.

Grades VI to XII have Happiness Classes. The objective is to improve the mental well -being of the children. It teaches mindfulness, social-emotional learning, critical thinking, problem solving and relationship building. The objective is to equip pupils with the necessary skills and environment to become purpose-driven, and explore a nuanced idea of happiness.

Reading Programmes

Children need to be smart learners who can take on the challenges of life. Reading skills are a key piece for success and this is ensured by our structured Reading Programme and a well-stocked class and school library.

Read aloud Programme- Jr KG to Gr II

Reading in the early years has numerous benefits and is the key to a child’s mental and emotional growth. Children can listen on a higher language level than they can read, so reading aloud makes complex ideas more accessible and exposes children to vocabulary and language patterns that are not part of everyday speech. We have an inquiry based read-aloud programme that provides rich literacy language and oral conversation.

Novel reading programme- Grades III-VII

The novel reading program emphasizes the interaction between readers and text. This programme develops thinking, inquiry and research interwoven with comprehension, expression and performance for developing a love for language in emergent readers.

Partnering programme - Grades IX-XII

“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” – Helen Keller

We offer a unique Partnering programme for the students of Grades IX-XII. The aim of this programme is to offer a teacher partner to the student and reach out to them beyond the classroom. This partnership aims to guide the students keeping in mind their emotional and social well being, help identify their academic needs, set goals for their future and keep a track of their progress and achievements.

Clubs - Umang

Virtual Clubs for students was started as a way of investing time in their favourite hobbies/activities. 14 clubs covering Entrepreneurship, MUN, Book club, Innovation in Electronics, Dance, Chess, Debate, Speak to Lead, Vedic Math, Life hacks, Equality Club, Internationalism and General Awareness saw a massive response from students of Grades V-XII and Stage 5. Nearly 575 students are a part of these clubs with 28 mentors guiding them as they explore their areas of passion every Friday dedicated for this purpose. Each club has set plans and objectives, driving towards the goal of emotional happiness of students amidst yet another year of online classes.
