The Primary stage of education is immensely important for every child, as it is here that the foundations of literacy, numeric reflection and thinking skills are laid down for the future. At K.R.Mangalam World School, we aim to nurture skilled, confident children who are inquirers both within the classroom and in the world beyond. We address every facet of their existence – social, physical, emotional, cultural and spiritual – in addition to academics.
The course has been devised keeping in mind the best research and practice across a whole range of national/ international systems. To facilitate the best development in every child we keep our class sizes manageable and student teacher ratio healthy.
Students work in ever-changing groups to encourage learning from each other as well as allowing children to process other opinions and to develop listening skills & critical thinking abilities. This does not limit their learning to the teacher's ability alone but encourages “out of the box “thinking as that is a skill required by students in the future.
The Curriculum focuses on foundational literacy and numeracy – and generally, on reading, writing, speaking, counting, arithmetic, and mathematical thinking – moving throughout the preparatory and middle school curriculum, with a robust system of continuous formative/adaptive assessment to track and thereby individualize and ensure each student’s learning. We recognize that children at this level are individuals with their unique abilities and interests and also active, curious, experimental, imaginative, talkative and above all, very honest.
