Lower School
|
At Sanskriti,
learning is child-centered and activity oriented. Through innovative and
experiential teaching
methods, we hope to make
the learning process extremely enjoyable. With subject based classrooms,
state-of-the-art facilities and for the holistic
development of our children, the school aims to provide world-class
education that will make our students striving achievers. Students will
be admitted from Nursery to Class XI in the first year, and successively
stepping up to Class XII.
Our scholars are drawn from a range of backgrounds - educational,
cultural and religious - from the length and breath of the country, and a
small number even from other parts of the world. At Sanskriti..... the
school, diversity is our strength. All have mutual respect and develop
independence by learning through experiences including learning through
occasional errors and even defeat - resulting in young people surpassing
themselves.
The school is affiliated to one of the most prestigious International Board IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) Cambridge, U.K., offering A-level exams in the curriculum framework. We are now one of the two full-fledged CIE Centres in Rajasthan and the only one, which is a Co-educational centre with the mandate to accept students from other schools as well. As a next step to International Education, we will be looking at the affiliation to the International Baccalaureate Organization, Geneva for IB Diploma Programme.
The Lower School includes a pre-school programme (L1) and kindergarten (L2, L3). Entry to the youngest Level of the Lower School is at 2˝ years. Each Sub-Level (Section) in the Lower School has two Mentors (Class Teachers) assisted by a number of specialist staff who teach Games, Music, Art, Crafts and Physical Education.... enjoying the freedom of childhood...
The curriculum of Lower School is designed to make each child central to all learning experiences. The deliberate Scholar - Mentor ratio of 25:1 in each sub level allows each Scholar to be known individually to the Mentors.

The Middle School Scholar faces new challenges and must adopt new technique of study and learn on their own. They are encouraged to delve into their areas of interest so that they develop their skills of enquiry, collaboration , reflection, evaluation and problem solving and to apply these skills to the global issues being studied.

With our small class strength and close
knowledge of each scholar, help is always close by. For boys and girls
(Junior 3 up) identified as having specific difficulties, in English,
Hindi, Mathematics, etc. remedial lessons are conducted one-to-one by the
Subject Mentors (subject teachers) albeit at the expense of activities
and/or games. Parents are always consulted in this situation.
