Classes I to XII

Conforming to CBSE’s curriculum which focuses on Art Integrated Learning and Skill-based assessments, we at Geethaanjali devise and adopt student-centric learning tools that focus on developing the skills, abilities and competencies of children at each stage of their school education and adequately prepare them for the future.

We focus on developing new skills in the Primary level (Classes I – V) and Middle level (Classes VI – VIII) which include:

• Languages: English is the first language, with Tamil and Hindi being optional second and third languages

• Reading, Writing & Speaking: Students are encouraged to take initiative to complete reading assignments, writing tasks and specially designed speaking assignments

• Critical thinking and problem solving: Mental mathematics, science meets/exhibitions

• Environmental and social awareness: From an early age children are encouraged to care for the environment and understand their responsibilities within a society.

• Communication and technology: Students are introduced to a variety of hands-on exercises to use software and languages Photoshop, MS office, HTML, Python, Raspberry Pi and so on. This encourages participation in national and international hackathons.

• Engage in healthy competition: Through literary activities like Spelling bee, Elocution, Seminars, Extempore, JAM, etc.

The above-mentioned skills prepare kids to take on the more intensive programmes in the Secondary (Classes IX – X) and Senior Secondary (Classes XI and XII) levels. At the secondary and senior secondary levels, students undergo rigorous training in Mathematics, Science and Commerce (included at the senior secondary level). In addition, the curriculum is designed to ensure students from Middle school (VI and above) are well prepared in Science and Mathematics, thus their choice of appearing for entrance exams like IIT/JEE/NEET does not put an undue burden on the child. At these higher classes, we also sharpen and further develop skills such as:

• Reading: Inculcating a habit of continuous learning and reading which will hopefully continue in the child’s future

• Critical thinking and problem solving: Students at this level are encouraged to participate in various science competitions to work as a group and tackle difficult problems of the adult world

• Environmental and social responsibilities: Even during the Secondary and Sr. Secondary classes students are required to participate in activities related to environmental and social improvement.

• Communication and technology: Students are guided to master a variety of software and computer languages like Photoshop, MS office, HTML, Python, Raspberry Pi and so on. This encourages participation in national and international hackathons.

• Community and social involvement: Opportunities are raised for students to actively participate in and in many cases lead in community initiatives organized by the school. Here students will directly apply their academic knowledge to tackle real world social problems
