Top Elementary Schools Program in Bangalore

Early Years Program
The Early Years program at CIS is designed for children between the ages of 3 to 6. It consists of Pre-Kindergarten (PK), Junior Kindergarten (JK) and Senior Kindergarten (SK). The students learn through inquiry and play using the CGC framework of incorporating conceptual understandings, competency, and character building. The Early Years program addresses not only developmentally appropriate academic milestones of literacy, numeracy, global perspectives and science, but a child’s personal emotional and social growth as well through thematic units. Each unit is transdisciplinary in nature in order to provide meaningful learning experiences. In addition, the Experiential Learning program adds real-life experiences to the units, making learning come to life.

The day in the Early Years program consists of homeroom time where much of the unit learning occurs. Homeroom classes are comprised of a homeroom teacher and a teacher assistant. Specialists' classes are dispersed throughout the week and include Art, Music, PE, ICT and Hindi Culture. These classes are taught by teachers specialised in their respective subject areas. There are snack, lunch, and recess breaks throughout the day allowing for social interactions as well as building on their fine and gross motor skills.
