Chalk Tree Global School Gurgaon

Curriculum

Our content and practice rich curriculum is a result of hundreds of hours of research and an amalgamation of best practices from all over the world that have been contextualized to our environment and with the aim to foster the child’s natural capacities at each developmental stage.

Our team of highly skilled, passionate and innovative individuals cultivates a secure learning environment that motivates the learners to discover their potential and enhance their skills in the field of academics, sports, art, culture, and moral values, social & environmental responsibilities.

The curriculum at Chalk Tree hinges on 3 guiding principles:

1) Children are curious and enquiring by nature

2) All children learn differently

3) A Teacher is more than to teach the subject

CHILDREN ARE CURIOUS AND ENQUIRING BY NATURE

It is important for us to cater to a child’s basic human nature and foster inquisitiveness because our lives are not essentially governed by our needs and wants but by the innate sincerity of trying to figure and fathom things around us – nature, our own lives, our society and such.

We develop on curiosity to stimulate intellectual development, self-reliance, and decision-making skills rather than checking the boxes of mindless memorizing of information.

Our inquiry- based approach allows us to curate enriched environment for inquiry, discovery, and experiences sharing and gathering. Children engage in building new concepts through hands-on, meaningful play experiences characterized by novel challenges, opportunities for self-direction, engaging all senses through observation, talking and group work.

A teacher’s role on this journey of self-discovery is that of a facilitator who helps the childrento form the concepts on their own by collecting answers and connecting the acquired knowledge.

ALL CHILDERN LEARN DIFFERENTLY

Howard Gardner’s multiple intelligence theory is that people have their own strengths and can demonstrate their knowledge and abilities in different ways. Our Child Centred Innovative Approach is basis this deep understanding that every child has different interests, abilities and learning styles. We prepare and present teaching material in multiple formats in order to engage every child so that they all learn in the way that best suits their learning style. A visual learner, for example, would benefit from our literary-rich environment of word banks, writing frames and such.

Moreover, hands-on activities, group projects, and discussions make the learning more fun and meaningful and equip the children with the self-assurance of their capabilities.

“The good teacher knows that the best learning environment is always student-centered, never teacher-centered.” -Yvone Enoch and James Lyke

A TEACHER IS MORE THAN TO TEACH THE SUBJECT

“The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds for the purpose of satisfying it afterward.” —Anatole France

The teacher’s role is to assist her students in what they are doing. Children are given the opportunity to explore a problem, try out solutions, build on this new knowledge to make adjustments and evolve new solutions. This is what will make the learners and doers of the 21st century and these are the kids who will thrive in this evolving world rather than struggle to survive.

A teacher is more than a teacher of the subject or the task at hand. He/she consciously works to develop social skills and emotional intelligence. If a child faces difficulty and needs help in any particular subject, our teachers go an extra mile in taking care of them individually whether it is during schools hours or after schools hours/holidays with an understanding with the parents.

The teacher is not a sage preaching to the children from the stage but a friend, guide, and mentor to the children. We recruit well- qualified teachers making no compromise in only getting the best to inspire the students. But then we also ensure that we aid their development consistently by providing yearlong training not just in their subject area but also teaching strategies, new technological methodologies like ‘Smart Board technology’ and human development side to be competent to nurture and develop children in all aspects.

Grade 1 to V

“Play is the only way the highest intelligence of humankind can unfold.” -Joseph Pearce

In early childhood especially, the role of play is extremely important. The curriculum for Pre-Primary School, therefore, is play-based and child justified in a way that caters to a child’s multiple intelligence and encouraging creative thinking. A day at the Pre-Primary would involve much free play and structured sensorial learning to develop communication skills, basic mathematical and scientific competencies.

We follow a multi-modality learning curriculum that will train the children to reach desired levels of understanding by using their various faculties and intelligence. Students are expected to be independent thinkers, develop critical reading, writing and analysis skills, learn to understand the value of research across all areas of the curriculum and be self – motivated and self-driven through a genuine love of the subject.

Grade 1 to VIII

At the Primary level from Grade 1 to V, the basic skills in all subjects would be further enhanced and higher level skills would be introduced to challenge students and stimulate their interest. The students would experience the joy of learning, gain a deep understanding of important concepts, develop research and experimental skills and learn to accept personal responsibility for actions, decisions, and outcomes.

We would be further enhancing these skills as the child progresses to the Middle and Senior school level.
