Preparatory Stage
(Grades 3-5)
The PREPARATORYSTAGE is a bridge between the foundational and middle stages. During this phase, we focus on promoting intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, and academic competence. As per NEP 2020 we emphasize on competency-based learning, which ensures that students acquire a deep understanding of subjects rather than just rote memorization. Teachers encourage critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration to promote a more holistic development of the child.
Besides academic learning, extracurricular activities are also encouraged to nurture students’ diverse talents and interests. We also emphasize the importance of character development, instilling values such as respect, empathy, and integrity.
