Academics Curriculum

Pre-primary education is considered to be very important for the child as it is the first step towards entering the world of knowledge as well as a healthy and purposeful life. Pre-primary education helps children become more independent and confident as well as promote the all-round development of the children. To ensure the quality of preschool education it is important to provide well qualified and trained teachers for preprimary schools. Facilities and Amenities are important and must provide safe, healthy and suitable environment for young children.

Pre-school in GCS is divided into two stages- junior kindergarten (Jr. KG) and senior kindergarten (Sr. KG). The Jr. KG class would comprise of children three to four years of age, and Sr. KG class would comprise of children aged four to five years.

We, at GCS understand the importance of primary education and aim at imparting quality education to the students.

How Primary Education Helps:

The ability of reading, writing, and arithmetic is trained, inculcated and developed in the child in primary education. This is considered as the foundation for all of the intellectual developments in future.
Handwork or/and craftwork usually find a place in the curriculum with a view to helping develop manual deftness and effectual use of one’s hands. Artful or cultural activities like music and dance, drawing and painting are introduced to children in primary school with a view to giving creative shape to their imagination.
Moral education is introduced as a vital part of the curriculum in order to help mold and develop moral sentiment and positive outlook in the early personality of the primary school-going child.

Study of the natural environment, its biological and physical world is introduced in primary education in order to whet and satisfy natural curiosity of the child.
Elementary knowledge of health and hygiene is treated as an essential pre-requisite in primary education for keeping the child’s physical health in the utmost condition.
Group play and group activities make up a large percentage of play-time and are encouraged with a view to develop social adjustment skills and social participation skills of the child.

GCS philosophy and ideology has direct effect in curriculum planning because it guides us in the selection of the objectives. Our objective helps in intellectual development rather than practical value. It teaches student how to reason, develops mental ability to solve the problems in practical life situations. It helps in using different methods for search of eternal truth and how to analyze the knowledge and methods of inquiry.

GCS secondary curriculum is designed for developing maximum potentialities of the students by including variety of learning activities to educate each student to its highest. This is a stage where students need skills and for that purpose subject matter must be included in the curriculum to help them in acquiring these skills like experimentation and the use of laboratory techniques so they advance the knowledge.

Secondary School students need high level of interest and motivation to discover methods. The content of the subject will be interesting and appealing to generate curiosity in the students to find more. In this way the student engage in finding the relationships in the subject matter presented to him, and engage the students in the process of inquiry.

GCS focus on Psychological foundation, every student has its own unique personality and they have differences in their learning and skills. They are different in nature so they can’t be treated alike in teaching learning process, some may be fast learner while other slow. Psychology helps in all the processes above in the development process of the curriculum. Our curriculum includes educational psychology to provide information particularly in four areas:

• Prepare objectives of education
