Apeejay School, Nerul follows a thematic curriculum for Pre-Primary classes, which is at par with the global standards.

• Pedagogy of thematic learning is based on its exploration of broad areas in one theme, a way of teaching and learning, whereby many areas of the curriculum are connected and integrated within a theme.
• The curriculum is organised around a central theme. The various subjects integrated are:

Apeejay has a legacy and our thematic-based curriculum is the strongest in the world. Theme teaching is generally carried out according to a detailed pre-designed lesson plan.

Time Table

The Pre-Primary has a 5-period timetable for 5 days a week.

Value Education

In the rapidly changing world, to strike a balance between the cocooned world of ‘home’ & ‘school’ and the competitive world outside, imbibing values and virtues in young children becomes paramount. To meet these growing demands and to strengthen the value system, the school has included ‘EDUCATION IN HUMAN VALUES’ in the School curriculum. Besides Human and Social values, Patriotism & Internationalism are also inculcated amongst the students through ‘Words of Wisdom’ through various scholastic & co-scholastic activities including morning assembly.

Focused Skills

• The Thematic Curriculum is designed to cater to the individual interests and potential of children and to enhance the social, creative, and cognitive skills and address their emotional quotient through theme-based activities so that the children are happy and engaged at school and learn by doing.
• Besides developing all the four skills – Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing, specialised methodologies are used to train the children to be able to analyse, interpret and evaluate.
• Project works, creative activities, and varied other activities relevant to the theme are planned to provide social understanding, a spirit of enquiry, and scientific acumen.
• To nurture multiple intelligences such as kinesthetic, musical, visual, inter-personal, and intra-personal, we provide ample opportunities for self-expression in the form of music, dance and Fine Arts.
• All the festivals are celebrated with great zeal to give an insight into our varied culture and to develop a sense of respect for our nation.

Teaching Methodology

To suit the changing needs of the present generation, the latest and innovative techniques of teaching are employed. The teacher acts as a ‘knowledge facilitator’ and not as the ‘knowledge provider’. Therefore, the teaching methodology is ‘learner-centered’ nurturing the promotion of Academic Excellence and Multiple-Intelligence.

Teaching-Learning Strategies

In synergic collaboration aiming for excellence, we at Apeejay firmly believe in the extension of learning ground from the home to the school.

In the continuous quest for knowledge, the early stumbling footsteps of a toddler are firmly implanted and extended in refined sophistication. The best Montessori, Kindergarten, play way method, and other such activities as required by social and cultural needs of the society have been adopted and adapted for them.

Evaluation and Assessment System

There is no formal assessment or evaluation system for Pre-Primary. The progress of a child is measured through a continuous and comprehensive system based on the skill sets acquired. The progress of each child in all three domains (Cognitive, Affective, and Psychomotor) is evaluated continuously.
