As the world around is changing rapidly, there is a great need for us to change the way we teach. Modern Infrastucture and Newer Technologies, along with the ever-evolving demands of the world around us, are shifting the focus from only reading and writting to the development of skills. To prepare our children for life, along with providing knowledge, we have to provide them opportunities to develop skills such as communication, decision making, value, independent thinking, team work, leadership, creativity, research and problem solving. But how do we achieve all of this, If the world around us is dynamic and always in flux? will the standardised curriculums, with little or no flexibility, suit the diversified needs of the learners.
The Integrated Curriculum follwed at St.John Paul Academy CBSE School is a well-structured, accountable and appropriate curriculum that incorparates the best pedagogic practices keeping in mind learning multiple intelligences and styles. This curriculum is based on the belief that the "Child is the Curriculam " and has been designed after much research and development. It is built not on the idea of separate subjects, but on the much more fertile idea of discipline, which makes possible a fluid and dynamic curriculam that is interdisciplinary. It is helping us to create a positive learning environment and the result is happy, empowered, well-adjusted and competent learners who passes the skills to move and make their own world.
Ours is a thematic, integrated and developmentally appropriate learning programme that provides experiental learning and ensures the learners holistic development through a multi-sensory approch, transporting them to a higher level of thinking. we focus on the development of basic skills and higher level thinking, encourage lifelong learning, structure learning around themes, big ideas and meaningful concepts and provide connections amoung various curricular disciplines, along with providing learners opportunities to apply skills they have learned. Our curriculum encourages active participation in relavant real-life experiences. The books and activities captivate, motivate, challenge and scaffold learners along with providing a deeper understanding of content.
We never forget that there are other equally important factors in the successful education of our young learners - the educators and parents. If we are to achieve the goals set in the curriculam, we must ensure that the teaching learning process in the classrooms is efficient and strong. The educators are given not just an effective curriculam, but are also constantly empowered to imbibe and deliver the curriculum to the learners. Through various educators' training programmes and workshops, we arm them with transactional tools and procedural guidelines that help in discovering new and improved ways to deliver learning sessions to innocent minds. Parenting workshops are too conducted regularly by Nature, for the parents to orient them about the latest parenting techniques.
At St.John Paul Academy CBSE School, We believe that each child is a miracle. All we have to do is 'nurturing the creative and curious spirit of the children - stoke the flame and let the fire burn'.
