CURRICULUM

Main goal
To create life entrepreneurs through holistic education and lifelong learning

The Unique and Innovative role of Teachers

Every institution has its cornerstones, and at IELCK, it is our teachers and their infinite contributions that have unlocked potential, established goals, and offered support. They consequently evolved into Teacher Advisors and promoted socio-emotional health and personalised learning. The emphasis is on the unique educational philosophy, “Teach the child and not the subject alone.”

The IELC curriculum is organized into five areas of learning

Language Development

Preschool education concentrates on the basics of oral communication, speaking and listening, reading and comprehending simple texts and encouraging writing skills. This area of learning helps children stay ahead of the curve by giving them the motivation to start writing and reading with enthusiasm

Numeracy

This area helps children develop their skills in logical operations, like counting, sorting, matching, creating patterns, problem-solving and working with shapes and measures. We help them build a strong mathematical foundation through practical tasks, stories, songs, games and imaginative play. We also help children understand how mathematics can be applied in real life, during their pre-school education

Science and Social Studies

Children are inquisitive from birth. Every day, they are exposed to a whole range of sights and sounds, which stimulate their curiosity. At Indus pre-school learning center, we help them develop age appropriate knowledge, skills and understanding to make sense of the world around them, and learn from life itself

Personal, Social and Physical Education

To become true leaders, children learn to strive for success through the all-round development of their personal, social, emotional and physical selves. This provides them with excellent opportunities to succeed in all areas of learning

Creative Arts

Exploring and Learning the arts helps children experience a unique integration of the body and mind. We encourage children to indulge in and appreciate different forms of creative expressions like art, music, dance and role play, which makes IELC one among the top pre-primary Schools in Bangalore.

Age Criteria

The age criteria for Indus Early Learning Centre is determined through scientific research and detailed discussions between people who understand child psychology and growth patterns.
This ensures that the children are not over-burdened and are free to excel as per their capacity

Programmes

The aim of the IELC curriculum is to provide a transdisciplinary curriculum which is engaging, exciting, challenging and relevant to the children who fall into the age bracket of one to six years. It focuses on the whole growth of the developing child, touching hearts as well as minds and encompassing social, physical, emotional, cognitive and cultural needs in addition to academic development. At IELC, our IB inspired curriculum or programme prepares children to become active, caring, lifelong learners who demonstrate respect for themselves and others and have the capacity to participate in life and the world around them. It focuses on the development of the whole child as an inquirer, both within and beyond the classroom.

 

GRADE: PRE-NURSERY


The Pre-Nursery Programme is designed to nurture young children, while providing the physical, emotional, and intellectual stimulus to help them optimize their potential for learning and growth. Our programme caters to students from ages 1 years to 2 years. Play based learning: Children learn best when they are experimenting and using their imagination, creativity and tactile senses to experience the world. We use the play-based approach, to ensure children learn even complex concepts, easily.

We guide the child on the road to discovery and inquiry, through our research- based standards and assessments along six developmental domains imparted through the play-based learning pedagogy. Our programme involves deep engagements that cater to sensorial awareness and literacy development through Story Time, Water Play, Sand Play, Library Time, Celebration of festivals and special days, Field Trips, Puppet shows and skits.

 

GRADE: NURSERY


In Nursery Programme, a broad-based curriculum integrates a genuine love for learning through stories and language and expression, along with a focus on numerical concepts and exploration of the world around them. This thorough foundation is underpinned by a strong commitment to the social, emotional and cultural awareness of each child and realized through a creative and interdisciplinary approach to teaching and learning. Arts, sports, music and dance are seamlessly incorporated into the curriculum, affording multi-sensorial and comprehensive learning opportunities.

The primary focus is to help children gain independence socially, physically and emotionally whilst giving them opportunities to develop their linguistic, mathematical, creative and cognitive skills and helping them explore the world around them and orient themselves with the environment. We follow an inquiry-based approach that facilitates children’s curiosity and experiential form of learning, that goes beyond academics, catering to students’ signature strengths.

GRADE: RECEPTION


Our Reception programme caters to students from ages 3 years to 4 years. The curriculum encourages children to ask questions, plan investigations, explore various outcomes, and reach credible and logical conclusions, with teachers as facilitators. The curriculum is a balanced blend of five essential aspects: concepts, knowledge, skills, attitudes and action.

Language Development in our Reception is encouraged through active engagement with the three strands of language- oral language, visual language and written language. Logical thinking and numeracy skills are developed through an application-based approach through five strands, namely, Number System, Data Handling, Measurement, Pattern & Function and Shape & Space. Social and emotional growth is nurtured through our unique leadership curriculum that balances development of the Intelligence and emotional quotient. The innate creativity and curiosity of students is further nurtured through our music and movement programme and creative arts curriculum.

 

GRADE: PREP ONE


In Prep One, we construct an environment and pedagogy that is secure and enriched, where students are encouraged to become lifelong learners, both inside and outside the classroom. With a strong focus on conceptual learning and development of leadership skills, children engage in a transdisciplinary curriculum that meets international benchmarks for Literacy, Numeracy, Science, Social Studies and PSPE (Personal, Social and Physical Education).

Emphasis is placed on the acquisition of communication and thinking skills through a culture that encourages learner agency. The leadership curriculum at Indus plays a pivotal role in progressing toward our aim of unlocking the individual child’s potential. Leadership is developed by encouraging self-awareness, thereby enabling students to discover their complete range of multiple and emotional intelligences. Sports, community involvement, fine & performing arts and robust outdoor activities lend themselves to the fostering of leadership qualities. The focus is on connecting to self, connecting to nature and connecting to the community.

GRADE: PREP TWO


We offer the Prep 2 Programme for children aged 5 to 6 years of age. The core skills we help students to imbibe and strengthen are critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity. The Prep Two environment is warm and inspiring, filled with wonderful learning materials. We believe in following the child and helping them in attaining their potential capabilities. We endeavor to create a strong community where every child’s developmental needs are met and they truly experience the joy of learning.

Prep Two has a distinct curriculum that is designed to challenge and nurture a child’s multiple intelligences and diverse aptitudes and talents, to help them unlock their hidden potential. Learnings in the early year’s program have core language development, units of enquiry with science and social studies as the foundation, second language exposure to Hindi and Spanish, dedicated reading programs that are levelled according to a child’s abilities, Math, Music and Keyboard, Physical Education, Yoga, Coding & SEN/ESL (Special education needs & English as Second Language).

SPECIAL EDUCATION NEEDS (SEN)

Indus Early Learning Centre, Koramangala prides itself on being an inclusive School. We strive to cater to the diverse needs of students by ensuring that each student gets equitable access to the learning curriculum.

We have a resource room where children with special educational needs (enrolled in the regular mainstream class) gather for special instruction. Trained educators are available to help them during this short period, away from their regular classes. The sole need of having a resource room is to cater to the multiple intelligences of the students. This is done by ascertaining their learning styles, restoring and building their self-esteem and working on their strengths and potential to make them confident and self-reliant.

Specially created worksheets, flashcards, educational games, graded readers and teaching aid, suited to various learning difficulties, are used to promote academic development. Students with special needs are supported primarily through remediation, accommodation and with certain exemptions especially during learning reviews, depending on the severity of the learning difficulty.

As a feeder School for one of the best IB Schools in the country, the SEN team is dedicated to bringing out the best in each child. The SEN team goes by the motto – “All children can learn”.

ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE (ESL)

Our School is a place where we value the importance of effective communication within and beyond the classroom. Effective communication defines how we think and learn and is a means to achieve a healthy global and local perspective.

Our ESL teachers are all language teachers. Together, they help our students become confident in their English skills, which is the common language used in the school. They appreciate that students learn in different ways and therefore use a wide range of teaching methods.

Students with limited English language receive a combination of ‘pull-out’ and ‘push-in’ learning support, depending on their level of proficiency.
