Curriculum

As an ICSE affiliated school, we follow the curriculum developed by the council right from the preschool stage. Elementary education is the basis for the child’s future and determines his/ her success in life. At Cambridge High School and S.L.M. Skylark Pre-School, we believe that children must receive a thorough grounding of whatever concepts they learn and that this learning has to be integrated with life.

The School has always stood for and promoted the principle of a high academic level of excellence right from the inception to the present. The high academic levels maintained right from the lower classes until the students leave the school, have enabled them to face the challenges of the outside world confidently and completely.

No expense is spared towards the development in the advanced fields of Science and Technology, Mathematics, Humanities, Information Technology, Computers and Art, among others. This has helped transform our students into knowledgeable and well informed youngsters ready and eager to take the challenges head on!

Our methodology of teaching is best explained through the four stages of schooling your child goes through.

Pre-Primary

P.G. To K.G.

Pre-Primary is the foundation stage of the learning process and at S.L.M Skylark we have laid a strong foundation to support the holistic growth of the child during the learning years. The Curriculum in Pre-Primary has been designed to attain the learning objectives of developing cognitive, emotional, social and motor skills. Children learn to sort, compare, assimilate, observe and infer.
The curriculum addresses the uniqueness of each child and provides exposure beyond the academics. Mime, dance, music and field trips; sports and a range of hobby interests add new dimensions to the growth of the child.

Primary School

Grade I To IV

The curriculum for Std. I to IV aims at developing children’s personal, social and emotional well-being; promotes positive attitudes and disposition towards their learning; provides opportunities to develop social skills as well as developing language and communication, Reading and Writing, Math, Science, knowledge and understanding of the world; and physical and creative development.
The curriculum encourages children to explore their interests, as they move gradually from the familiar to the unknown. There is great scope for creativity, self-expression and social skills of adaptability and team work.

Middle School

Grade V To VII

The Middle School challenges learners with a broader curriculum, to lay the foundation for the High School Academic program. At this stage, study skills are honed, and concepts taught are thoroughly grounded, while group work and interaction with classmates cater to growing social awareness.
In grades V, VI and VII, we start gearing for the ICSE curriculum. The School maintains high standards in all aspects of education. Although academics will be given top priority in the curriculum, the development of the child will not be neglected. Through the house system, healthy competition is encouraged in a variety of activities held on an on-going basis throughout the year.

Senior School

Grade VIII To XI

The Secondary Grades are a veritable bee hive of activity. We believe that every student has the potential to rise up to challenges, and hence high demands are placed on the students, with a view to stimulate high achievement. Each learner receives personal attention and guidance.
The work & progress of our students is monitored through class work, home work, projects, mid-term test & examinations. The students of Std. VIII, IX and X are prepared for the ICSE Examinations. However, we don’t lose sight of the importance of extracurricular activities that form an integral part of the curriculum. The academic curriculum is supported by debates, speech and drama, sports, music and business development skills.
