A Holistic Foundation For Lifelong Learning

At Auckland House School for Boys, we recognize that the early years of a child’s education are pivotal in establishing a strong foundation for lifelong learning and development. Our Lower Primary program, designed for children aged 3 to 6, aligns with the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) curriculum. This approach ensures a balanced, inclusive, and engaging learning experience that nurtures the child in every aspect.

Key Features of our Lower Primary Department

1. Play-Based and Experiential Learning
We employ an age-appropriate, play-based, and student-centered approach that encourages active participation in the learning journey. This experiential method fosters curiosity, exploration, and creativity, ensuring that learning is both meaningful and enjoyable.

2. Holistic Curriculum
Our curriculum is meticulously designed to support:
• Physical development
• Cognitive development
• Language and communication skills
• Social and emotional growth

3. Core Areas of Focus
• Communication and Literacy – We emphasize reading, writing, speaking, and listening through engaging activities that help children develop strong language skills and a love for literature.
• Mathematics – Through games, activities, and real-life scenarios, children explore fundamental mathematical concepts and enhance their problem-solving abilities.
• Creative Expression – Drama, music, dance, and art provide children with opportunities to express themselves creatively while enhancing cognitive and motor skills.
• Physical Development – Regular physical activities promote coordination, strength, and instill a lifelong positive attitude toward health and fitness.
• Understanding the World – Lessons nurture curiosity about the environment, science, and cultural diversity, laying the foundation for global awareness.

4. Multilingual Approach with Emphasis on English as the Primary Language
Recognizing the diverse linguistic backgrounds of our students, we encourage multilingual learning to create an inclusive and supportive environment. At the same time, we emphasize English as the primary language to prepare students for a globalized world.

5. Integrated Assessments
Our assessments are developmental and child-friendly, focusing on monitoring progress rather than rote learning. Parents receive regular feedback, ensuring their active involvement in their child’s growth and development.

6. A Strong Foundation for Transition
The program is designed to ensure a smooth transition into formal schooling, enabling children to build on their early learning experiences with confidence and enthusiasm.

Parental Involvement
We believe that parents are essential partners in a child’s education. Regular interactions, workshops, and collaborative projects ensure open communication between the school and parents, creating a supportive learning environment for every child.
