Agastya Primary Years Programme
Class I to V | Building Foundations for Lifelong Learning
At Agastya International School, our Primary Years Programme (Classes I–V) is thoughtfully designed to ensure a smooth and seamless transition from early childhood education to formal schooling. Rooted in both national and international best practices, our curriculum promotes continuity, progression, and holistic development.
This foundational phase emphasizes critical thinking, inquiry, creativity, and core academic skills — helping children grow into confident, compassionate, and capable learners.
📚 A Curriculum That Fosters Curiosity and Competency
Our interdisciplinary curriculum integrates key subjects such as:
Languages (English, Hindi, and an additional third language)
Mathematics
Science
Social Studies
These subjects are taught both individually and in thematic, interconnected ways to deepen understanding and encourage real-world application. Our teaching approach is child-centered and flexible, adapting to diverse learning styles while nurturing cognitive, emotional, and social growth.
🤝 Collaborative and Experiential Learning
At AIS, learning happens through:
Individual, small group, and whole group activities
Hands-on projects, discussions, and presentations
Field trips and real-world explorations
These methods build teamwork, interpersonal skills, and communication, while also sparking curiosity and independent thinking.
🧠 Holistic Development: Body, Mind & Spirit
In addition to academics, the curriculum includes:
PSHE (Personal, Social & Health Education) to build empathy, confidence, and emotional intelligence
Physical education and sports to promote fitness, team spirit, and self-discipline
Arts, dance, drama, yoga, pottery, and both Indian & Western music for creative and emotional expression
Through inter-house and inter-school events, students gain opportunities to showcase their talents and build confidence in competitive and collaborative environments.
🌍 Values-Driven Learning with Community Connection
Our programme goes beyond classroom learning to instill values and social responsibility:
Students participate in community service initiatives, including visits to old age homes, orphanages, and centers for underprivileged children
These experiences build compassion, responsibility, and awareness of global and societal issues
🎯 Active, Joyful Learning Every Day
We believe that learning should be engaging and enjoyable. Techniques such as free play, cooking, storytelling, singing, and dancing are embedded into daily routines to keep students motivated and connected to their learning experiences.
At Agastya International School, the Primary Years Programme lays a strong foundation for academic success, character development, and lifelong learning. We nurture confident, curious, and well-rounded individuals ready to embrace the world with a sense of purpose and empathy.
