pre-primary SCHOOL programme

The period from birth to the entry to primary education is a critical formative stage for the growth and development of children. The learning outcomes - knowledge, skills and values - of primary education are stronger when appropriate learning and development occur in the years preceding regular schooling.

The following are some of the ways children may receive stimulation for learning and development.

Play with stimulating objects and physical games
Practice and participation in play activities
Verbal interaction, especially dialogue
Getting instruction from others
Learning by reading and by being read to or told stories
Watching and listening to people and events
Having social interaction with others
Getting involved in imaginary play and drawing
Stimulating all the sense organs through different mean
Involving emotions in the activities undertaken
Free drawing,? Being acquainted with nature in various ways
Matching, sorting and comparing things using colour, shape, size and function

PRE-PRIMARY STAGE: ( Nursery, Junior Kinder Garten, Senior Kinder Garten)

There are four developmental objectives in the curriculum framework for early childhood development, namely “Physical Development”, “Cognitive and Language Development”, “Affective and Social Development” and “Aesthetic Development”. Special emphases is placed in developing student’s basic skills, building up basic concepts and helping the development of positive values and attitudes. Indeed, all kinds of learning include the three key elements, namely “knowledge”, “skills” and “attitudes”, so as to nurture a balanced development of children in ethical, intellectual, physical, social and aesthetic aspects. By these means, children will be well prepared for life and life-long learning.

Keeping this in mind the Mount Litera School has developed a balanced programme and a time – table that gives enough time and opportunity for physical and mental development.

MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAMME

In Classes V-VII, students build on the foundations laid in the primary school. New challenges are met as communication, reasoning, problem - solving and value judgment become far more complex;

Our aim is to provide a broad-based curriculum which facilitates in-depth study of the key elements of English, Hindi, Marathi, Mathematics, Science, History, Geography, Art, Computer Studies, Music, Physical Education and Life Skills.
A detailed curricular framework is formulated which ensures progression and continuity through the school.
The Arts are a fundamental means of expression and communication in all societies, and hence to give children access to the cultural diversity and traditions that constitute artistic heritage, the School continues to provide a comprehensive Arts programme. Thus, the middle school children participate in Music, Art, Dance, Yoga, Drama and other activities during their regular class time as well as co-curricular activities; they also take part in core activity programmes (sporting and non-sporting), which are conducted during or after school hours.
The educational philosophy of the school encourages children to get a wide range of first-hand experiences. Much of our work is focused on the environment and therefore school trips are a vital part of the curriculum.
The evaluation system in the middle school is such that each child feels that he or she has made progress and shown positive achievement and success. There are continuous class evaluations for child’s performance in class, and students' performance and grades are monitored and reviewed throughout the year to facilitate their continued progress.
