Early Years Program

Early Years Program (Age 2+ – 4+)
Prep-2.3 years onwards, KGI-3.3 years, KGII – 4.3 years

We have evolved a comprehensive program for our young children, which will give them the opportunity to explore experiment and enlighten their minds. It is these young people that need to be given the environment which is well-equipped for them to initiate meaningful learning. Security with love is the basis of our early year program. Our Teachers make sure that every ‘child’ who comes in is important and is given appropriate space to bond before the learning commences…..

Language Arts:

• Reading : “I Love to Read”. We make sure that the motivation given by the professionals is well projected for the children to ‘want’ to read. Picture stories are the first step towards opening doors to the “world of imagination”. A variety of reading games pupputeering and act out sessions are carried out at every level to bring out the best of language skills in every child. Children who have been instilled with the habit of reading at a young age will make it a priority to choose books over T.V, and other electronic games.

• Writing : Like reading, writing is an integral part of the entire primary school curriculum; it is taught as a subject in itself and as a tool for thinking critically in other subjects. Students are encouraged to approach writing as a process with definable stages and techniques. They learn that the process of writing has intrinsic value as a means of generating, developing, and refining their thoughts. The goal of writing instruction at World Academy is to develop not only skilled, expressive writers, but also thinkers who use their writing skills to enhance learning. Writing experiences permeate the primary classroom, and their frequency makes writing a natural and comfortable activity for most children.

Mathematics :

The Mathematics curriculum helps students become problem solvers and builds a foundation for more advanced Math courses. The typical classroom is set up to encourage interest and exploration of mathematical concepts and problems using a variety of problem-solving strategies. Our students are learning above level math concepts with extra assistance provided for students as needed. Elements of literacy are woven into the introduction of each new Math concept in grades Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade.

Science:
The Science curriculum provides a flexible program that covers a range of topics and concepts, provides a basic understanding of scientific methods, supports the classroom teachers’ interests and enthusiasms, and connects with other studies such as Math or Social studies going on in the classroom.

Based on the age of the students, and other curricular choices, the classroom teacher selects for the coming school year a variety of units of study in the physical and biological sciences. An early primary class might study life cycles, birds, trees, the human body, light, air, motion, or liquids, Atomic structures for example. Books, materials, and equipment pertaining to each unit would be made available in the classroom.
