CurriculumFor Primary Students
Akshara believes that the school curriculum should take care of holistic development (physical, intellectual, logical and spiritual) of its pupils. At the primary level, it offers a broad multidisciplinary and balanced curriculum to enable learning through a structured schooling program. The focus is on:
- Developing strong fundamentals in academics
- Good physical development and team spirit through sports
- Broad intellectual development through performing arts
- Inculcating good moral values rooted in Indian culture along with a commitment to Community Service
The teaching approach is centered around activity-based experiential learning to stimulate the development of multiple intelligences, inherent in each child.
We do this by adopting the modern methods of teaching like use of LCD projectors, Audio-Visual, Story Method, Exploration and Research, Group Discussions (Debate) to make learning effective and an enjoyable experience.
Beyond Academics
Akshara provides a balanced education by supplementing academics with a wide range of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities:
- Co-curricular Activities (CCA) include variety of inter-house competitions like poetry recitation, Singing, storytelling, fancy dress and GK quiz
- Comprehensive Sports program with focus on physical development in the first two primary years through a scientific program provided by an external sports agency followed by exposure to various sports including karate and gymnastics from 3rd grade onwards
- Visual and Performing Arts (VPA) are taught through Music (Guitar, Drum, Synthesizer and Tabla), Dance (Bharatnatyam and Kathak) and Drama sessions
- Workshops and Field Trips are regularly conducted to enhance teaching learning through real life exposure.

Every year the primary session starts in the 1st week of April.

Our school is a safe and secure environment with measures like CCTV, police verification of staff, GPS enabled transport vehicles in place.
