CURRICULUM
“Teaching is not just transferring knowledge” – Paulo Freire
At Brainz Edu World, the curriculum signifies not the amount of information that is put into the brain, but is “life-building and character-building”, aiming at assimilating fine ideas. The objectives of the educational programmes here are to nurture and inspire young minds to be globally aware and responsible citizens, to enlarge their mental horizon and broaden their outlook, to inculcate good habits, social manners and etiquette in them. Further, to make total learning experience interesting as well as healthy, physical education, play and mental well-being are an integral part of the school’s curriculum.
Brainz Edu World focuses on creating a healthy, harmonious and happy environment for the children. The system neither imposes upon the child nor does it abandon the child in total free play. The school creates a balanced and supportive environment for the child where he is free but not undisciplined or uncontrolled, where he is under supervision and check, but not suffocated. Every part of the Brainz life is a valuable arena of learning and a sense of balance permeates every aspect of life here. A visitor to the school will observe a spirit of friendliness and a feeling of belonging in a dynamic and supportive environment at the school, as all possible efforts are made by the school to establish a happy, secure, well ordered and an inspiring environment for the children and all other members of the Brainz family to work within.
Developing 21st century skills – collaboration, creativity, and communication – form an integral part of the school’s curriculum. Brainz focuses on integrating meaningful enrichment activities in every subject which range from teaching students story telling like Roald Dahl through a ‘BBC Teach’ workshop to inculcating Microsoft Education resources such as Skype in the Classroom and Flipgrid to develop global perspectives in students and direct their technological resourcefulness in the right direction.
Brainz has always strived to develop a keen sense of socio-environmental consciousness in students and follows an adaptive curriculum plan that responds to the happenings in the world. This means that students are able to take part in activities such as – Nat Geo based workshop on Amazon rainforests, school-wide experiential learning hands-on Earth Day activities such as composting and ocean plastic management, reach the state level of the WWF Wild Wisdom Quiz and develop solar ambassadors with a Global Solar Energy workshop. The aim is to not just sensitise students but also develop an active problem solving mindset in them.
Value-based education forms the essence of learning at Brainz and students are taught to develop empathy. This is not done just through a moral values course, rather it is taught through real life scenarios and examples. Gender equality, impact of bullying and dealing with peer pressure are just some of the topics that are regularly woven into educators’ lesson plans. The school’s ‘show, don’t tell’ approach means that our educators exhibit these values in their interactions with the students and each other as well to enable students to learn by seeing. The school’s focus on developing empathetic global citizens is clear from the fact that our student leaders are selected not on the basis of their academic and co-curricular achievements but on the basis of their behaviour and interaction with all members of the school.
The school follows the NEP guidelines for grades classification. Our K-12 school is divided into: Foundation school (1-2), Preparatory School (3-5), Middle School (6-8), Secondary School (9-10), and Senior Secondary School (11-12) .
