NEP and NCF-Aligned Curriculum Framework

Our curriculum adheres to the principles outlined in the NEP 2020, emphasizing flexibility, creativity, and the development of life skills. By aligning with the National Curriculum Framework (NCF), we aim to create an environment where learning is meaningful, engaging, and comprehensive. Our primary objective is to develop students’ intellectual, emotional, and social skills by delivering lessons that are designed to stimulate curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.

Holistic Development for Every Student

Presidency School Bangalore South focuses on the holistic development of each child, the central tenet of NEP 2020. Beyond academic excellence, our curriculum promotes the development of life skills, values, emotional intelligence, and physical fitness. Co-curricular activities such as sports, music, dance, arts, and debate are integral components of our curriculum, designed to stimulate the intellectual, emotional, and physical aspects of a child’s growth. This integrated approach ensures that students thrive in all dimensions of life—academically, socially, and personally.

Innovative Pedagogy: A Student-Centered Approach

In alignment with the NEP’s focus on competency-based learning, our teaching methods are dynamic, interactive, and learner-centric. We employ a variety of innovative pedagogical strategies such as:

• Project-based Learning: Encouraging students to engage in real-world problems, fostering creativity and critical thinking.
• Inquiry-Based Learning: Promoting curiosity and independent thinking through exploration and hands-on experiences.
• Collaborative Learning: Emphasizing teamwork and communication skills through group discussions and collaborative projects.
• Technology Integration: Utilizing digital tools, interactive whiteboards, and online learning platforms to enhance the learning experience and keep students engaged in a tech-driven world.

Preparation for Competitive Exams and Future Success

As a forward-thinking institution, we provide dedicated programmes that help students prepare for national-level competitive exams such as NEET, JEE, and Olympiads. With specialized coaching, practice sessions, and expert guidance, we ensure that our students are well-equipped to excel in these exams while balancing academic rigour with personal growth.

Value Education and Life Skills

Instilling strong moral values is central to our pedagogy. Through a structured approach, we emphasize integrity, respect, responsibility, and social awareness. These values are reinforced in everyday school life through mentoring, discussions, and specially designed programs, helping students develop a sense of responsibility towards themselves and the society around them.

Subject-Specific Pedagogy for In-Depth Learning

Our curriculum emphasizes conceptual understanding and real-world applications across subjects, in alignment with the NCF’s recommendations for subject-specific pedagogy:

• Language Skills: Our focus on developing language proficiency includes activities that enhance reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills, enabling students to communicate confidently and effectively.
• Mathematics: Students are taught to understand mathematical concepts deeply and apply them to solve real-life problems, fostering logical reasoning and critical thinking.
• Science: Through hands-on experiments, inquiry-based learning, and collaborative projects, we inspire scientific curiosity and foster a deep understanding of the natural world.
• Social Studies: We encourage students to critically analyze history, geography, civics, and economics, promoting a deeper understanding of societal issues and their role as informed global citizens.

Integration of NEP’s Focus on 21st-Century Skills

The NEP emphasizes the development of 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication. At Presidency School, we integrate these skills into our pedagogy by encouraging independent thinking, problem-solving, and innovation. Our students are trained not just to learn, but to apply knowledge in creative ways, helping them develop into well-rounded, forward-thinking individuals ready for the challenges of the modern world.
