The
New Horizon Public School (ICSE) consists of
a Pre-primary section which follows an innovative
curriculum that encourages learning through activity,
play and first hand experience. Combining the concepts
of the Montessori method and the play way method,
this system helps the child learn and grow at his
or her own pace. Experimental learning is provided
by regularly organising field trips.
An
activity room enables self-directed learning and allows
the children to be independent of the teacher. The
room is specially designed and equipped to promote
muscular and motor co-ordination of the children.
In addition, students are encouraged to read newspapers
and magazines at school to improve general awareness.
The last working day of each month is the Toy
Corner day. Each child brings a toy from home
thereby inculcating the habit of sharing through playing.
At a higher level, learning takes place through an
interactive approach, discussion, observation and
experimentation. Learning through project work is
another dimension in this process.
Right from the lower level, the teacher makes use
of technology in her day to day teaching like
the overhead projector, video projector, television,
tape-recorder, VCR etc. The child is introduced to
computers in the early years to enable him or her
to develop skills that will prove vital in future.
Computer education is offered to students from Standard
I onwards. |
