OurPhilosophy

At Akshara, the child is at the centre of the teaching-learning process. We believe that each child is unique, possesses certain abilities and has particular needs. Our goal is to enable holistic growth of the child – social, emotional, physical and intellectual – and transform him / her into a well-developed individual.

Pre-Primary Curriculum

Early Childhood Education research shows that major development of a child’s brain happens in the first five years and hence our pre-primary curriculum is designed to expose and stimulate the child in multiple cognitive areas.
Our carefully designed competency and skill based program me, provides a wide range of experiences and materials to foster and enhance physical, motor, social, emotional, aesthetic and intellectual development. Our small class size allows ample time and opportunity for one on one contact with the teacher for personalized attention and customized learning.
The focus of the curriculum is on development of multiple skills which is achieved through age appropriate monthly themes (projects).

  • Physical Development includes fine motor and gross motor development.
  • Creative/Aesthetic Development includes Visual Arts and Performing Arts (Music, Drama & Role play )
  • Cognitive And Perceptual Development: focuses on developing Language, Literacy skills and Numeracy Skills
  • Social And Emotional Development: is achieved through group play, sharing and inter-personal communication

The House system makes the conduct of these activites very exciting and competitive. Our parents participate as judges and have always appreciated the high quality of the student performances be it dance, song or debates.

CCA In charge

As a pre- primary teacher, my focus is to help each child blossom by building his self-confidence along with social, emotional and physical development, not just through core education, but also through skill development.

We focus on overall development of each child taking his individual capabilities and growth level into consideration. We introduce him to a learning activity only when we feel he is ready for it and give him space to grow. We believe in making learning fun for each child.

Economic teaching in Akshara is based on the 4  guiding principles of Knowledge,  Comprehension, Application and  Analysis  to ensure success in their learning. We offer Economics to both the students of Commerce and Humanities. Economics classes are enlivened with discussion on economic policies, reading of the economic times and open discussions and debates.

The‘ Going beyond the curriculum’ approach is making our  students nurture their talents, hone their skills and excel at understanding the world of economics in a different light, which is a wonderful experience to watch from the sidelines.

I am  a proud faculty member of Akshara International School,who endeavours to make vibrant classrooms for my students pursuing Commerce in the  senior secondary.

The classes in Akshara go beyond teaching  Commerce and Accountancy as  elective subjects, but make each student realise the value of every single object, how it got materialized and monetized in this market world and in  turn  help them  become responsible consumers.

I earnestly ensure  that  students are the main participants in class, the ones who discover the knowledge, while the teacher channelizes  their efforts in the right direction. My intention  lies in making  empowered students ,who are confident to understand the market world , express an opinion in a considerate manner substantiated with facts.

My passion towards Commerce helps me become an effective teacher amidst the enthusiastic students.I use simple and easy methods to make Business studies and Accountancy  interesting and comprehensible.

Our hope lies in making students  develop a keen interest in Commerce so that they can see the world in new dimension……

Akshara is special and unique as it acknowledges the contribution of its teachers, supports them in their growth, motivates them to scale newer heights, but most importantly, respects and treasures them as part of an extended family. I joined Akshara as a passionate Chemistry teacher in 2013 and the institute gave me numerous opportunities to show case my talents and accept new challenges with greater competence and vigour. Akshara is a student’s haven’, where the Management and the teachers collaborate for the greater good of the school and the students. A student who joins Akshara may be Helium, an inert element, but will get metamorphosed into Caesium, the most reactive element – willing to take initiatives and endeavouring to accomplish them to perfection.
