Nursery to Std 10, one continuous plan.

What is taught at each stage, how children are assessed, and what a school day looks like.

The four stages

Grouped by age, not just by syllabus.

Age 3–6

Pre-primary — Nursery, Jr KG, Sr KG

The year a child learns to like school. Short periods, a lot of movement, and no written homework.

  • Phonics, rhymes, picture reading
  • Counting, shapes, colours
  • Marathi speech and Devanagari letters
  • Drawing, clay, music and free play
Age 6–10

Primary — Std 1 to Std 4

The years that decide whether a child reads for pleasure or reads with effort. Fluency comes first.

  • English reading, writing, handwriting
  • Mathematics with concrete material
  • Marathi and Hindi
  • Environmental studies, art, PT
Age 10–13

Upper primary — Std 5 to Std 7

Subject teachers take over. Children start keeping their own notes and meeting their own deadlines.

  • Science with lab practicals
  • Mathematics, Social Science
  • Three languages
  • Computer basics, projects, debate
Age 13–16

Secondary — Std 8 to Std 10

Board years. Extra practice sessions in school hours, and honest guidance about what comes after Std 10.

  • Full board syllabus, subject-wise
  • Weekly practice papers from Std 9
  • Remedial batches for weak subjects
  • Stream and career counselling

Assessment

Marks are a signal, not a verdict.

Children are checked often and quietly, so that a gap is found in the week it appears rather than at the end of a term.

  • Weekly class tests, not announced as exams
  • Two terminal examinations a year
  • Oral and reading assessment for every language
  • Written report plus a face-to-face parent meeting
  • Remedial batch for anyone below the class average
