The curriculum followed at St. Gregorios
is that recommended by the ICSE council. The school trains children to appear for the ICSE examination and also offers courses at the ISC level in Science, Commerce and Humanities.
For purposes of curricular organization, the school is divided into three sections:
1. Primary school – 1st to 5th.
2. Secondary school - 6th to 10th
3. Higher Secondary School – 11th to
12th
However, the entire school is treated as one single unit, under a single Principal. There are 3 coordinators, one for each section.
At the pre-school level, the Playway method is followed. This enables each child to develop at his or her own pace, and evaluation is a continuous and ongoing procedure that is not confined to any examination process. Emphasis is laid on oral skills and activities rather than on formal learning. Each and every child is given an opportunity to express himself /herself and allowed to blossom.
At the Primary level, the environmental approach is used. The importance of caring for theenvironment is stressed upon and children are made to realize that concern and preservation of their environment is really concern for all mankind. A theme is chosen and the entire scheme of studies is built around that topic. There are no examinations at all and evaluation is both qualitative and quantitative, where grades rather than marks are awarded on all their activities, and like in the pre-school, assessment is on oral as well as written work.
At the Secondary level, there is a blend of academics, value based education, co-curricular activities and sports; which we believe is essential for the over all development of the child. At the Std. IX and X, children can choose from a number of subjects such as Computer Applications, Commercial Applications, French, Technical Drawing Applications and Art, among others. The school has a well equipped Science laboratory and Computer labs that have the latest configuration computers along with Internet access. The school library is extremely well stocked and has the latest publications as well as magazines. |
