Blooming Dales` Modern School curriculum strives to create a harmonious balance between academic demands, sporting and cultural activities and community life. It challenges its pupils to be intellectually inquisitive and socially conscious. Our School believes that while what students know is important, the true measure of a student’s education is the ability to analyse what they do not know. It empowers Blooming Dales` in every aspect of personality and skill development. This helps them to grow up as all - rounded individuals, better prepared mentally, physically and emotionally to make their lives successful.
Elementary Level ( Nursery & K.G. )
Elementary Level is the very first step of a Blooming Dales` school life. So, it`s important to help children get comfortable in an environment other than their home. Experts believe that 2-4 years of age is the appropriate time for a child to learn about perception, creativity, logical-thinking, counting, language-skills, social-interaction and good-behaviour. This is why Blooming Dales` Curriculum provides for a number of enriching experiences encompassing story-telling, role-play, counting games, group activities, art, music, field excursions, puppet shows and sports. A thematic approach is followed where several activities are integrated around a central theme to make learning more meaningful and relevant.
Junior Level ( Classes 1 - 5 )
At this stage, great emphasis is laid for Blooming Dales` to become accustomed to formal classroom learning. This is important, as children must be ready for greater and more abstract academic challenges in senior classes. Towards this end, various activities are organized such as quizzes, field excursions, project work, role-plays, pretend plays, assembly presentations and group discussions. Greater focus is also laid on formal learning of languages, Mathematics and Environmental Sciences.
Middle Level (classes 6 - 8)
Now come the challenges of adolescence. At this stage, students undergo dramatic physical and emotional changes. Simultaneously, they`re expected to fit-in well with the societal norms by becoming effective communicators and responsible individuals. To guide Maxfortians through this difficult stage, the facilitators at Blooming Dales` help them to become active thinkers and confident learners. Activities such as conferences, field trips, counselling sessions, and personality development workshops promote self-awareness and understanding.
Senior Level ( Classes 9 - 12 )
At this stage, preparing for the competitive examinations takes precedence, along with active social and co-curricular participation. A detailed timetable for completion of project work and preparation for class assessments and term examinations is put into effect. Simultaneously, Blooming Dales` encouraged to identify interests and aptitudes to make informed choices about their future educational and vocational plans.
Evaluation and Assessment
The evaluation system is continuous and comprehensive. The academic year is divided into two semesters. There are two cycle tests in each subject one in each semester, surprise tests at regular intervals and First Semester Examination and Second Semester Examination
Weightage is allotted for the cycle test, surprise tests and internal assessment.
