Curriculum

The school follows the syllabus prescribed by NCERT and the Central Board of Secondary Education. Over the years, the school has carved out a niche for itself through an excellent academic curriculum, a faculty of competent and dedicated members ready to pay individual attention to each child.

At KAINAT INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL we deliver the full national curriculum along with Islamic study and personal, social and health education (PSHE). It is our aim that every child develops their full potential and the curriculum in delivered with these aim in mind.
Where ever possible we teach subject through exciting themes which allow us to be creative, equipping children to become lifelong learners who are able to ask question, engage in deep thinking and reflect on their learning.

The school is characterized by high quality teaching in classes where every child is known and encouraged to work to the best of his/her ability. Great emphasis is placed on students to develop confidence and fluency in English.
The school is affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education, New Delhi, up to class XII.

At KAINAT INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL we believe that learning is not just a path to university and a career, but it is also a path to pleasure. The books we read, the science we absorb, the languages we learn, the artistic, sporting and musical skills we acquire are the tools that enable us to fulfil our potential.

The best education is not about cramming for exams but preparing young people for life in all aspects. Our aim is to help each child in our school community reach their potential.

We achieve this by rigorous attention to academic outcomes combined with an extensive co-curricular program. Our co-curricular activities include a highly respected music, dance and drama program, sporting opportunities, House programs, unsurpassed pastoral care, a well-defined code of behaviour and a well-developed sense of community.

Our students' achievements are testament to the dedication and expertise of our teachers, who enjoy a close relationship with their students at all levels. This personal knowledge gives them a good appreciation of what each student needs, educationally and socially. We continue to be justifiably proud of the well-rounded, well-educated, considerate and community-minded young people who constitute our past and present student body.

Primary School Curriculum

Our primary school students actually look forward to returning to school by the time the summer break is over!

Children, for the most part, enjoy their learning, are engaged in the programs, like to be challenged and thoroughly immerse themselves in the many co-curricular activities available at KAINAT INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL.
The strong culture for success in the Junior School is reflected in the 'Have a Go' attitude adopted by students and encouraged by teachers. Students are challenged to do their best at every opportunity. Teachers structure all activities to allow for individual levels of attainment and progress.

The core academic priorities of Language, Maths, Social Studies, General Knowledge and Science studies are presented in a manner that celebrates understanding, exploration, and skill development and fosters areas of personal interest and growth. A variety of learning strategies ensure that all learning styles are catered for.

Teaching staff continue to explore new ways to enhance learning with this technology. The teachers assist students with skill development in the areas of resilience, getting along with others, persistence, confidence and organization. This program helps students to accept responsibility for their own learning and encourages skills and attitudes that lead to greater success and more efficient use of their time.
Our approach presents students with foundation learning in a planned topic and then allows them to explore this knowledge further in ways that interest them.
 

Middle School Curriculum

The time spent in the Secondary School is a unique period of student growth and development. The KAINAT INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL’s program is designed to extend students' academic skills, promote personal development and encourage attitudes of responsible citizenship thorough a variety of learning experiences. This includes interdisciplinary learning across the academic and pastoral programs.

Our teaching philosophy and practice is based on the understanding that during these years students undergo significant physical, emotional, social and academic development. The diversity of curricular and co-curricular activities available to students enables them to accept increasing levels of responsibility for their own learning and behaviour.

There are many opportunities for students to experience leadership challenges within the Middle School. In classes 7 and 8 students will work across a number of specific briefs and assist in a range of activities. All students are encouraged to develop their leadership skills.

Unit Tests, Examinations and Evaluation

The school follows Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) System for students of Class VI to X to assess the progress of each student in various subjects and wholesome personal growth and development. Classes XI & XII will not be covered by the CCE system. The academic session is divided into two semesters the first from April to September and the second from October to March.

The syllabus covered in each semester may be carried forward to the next semester; hence it is imperative that students are regular in their attendance and studies in order to perform well in each semester.

The students of class XI will have to appear for a comprehensive examination, covering the entire syllabus at the end of the second semester, as preparation for the following year's CBSE Board Examination. The format recording Attendance has been provided in the school handbook and students are encouraged to update it and keep a track of their progress.

The results of tests and examinations are communicated to parents by means of Progress Report cards at the end of each semester.

Parents are required to sign the answer scripts of their child in each subject, after each test/examination, so that they are aware of their child's performance and are in a better position to discuss the same with the teachers. (However, answer scripts of the Final Examination will not, under any circumstances, be shown to the parents).

For classes IX & X promotion is based on the day-to-day work of the students throughout the year and also on their performance in the terminal examination.

Promotions are decided in consultation with class/subject teachers at the end of the academic session. A student will be granted promotion on the basis of overall performance in weekly (Unit) tests and end of term examinations of both semesters.

The minimum pass mark for classes VI to VIII in each subject is 40%. Students of classes XI and XII are required to pass in theory and practical separately. The results declared at the end of the year are final.

For classes IX & X promotion is based on the day-to-day work of the students throughout the year and also on their performance in the terminal examination.

Students who fail in one or more subjects will not be eligible for promotion to the next class. A student who fails twice in the same class will not be permitted to continue studies in the school.

In order to qualify for the promotion, every student must have not less than 90% attendance for the whole year exclusive of any leaves that may have been duly sanctioned.

Absence/leave in a test/examination will be treated as having received no marks. Separate arrangements cannot be made for students who, for any reason, are not present for any of the tests/examinations. Academic Awards are given on the basis of the student's performance in tests/examinations of both semesters; hence, students are urged to be present for all the evaluations.

Continuous Assessment

Written work is only one of the many ways of assessing a child. Even in written work, the teacher takes into account the quality, accuracy, neatness and efficiency with which the work is done.

Besides the written task, students are graded for their response in class and participation in all class activities. They are expected to express their thoughts freely and confidently. The teacher also takes into account honesty, creativity and originality of each child in allotting grades. Hence, assessment is based on the all round growth and development of the child from different angles. Annual awards at the end of the session will also be given on this basis.

In deciding the promotion of a student, grades of all assessments will be taken into consideration in addition to their classwork during the year.

We are following UNIT TEST Ist + UNIT TEST IInd + HALF YEARLY and UNIT TEST IIIrd + UNIT TEST IVth + ANNUAL EXAM for classes I to XII.
