The Indus Early Years Programme emphasises transdisciplinary education through an inquiry-based approach to learning. The curriculum encourages children to ask questions, plan investigations, explore various outcomes, and reach credible and logical conclusions, with teachers as facilitators. We provide a curriculum which is engaging, exciting, challenging, and relevant to children. Using higher order thinking skills helps children analyze, synthesize and understand what they learn, while enhancing their ability to transfer competencies and skills. The IELC curriculum is organized into five areas of learning: Language Development Concentrating on the basics of oral communication speaking and listening, reading and comprehending simple texts and encouraging writing skills, this area of learning helps children stay ahead of the curve by giving them the edge to start writing and reading voraciously. Numeracy This area helps children develop their skills in logical operations, like counting, sorting, matching, creating patterns, problem-solving and working with shapes and measures. We help them build a strong mathematical foundation through practical tasks, stories, songs, games and imaginative plays. We also help children to understand how mathematics can be applied in real life. Science and Social Studies (Inquiry Units) Children are inquisitive by birth. Every day, they are exposed to a whole range of sights and sounds, which stimulates curiosity in them. We help them develop crucial knowledge, skills and understanding to make sense of the world around them, and learn from life itself. Personal, Social and Physical Education To become true leaders, children learn to strive for success through all-round development of their personal, social, emotional and physical selves. This provides them with an excellent opportunity to succeed in all areas of learning. Creative Arts Learning the arts helps children experience a unique integration of the body and mind. We therefore encourage children to indulge in and appreciate different forms of creative expressions like art, music, dance and role play.
