The New
Horizon Public School (ICSE) consists of a Pre-primary
section which follows an innovative curriculum that encourages
learning through activity, play and first hand experience.
Combining the concepts of the Montessori method and the
play way method, this system helps the child learn and
grow at his or her own pace. Experimental learning is provided
by regularly organising field trips.
An
activity room enables self-directed learning and allows
the children to be independent of the teacher. The room
is specially designed and equipped to promote muscular
and motor co-ordination of the children. In addition, students
are encouraged to read newspapers and magazines at school
to improve general awareness. The last working day of each
month is the Toy Corner day. Each child brings
a toy from home thereby inculcating the habit of sharing
through playing. At a higher level, learning takes place
through an interactive approach, discussion, observation
and experimentation. Learning through project work is another
dimension in this process.
Right from the lower level, the teacher makes use of technology in
her day to day teaching like the overhead projector, video
projector, television, tape-recorder, CD player etc. The child
is introduced to computers in the early years to enable him
or her to develop skills that will prove vital in future.
Computer education is offered to students from Standard I
onwards. |
