• Pre-primary: Early Childhood Development – At a young age, cognitive development, muscular flexibility, and increased social time are imperative for a child to be equipped with tools to build a base for future academic rigor, Physical fitness, and emotional quotient. At Sanskriti school, an activity-based approach to learning makes their curriculum holistic and child-centric. Hands-on activities, and experiments like cooking without fire, music, and dance provide the child with opportunities to maximize development.
• Junior school – Ranging from Grade 1-5, the junior school curriculum is child-centered and activity based so that learning is made fun and enjoyable to cater to the curious minds at that age.
