Junior School

The junior school offers a very vibrant, colourful, thematic, inviting and knowledgeable experience for a child to start his/her journey at school. The various levels of Kindergarten i.e. Chicklets, Nestling, Fledgling, Cygnets symbolize the journey of a baby bird learning to fly and spreading its wings all over on its own. This very much reflects in the infrastructure of the junior school. With an access to the open courtyard on one side and knowledge walkways on the other side, the corridors are full of life that are next to real life experiences.

The jungle safari, the underwater world and the 'M' and 'W' floors are the floors which drives a student to think beyond the painted characters and limited lexical structures and vocabulary words. The infrastructure has been designed keeping in mind the psychology of a young learner in mind at that level. Fully air conditioned classroom (well monitored temperature settings) yet access to the nature with the tree house and open courtyard makes it a perfect blend for a learner to be comfortable. A wi-fi enabled school with projectors, e-beams and touch screens with research-based curriculum specifically for kindergarteners ensure a rich and unique learning platform for a starter. The furniture has been designed with lot of innovation and research to suit the needs of the learners and at the same time the outlook express, the activity corner, the weather chart display corner, the mobile racks and the ceilings of the classrooms all exhibit learning outcomes. The classrooms are the engines of inquiry that ignite the spirit of research in the young minds to think, express and inquire. The washrooms have been designed as per the size of the young ones and keeping their comfort intact. The junior school has the access to the school auditorium as well as the activity room. From time to time the open but monitored fields and the playstations are visited as well. The school has been designed with the element of excitement in terms of ramps and railings that are easier and exciting for the child to climb with adequate lighting and ventilation for the child to breathe fresh air as well.

Curriculum

The breadth and dynamism of the curriculum at abode Junior School sets it apart from most schools, and is characteristic of its unique child-centric approach that encourages self-expression and celebrates the individual. In a safe and nurturing environment, our innovative teachers seek to challenge and inspire, carving out the freedom for each child to fulfil their potential. As a result of these firm foundations, our Juniors leave us with the curiosity, self-assurance and raw talent that prepares them perfectly for the exciting challenges of Senior School.

Our focus on key literacy and numeracy skills in Reception centres around synthetic phonics,the Maths Early Learning Goals and sets children in good stead for academic progression, often demonstrating advanced reading levels for their age.

At Junior School level we have elected to assess children internally rather than imposing SATS in Year 6, allowing us to set individual goals and unlock a truer measure of ongoing progress. While academic achievement is vital, the school is similarly dedicated to fostering creative development, personal and social skills, and the traditional values of respect and courtesy that will help your child to succeed.
