Empowering the independent learner
Our child-directed learning and high student-teacher ratios allow the child to progress at their own pace, and develop a foundation of strong academic skills, complemented with holistic spiritual impressions, role models and values.
Our curriculum in the CASA room is especially designed to
Provide age-appropriate exposure to five areas of learning (Language, Math, Practical Life, Culture and Sensorial)
Engage students in meaningful ways to celebrate spiritual festivals that create lasting impressions and inculcate values
Facilitate memorization and recitation of Sanskrit shlokas for enhanced focus and brain development
Enhance focus and bodily strength through regular practice of age-appropriate yoga poses
Nourish the body and enhance the immunity through specially curated Ayurvedic Meals
Develop and strengthen fine and gross motor skills through various practical life activities
Instill confidence, kindness, grace and courtesy, and to facilitate social skills through modeling
Allow children to learn by doing, using all their senses to gain positive experiences of the world
The Prepared Environment
A key feature of the CASA program is the 'prepared environment'. The students have access to a lot more Montessori materials to learn from. The qualified Montessori teacher arranges the material around the classroom to facilitate gradual learning of skills as the child works through each of these materials. This allows children to accomplish their goals and work mostly independently, gaining confidence in a particular skills.
Our classroom is a spacious, aesthetically pleasing space with mostly natural materials. This enhances the ability of the students to concentrate and focus on their lessons. Students naturally acquire a sense of order and inculcate self-discipline and respect for the environment. In a normalized classroom (where students are well-established in their routines) you will find a peaceful environment where the members exhibit kindness and respect towards each other and an obvious joy in their work.

Twice a week students learn Sanskrit language. They begin by oral sanskrit (through rhymes, parts of the body, days of the week, and other commonly used terms) and gradually move on to learning the akshara.
