Fostering competence in language and literacy is an essential tool for achieving Grade-level objectives and ultimately leads to student success, as all subjects have a language component.

We, at Capstone High, strive to integrate 21st-century skills with language development in our classrooms through our three-language policy. It is essential to encourage full respect for the use of the vernacular in teaching and learning to promote linguistic diversity. Inclusive language education policies not only lead to higher learning achievements but also contribute to tolerance, social cohesion, and peace.

English is the medium of communication in school.

Not just literacy and writing skills, through our English curriculum we build the next generation of responsible global citizens. We use opportunities to make our lessons more oriented towards social and community issues.

Children are motivated to read texts and discuss their learning in a forum that leads them to think critically about issues or problems in the story and to analyse it from many viewpoints and perspectives in the class with an open mind. It helps them become critical thinkers, which is one of the most valuable skills that our students will need in the future.

Teaching Hindi as a second language is crucial from the point of view of developing Hindi as a link language for India as an official language. Students are encouraged to express their thoughts and ideas around everyday situations through various Art forms (including story-telling, creative writing, theatre, music, dance, and visual art) to make Hindi learning interesting and engaging. This enhances their comprehension skills, language competencies, and ability to participate in everyday communication.

Activities done in class help achieve the following purposes:

1. Developing focus and clarity of thought.
2. Developing vocabulary.
3. Ability to communicate in the language.

ಪ್ರಾಥಮಿಕ ಹಂತದಲ್ಲಿ ಕನ್ನಡ ಪಠ್ಯಕ್ರಮವು ಮಕ್ಕಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹಲವು ಭಾಷಾ ಕೌಶಲಗಳನ್ನು ಬೆಳೆಸುವ ಗುರಿಯನ್ನು ಹೊಂದಿದೆ. ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿಗಳು ಈ ಹಂತದಲ್ಲಿ ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟ ಹಾಗೂ ನಿರರ್ಗಳವಾಗಿ ಓದುವ ಮತ್ತು ಬರೆಯುವ ಮೂಲಕ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಉತ್ತರಗಳನ್ನು ಬರೆಯುವ ಮತ್ತು ಹೇಳುವ ಕೌಶಲವನ್ನು ಬೆಳೆಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಾರೆ. ನಮ್ಮ ಶಾಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕಲಿಕೆಯ ಉತ್ತೇಜಿಸಲು ಮತ್ತು ಆನಂದದಾಯಕವಾಗಿರಲು ಹಲವಾರು ಅಭ್ಯಾಸ ಚಟುವಟಿಕೆಗಳನ್ನು ನೀಡಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಅದರಲ್ಲಿ ಗುಂಪು ಚಟುವಟಿಕೆ,ನಾಟಕಾಭಿನಯ,ವಿವರಣಾ ಪದ್ದತಿ ಇನ್ನು ಮುಂತಾದ ಚಟುವಟಿಕೆಗಳನ್ನು ಅಳವಡಿಸಿ ಕೊಂಡು ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿಗಳಿಗೆ ನೈಜ ಅನುಭವವನ್ನು ಮೂಡಿಸುವ ಮೂಲಕ ಕಲಿಕೆಯನ್ನು ಮತ್ತಷ್ಟು ಆಸಕ್ತಿದಾಯಕವಾಗಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇವೆ. ಕನ್ನಡ ಭಾಷಾ ಕಲಿಕೆಗೆ ಪ್ರತ್ಯೇಕ ಕೊಠಡಿಯೊಂದನ್ನು ಮೀಸಲಿಡಲಾಗಿದೆ.ಇದರಿಂದ ಮಕ್ಕಳು ಆಸಕ್ತಿಯಿಂದ ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಕುತೂಹಲದಿಂದ ಇಷ್ಟಪಟ್ಟು ಕನ್ನಡ ಭಾಷೆಯನ್ನು ಕಲಿಯುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

(ಗುಂಪು ಚಟುವಟಿಕೆಯ ಮೂಲಕ ಸ್ವಯಂ ಕಲಿಕೆ)

• (ಮೈಂಡ್ ಮ್ಯಾಪ್).
• (ನಾಟಕಾಭಿನಯ).

ಭಾಷೆಯನ್ನು ದ್ವಿತೀಯ ಮತ್ತು ತೃತೀಯ ಭಾಷೆಯನ್ನಾಗಿ ಮಾತ್ರ ಬೋಧಿಸದೆ ನೈತಿಕ ಮೌಲ್ಯಗಳಿಗೂ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನ ಆದ್ಯತೆಯನ್ನು ನೀಡಲಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಇದರಿಂದ ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿಗಳು ಉತ್ತಮ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿತ್ವವನ್ನು ರೂಪಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲು ಹಾಗೂ ಸತ್ ಚಾರಿತ್ರ್ಯವನ್ನು ಬೆಳೆಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲು ಸಹಕಾರಿಯಾಗುತ್ತದೆ.

The Mathematics curriculum at the primary level aims to ensure that children build a strong foundation by connecting and applying mathematical concepts in a variety of engaging ways and situations.

It also addresses the complex individual needs of every child to acquire

• Number sense.
• Develop a sense of space and spatial thinking.
• Realise the need for and understanding of standard units of measurement.
• Investigate data through first-hand observations.
• Apply mathematical concepts to provide day-to-day solutions.

Applying mathematical themes (numbers, shapes, problem-solving patterns, and systematic reasoning) in daily life for various purposes, including problem-solving, demonstrates an understanding of these concepts. We view mathematics as a practical tool as well as a discipline that fosters reasoning and analytical abilities. Students are encouraged to establish a connection between daily life contexts and mathematical thinking.

With global technological advancements, children need to be scientifically literate to succeed. Students are encouraged to develop their abilities to ask questions, gather information, organise and test their ideas, solve problems, and apply what they learn to provide situational solutions to better understand the concept.

In Capstone High, teachers facilitate and inspire students to maximise the potential of their formal and informal learning experiences through observation, research, communication, and conclusion.

Science activities allow children to develop and practise a variety of skills and attributes. These include communication skills, collaborative skills, teamwork, creative thinking skills, critical thinking skills, and perseverance, as well as analytical, reasoning, and problem-solving skills.

Social studies, at the primary level, helps students understand the interrelationships of the world they live in and the complexities of the human experience in their physical and social environment. It assists students in understanding and appreciating real-world issues and developing critical thinking skills.

At Capstone High, we use a variety of engaging and enriching teaching strategies to help students develop a deep conceptual understanding and encourage them to develop higher-order thinking skills. Some of the strategies used are:

Graphic organizers: a helpful learning tool for students to organise, clarify, or simplify complex information—they help students construct understanding through an exploration of the relationships between and across concepts. For Collaborative learning, students are divided into smaller groups of two or more learners who work together to solve problems, complete tasks, or learn new concepts.

In a flipped classroom, instead of the teacher introducing a new concept and assigning projects, students are encouraged to research and share their knowledge with their classmates.

Visual learning helps students retain information more effectively than any other method. We use images, videos, charts, maps, documentaries, diagrams, etc. for teaching students in the classroom.

Art integration is an approach to teaching in which students construct and demonstratean understanding of different subjects through an expressive Art form. Students engage in a creative process that connects an art form with another subject area and meets evolving objectives in both.
