Overview

Overview

Kohana International School, Dehra uses the best practices available in the education system to help students develop into well-rounded, responsible individuals with a wide range of skills and ability to analyse complex issues of local, national and global significance. The curriculum we follow fosters a strong sense of multiculturalism and universal values in students who will be committed to a pluralistic sensibility and positive change. By educating the child, we will support the individual needs of each student and value their unique contribution to our school.

The curriculum offered for students in Primary and Middle Schools is based on the premise that the individual student is at the centre of all teaching and learning. The unique curriculum developed indigenously creates an interactive atmosphere to foster independent thinking among learners. It has been designed to incorporate an international perspective, which reflects developments in curriculum research from a range of different national and international sources. In keeping with our mission, we have a responsibility to ensure that students acquire skills and attitudes which will meet the needs of the 21st century.

Going beyond the chalk and talk method of teaching, our faculty uses the latest technology as a tool to reach out to the students, be it in Mathematics, Science, or languages. Audio-Visual presentations in the Class rooms through Digital Boards, use of Mathematics kit and Flashcards in and outside the classrooms add to the understanding and retention among the children. Experiential learning has been another pillar of strength to develop inventive thinking in our students.

A peep into the classroom

At the KIS, we are committed to the academic transcendence of all our students. The Interactive Enrichment class for all students every day is a big step towards this commitment. Students try to complete their assignments under the guidance of subject teachers within this hour-long practice session and concepts are re-taught, wherever needed. Once the areas of difficulty are identified, children undergo a remedial session as well, with a different approach, and concepts are reinforced through worksheets or assignments. For gifted children, we go for creative solutions to complex problems in these enrichment classes. To put in a nutshell, we identify, we nurture, we refine and finally we guide our students towards academic excellence.
