Junior School
The Junior School at Chitkara International School offers an immersive and stimulating learning environment tailored for the foundational stages of a child’s education. Aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the curriculum is designed to cover various developmental stages, starting with a five-year Foundational stage and progressing through the Preparatory, Middle, and Secondary stages.
The levels within Kindergarten—Chicklets, Nestling, Fledgling, and Cygnets—symbolise the developmental journey of a young bird learning to soar, reflected in the school’s thoughtfully designed infrastructure. Corridors adorned with open courtyards and knowledge walkways foster a vibrant atmosphere, encouraging experiential learning.
Distinct thematic floors, such as Jungle Safari, Underwater World, “M,” and “W,” offer more than visual stimuli; they inspire students to think expansively beyond conventional imagery and vocabulary. The infrastructure is meticulously crafted to cater to the psychology of young learners. Air-conditioned classrooms with controlled temperatures, along with features such as treehouses and open courtyards, balance comfort with a connection to nature.
The school is fully Wi-Fi enabled and equipped with modern technology, including projectors, e-beams, and touch screens, to support a research-based curriculum for kindergarteners. This setup ensures a dynamic and enriching learning experience. Innovatively designed furniture and learning tools, such as the Outlook Express, Activity Corner, Weather Chart Display, Mobile Racks, and Ceiling Fixtures, enhance the efficacy of the learning environment.
Classrooms are designed as hubs of inquiry, stimulating young minds to explore, express, and question. Washrooms are tailored to meet the needs and comfort of young learners. Access to the auditorium, activity room, monitored play areas, and engaging installations like PlayStations add variety to the students’ learning experiences.
The school’s design features exciting ramps, railings, ample lighting, and ventilation to create a child-friendly environment. Additionally, a Musical Bell welcoming new teachers adds a charming touch to the school’s ambience.
Chitkara International School’s junior wing aims to acclimatise children to the school environment, providing a supportive and comfortable setting that fosters a positive start to their educational journey.
