Our curriculum includes strategies and detailed activities that range across the content areas of literacy, mathematics, science, social science, aesthetics, and socio-emotional development. It carefully scaffolds learning to develop the 9 future skills and 15 habits of the mind in every child. Our children shift from being passive receivers to active readers, evaluators, thinkers, and innovators as they explore whilr learning.

Our assessment focuses attention on the things that our children CAN DO, instead of the things they cannot. This lays down a clear path to make sure that our students learn what they are yet to learn. Thus the assessment framework is designed to make the learning visible by using methods and tools to record, track, measure and communicate the learning competencies of each child. The portfolio, anecdotal records, observation trackers and the developmental profile makes sure that we get a complete picture of the child which culminates into the iKan Days and Learner Led Conferences where our children themselves demonstrate their own learning.

When children experience fluid learning spaces that merge from their daily rhythms with the environment and surrounding, it ignites the possibilities for exploration, imagination, creativity, and decision-making. We have designed our spaces with the intention to open up opportunities for children to nurture their playfulness as they seek, participate, persist, and develop their abilities to learn.

We use multiple materials, media and medium that include open resources like paints, paper, pencils, brushes, leaves, pebbles, twigs, counters, cloth pieces, metal, magnets to closed resources like toys, equipment, board games, audios, videos, apps, augmented reality, virtual reality, books etc. that have been curated and specially created to develop specific age appropriate skill set in our children. They can be created, purchased, natural, recycled objects, and loose parts but they all come together to inspire children’s creative sensibilities in diverse ways and support learning in multiple ways.

Teaching is not just making children achieve their learning outcomes, it is a process. It is a series of experiences that lead to the great “aha!” moments of life. Only a great teacher can make this happen. Like our children, our teachers too are lifelong learners and engage in self-directed learning. Our teachers don multiple roles of the observer as they listen and watch, the supporter as they encourage and accept, the facilitator as they inspire and enable, the investor as they demonstrate and surprise and the thinker as they adapt and transform.
