Elementary Education at Himalayan Academy Boarding School
The transition from preschool to primary education marks an important milestone in a child's academic journey. At Himalayan Academy Boarding School, we ensure this shift is smooth and effective, guided by a child-centred approach. Our primary level focuses on developing essential skills like critical thinking, communication, research, social interaction, and self-management. Our goal is to prepare students for the future, equipping them with the tools to navigate a rapidly changing world.
The curriculum at the primary level integrates international teaching practices while aligning with the National Curriculum, fostering both national pride and global awareness. With a focus on holistic development, we cultivate curiosity and a love for learning in every student.
Integrated Learning Approach
Our integrated learning approach spans a variety of subjects, including Languages, Social Studies, Science, Mathematics, and ICT. This method fosters self-learning and promotes key skills such as research, critical thinking, and communication. Students are encouraged to make connections across disciplines, creating a comprehensive understanding of their education.
Engaging and Interactive Activities
Our classrooms are filled with engaging activities designed to cater to diverse learning styles. These activities not only help students grasp academic concepts but also teach important social and self-management skills. The hands-on approach ensures that every child can learn at their own pace.
Festival Celebrations
At Himalayan Academy, we believe in celebrating the rich cultural diversity of our community. Our students actively participate in vibrant festival celebrations, fostering a sense of unity and respect for different traditions. These celebrations teach students not only about their own culture but also about the values and customs of others.
Field Trips and Exploration
Regular field trips and community visits offer students the chance to explore the world beyond the classroom. These excursions help develop their observation and critical thinking skills, providing valuable real-world learning experiences.
Developing a Love for Reading
We foster a reading culture from an early age. Each classroom features a mini library, and initiatives such as the DEAR (Drop Everything and Read) Programme, Literature-based Language Learning, and Battle of the Books encourage students to immerse themselves in the world of books. This not only enhances literacy skills but also fosters a lifelong love for reading.
At the primary level, Himalayan Academy Boarding School nurtures curious and confident learners, preparing them for the next stage in their educational journey and empowering them to become responsible global citizens.
