ACADEMICS
In G-Kids Public School, the curriculum has been so framed, that the individual child is the core of the whole programme. An atmosphere of relaxed, easy human relationship between the children and the teachers pervades the class room. The children are encouraged to get involved in the exciting adventure of learning experience through discussion, enquiry and experimentation.

Primary Curriculum:
The period of primary school (from Class III to Class V) marks the formal introduction of the child to reading, writing, arithmetic and environmental studies. This period of three years is one of tremendous cognitive development; shaping reason, intellect and social skills.
Middle School Curriculum:
The curriculum is presented in seven content areas. Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing, Literature, Grammar and Phonics, Spelling and Vocabulary.
In grades VI to VIII, the focus under Phonics, Spelling And Vocabulary is to enable the child to spell correctly, increase knowledge of word families, roots, derivations, morphology and regular spelling patterns; learn a range of vocabulary appropriate to their needs and use words with precision in speech and writing.
Reading includes reading of fiction, non-fiction and poetry texts using a range of strategies such as skimming and scanning in order to develop and enhance conceptual understanding, decoding, inferring and interpreting.
Writing incorporates different ways of generating, organising and shaping ideas, using a range of planning formats or methods, exploring some of the key linguistic and literary techniques used by writers, and beginning to use them to write, inform, explain, describe, argue, persuade and comment.
Grammar is not dealt with in isolation. It is contextually related with all other areas of language, especially Literature. The focus is on enabling the child to be self generational in applying the conventions of grammar and using integrated structures with accuracy and fluency.
Literature over a span of 3 years helps children to appreciate literature of different genres while learning to understand and apply the terms in their written responses. Under Speaking and Listening the focus is towards enabling the child to communicate across a wide spectrum and make notable contributions to group discussions while developing the ability to listen courteously to others.
