  1. Welcome To Indus World School, Gurgaon

  2. Child - Centric Approach At IWS we believe that the child is at the centre of every activity, while the PARENT, CURRICULUM and MENTOR need to work in sync to facilitate and help the child learn

  3. Learning stages at IWS Child centric does not always mean play way. Children at different ages have different needs. AtIWSwe understand this and hence have clearly created three learning phases. Learning stage-1: Anandastage: Age: 2 - 8 years - Grades – Pre nur to grade-2. In this stage learning is made joyful. Learning stage-2: Jigyasa stage: Age: 8-14 yrs Grades – 3 to 8. In this stage learning is facilitated by encouraging questioning, experimentation and discovery. Learning stage-3: Saadhanastage: Age: 14 yrs plus Grades 9 to 12. In this stage children are nurtured to prepare for life and practice to perfection

  4. EVERYONE here FEELS SAFE, SECURE AND WANTEDfor what he or she is. At IWS JoyandLearning Coexist right from the Ananda stage

  5. Everyone including mentors is allowed toMAKE MISTAKES AND NOT FEEL ASHAMED OF IT. At IWS Hence SELF-DISCIPLINE, OWNERSHIP IS THE NORMand not monitoring, policing & control.

  6. EVERYONE IS A LEARNER in the true sense.Teacher/ Mentor does not have an upper hand in the process, most of the time – as we say ‘You TEACH what you KNOW but EDUCATE , what you ARE’, you will find mentors a part of the learning process and walking the talk . At IWS

  7. IWS Mentors are very carefully recruited We have a very rigorous multistage mentor recruitment process. Induction Process - Unique Written Test Group Discussions Psychometric Test Interviews Outbound trip TRAINING on INDUCTION. CONTINUOUS ACADEMIC AND NON-ACADEMIC MENTORING.

  8. Our core belief Our core belief At Indus we believe-Every child is unique- Every child is naturally motivated to learn-The way they learn could be differentHence we do not compare children in primary years up to grade-5.

  9. in -LESS IS MORE– emphasis on UNDERSTANDING than just on memorising At IWS we believe

  13. We at Indus believe that real questions come with real experiences. Children will think only when they observe surroundings then they begin to question,reason and learn. Learning at Ananda - Experiential Cognitive development at Ananda I’m not scared How many glasses fill a bucket? Bhutta party Building a tent Bunny eats palak too How does it taste? Catching lady bugs in garden Experiencing Rain

  14. Sequencing – Learning at his pace Children are given space and freedom to construct knowledge. Mentors just facilitate. How can I build the tower?

Writing: Writing is expressing ideas in own words. Drawing is a form of writing Children are allowed to use their spellings - Inventive spellings, slowly corrections are enabled

  18. Social and Emotional development Social and Emotional development is given a lot of importance Children are nurtured to mingle and work in groups. Children are nurtured to understand others feelings

  19. Where SELF-DISCIPLINE, OWNERSHIP IS THE NORMand notmonitoring , policing & control. We have circle times where children share their feelings with each other

  20. Aesthetic development Aesthetic nurturing of music, dance and art Is also curricular for us…they are all integrated in learning.

  24. Assessments at Ananda Upto grade-2 we will have continuous assessments, from grade-3 onwards we will get into structured assessments. Continuous and Comprehensive assessmentsEvery piece of work of a child is observedPortfolios are maintainedObservations are recorded daily Child’s progress reported twice a year Reflection of a mentor: Carrying forward yesterday’s discussion of sink-float and hot-cold,I performed two simple experiments in the class .With a big tub of water ,I requested each child to bring things from within and outside the class .these turned out to be stones,twigs ,paintbrushes,pencils,erasers sharpeners etc ,and one by one children added it in the tub of water to record their observation whether it sinks or floats! Several interesting information was discussed through this as Prisha said ,if a boat has a hole in it ,it will slowly start sinking ,as water will get into it and make it heavy.Then I spoke about the importance of wood which helps us to make furniture ,boat as it does not sink etc. Portfolios of children
