WELL RESEARCHED AND CHILD CENTRIC CURRICULUM
As a school, BOMIS promotes creative thinking, shift away from rote methodologies and nurture sensitivity within in all aspects. Every child differ in terms of intelligence and hence their approach towards the surroundings. This approach helps every individual to learn about the world through language, logical-mathematical analysis, spatial representation, musical thinking, the use of the body to solve problems or to make things, an understanding of other individuals, and an understanding of ourselves.
Integrated approach to teaching-learning is to enable children to comprehend learning experiences as a unified whole, to help them see meaningful linkages within and across various subject areas. Instead of moving from one topic to another learning information is compartmentalised which aims at helping children to make sense of life’s experience by connecting and correlating knowledge and experiences around.
The curriculum follows a ‘theme based’ approach in all the areas rather then ‘topical approach’. The themes facilitates in addressing the issues related to the area under study in the holistic manner. IN addition the curriculum fir Arts Education at the primary level has been developed as a core area along with theme based approach. This type of learning leads to provide scope for creative expressions, appreciation and working together.
The curriculum is ‘child centred’. The identified concepts, skills, issues and concerns are age- appropriate so that the understanding of the child develops gradually from self to the immediate surrounding and further to the wider environment. For example, information related to child and his/her family member may be given before introducing him/her before neighbourhood. Thus, the child moves from simple to complex, concrete to abstract, informal to formal concepts in a logical and phased manner.
