Our Curriculum
HSI Schools follows the curriculum of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), a board of school education in India. The syllabus is the same as that followed by all schools affiliated to the CBSE board in India and abroad. The medium of instruction is English.
The curriculum which is up-to-date with latest educational trends and techniques offers a wide variety of hands-on application avenues that make learning both rewarding and meaningful. Continuous and comprehensive education is paced in a way that deepens learning and most importantly motivates children to learn. Understanding is given more value than memory and all learning experiences in the classroom are linked with experiences in life outside. A vast range of teaching methods prevents boredom and children are encouraged to learn at their own pace. There is a perfect balance between teacher-led and child-engineered activity both in the classroom and out.
In keeping with the recent directives of the CBSE, driven by a reformatory zeal, evaluation is done in a way that boosts the morale of a child and pushes him/her to further achievement. The focus is not on examinations and report cards but on real learning. Although examinations are an indispensible part of the education system care is taken to see that the teaching learning process is effective and learning is internalized. Continuous and comprehensive evaluation does not exclude traditional examinations but merely de-emphasises them.
Our endeavour to provide ‘high quality’ education is not at the cost of the child. In a stress-free and progressive environment we meet the expectations of all stakeholders in education. Formal assessment takes the form of not only pen and paper examination but self assessment, peer assessment, parental assessment and informal daily anecdotal reporting by the teachers. In all assessments and reports constructive feedback will be provided in a clear and simple language that will lead a child to improved performance. All assessment is objective and aimed at enhancing student achievement. At HSI Schools, we believe that ‘report cards’ should be demystified for the child for its relevance is most to him/her.
The Future of Learning
We are pioneers. Whether in our schools, as a change agent in the work we do with governments, or our foundation that champions and trains teachers around the world. We don’t just look at a student or the world as they are. We see what they could be.
Of course, it helps that we work with the most inquisitive minds everyday. When we hear our students ask us – “why?”, we know we are equipping the next generation with skills and an environment to make a positive impact on the world today and tomorrow. What truly matters to us, above all, is how our students feel when they walk through our doors. For them we are a window into the vibrant world of tomorrow, to their future and their endless potential.
Always looking forward. Always learning. This is who we are.
Our Core Values also lie at the heart of our holistic approach to education – in our planned curriculum, in our school life and other places of work. HSI Core Values help our learners become not just great students but great people.
- Growing By Learning – Strive to develop your potential
- Pursuing Excellence – Work to continually exceed expectations
- Leading Through Innovation – Find the courage to challenge convention
- Global Citizenship – Making an active contribution to your local and global community
Enhanced Learning
For many parents, a formal identification of a specific learning difficulty is a turning point and can be a huge relief. At HSI Education we believe every child as the right to a quality education.
That’s why when your child attends a HSI School, they can access a whole spectrum of help and support to address individual learning needs. We’re proud to run some of the very best schools in the world; our teachers and principals, however, don’t like to rest on their laurels.
We are always looking to find new and creative ways to stimulate learning and continually striving to improve the way we teach. Our emphasis on enquiry-based approaches, both within and beyond traditional learning environments, means we’re quick to implement new technologies wherever we believe they will be beneficial; we are looking to develop well-rounded students with 21st century skills who are ready for an increasingly globalised world.
We benefit from best-practice teaching methods shared by professional educators all over the world but some of our freshest ideas come from listening to our students and their families. We make it our business to pass on what we learn to others because our ultimate goal is to provide an exceptional education to as many as possible.
