Welcome To Billabong High

Welcome To Vibgyor High

Kare Edumin Pre-Schools and Primary schools were created to fire the imagination of children from a young age. The goal was to create fun and rewarding learning experiences that would last children the rest of their learning lives. We are very excited to move forward in our journey with Vibgyor High.

Our aim is to create a purpose for learning and allow children to be thinkers, innovators and problem solvers; to orchestrate experiences that will result in a natural and integrated development of knowledge, skills and thinking. We have been leading by example, creating dynamic, caring, learning communities that value ‘the whole child’. Our vision is to develop a range of pathways to lifelong learning. Our belief is that all children should have the opportunity to experience the joy of discovery and develop a love of learning

Our Curriculum Philosophy.

We believe that the biggest single cause of school failure is a mismatch between children’s learning style and the teaching style adopted by most schools. The teaching style in most schools continues to be primarily through books which make learning restrictive. Learning that is desk-bound and paper –based may not be in the best interest of all children.

At Vibgyor High, student will be introduced to a method of learning that will take place primarily through experience rather than rote learning. Wherever possible children will have opportunities to actually experience ’apply’ information and knowledge. We believe that for children to learn effectively the content of the curriculum, as well as its delivery, is of paramount importance.

Our curriculum emphasizes ‘hands on’ learning experiences. This entails the creation and selection of educational material that the children can manipulate and interact with wherever possible

This is a different learning experience to the one where a child is given only verbal and visual instruction or information. The ‘hands on’ experience, we believe, results in a natural and integrated development of knowledge, skills and thinking. The primary focus is on the ‘processes that children will undergo in experiencing an activity. All of our education resource material including work books, work sheets, and teaching methodology, manuals are created keeping this ‘process’ as the main focus.

Our Pre Schools and Primary Schools have been able to successfully integrate the curriculum and integrated curriculum means that children will learn most of the subjects (prescribed in a school curriculum) within a topic/ theme. For instance, a topic may apparently seem to be typically belonging to social science, but we bring it out of its age- old slot and connect it with other subject areas of mathematics, language and creative arts as well.

A curriculum matrix is available on request for viewing at the school. These reflect the interconnected nature of our curriculum. Another important aspect of our interconnected curriculum is that it is in tune with the real world of learning. Real learning in our world does not occur in mutually exclusive compartments. They are interconnected. Our curriculum reflects this. The integrated curriculum modules will continue through the middle school years.

Special emphasis will be laid on creating an environment for self learning. The curriculum is investigative in nature and children will be encouraged to conduct surveys, research and conduct experiments to understand a concept.

Our education planners and curriculum designers have comprehensive training in pedagogical method and learning theory. The shift they are working towards is an increased emphasis on ‘skill and less on content’. The curriculum we devise, balances factual content with process skills and that are characteristic of a thinking- center curriculum and allows us to create a ‘brain based’ classroom.

Our goal in terms of curriculum is to be forward thinking and outcome based. We will constantly aim for our teachers to be devoted to excellence in classroom instruction and to strive towards creating highly motivated and creative students. Our entire approach will include early intervention, aggressive remediation, one to one tutoring and teamwork by the entire school staff.

Why the difference in curriculum?

Today’s challenges differ from those of former years in many ways and it is our mission ensures that students are prepared for this challenge. We have ‘reconceptualised’ the curriculum to account for the changing needs of students in the ‘knowledge era’.

A curriculum that extends beyond formal learning areas will help learners to develop the capability and the confidence in applying what they know to problem ns issues in a self managed manner

A curriculum framework as this will ensure that knowledge will be relevant to lie beyond the school. Vibgyor High will provide educational experiences that will make learning alive for students. We want all teaching and learning to be infused with passion and enjoyment

Board of Study

Vibgyor High will be affiliated with the ICSE board and an international board. Students in the Pre school, Primary school and Middle school years will follow an integrated curriculum developed by Kare Edumin Pvt Ltd. the ICSE allows individual schools autonomy in the area of curriculum development during these years of schooling. At the very least our curriculum covers the Board requirements. The curriculum developed by KEPL does, however extend beyond the boundaries of required syllabus coverage. Students in the High School Years will either prepare for the ICSE board Examination or an International board Examination.
