Next Education follows a constructivist
approach to learning

Explain

Learners have opportunities to verbalise their conceptual understanding and demonstrate newly acquired skills

Explore

Learners actively explore their environment and experiment with materials to identify concepts and develop skills

Engage

Learners engage in the process of acquiring skills and concepts by making connections between past and present learning experiences

Elaborate

Through new experiences, learners develop deeper and broader understanding of major concepts, obtain more information on their areas of interest, and refine their skills

Evaluate

Enables learners to assess their understanding of concepts and abilities and helps teachers to gauge students understanding of key concepts and their skill development

Well-researched curriculum is combined with multi-faceted pedagogy to create our academic solutions

Preschool Curriculum

Play and Learn - Learn and Play

Pre-primary education ensures a smooth transition to primary education and lays the foundation for lifelong learning. It is universally acknowledged to reduce drop-out rates in formal education.

Philosophy

NextPlay is a quality pre-primary education which is based on play and hands-on learning and caters to early-age curiosity is the need of the hour. It is based on multiple proven research methodologies from around the globe.

Focus

NextPlay curriculum takes an integrated learning approach to ensure balanced development in the five key domains of learning, namely, Cognitive, Emotional, Linguistic, Social and Physical, in a pre-schooler.

Approach

Audiovisual integration with books: Integration of TeachNext makes characters from the books come alive and makes abstract concepts meaningful.

Age-appropriate progression: It is in sync with the various stages of growth and development of a child.

Real-life connect: It is designed keeping in mind a child's environment so that abstract concepts can be understood easily by them.

Integrated approach: It integrates two or more concepts to teach a skill, enabling children to make meaningful connections.

Multiple learning opportunities: Books, various activities and interactive audiovisual modules engage children in the learning process

Primary and Middle School Curriculum

Learning to construct knowledge

Primary and Middle School education helps build a connection between the environment and the information imparted to the students. When students learn through experiences, they become architects of their knowledge and develop a love for learning.

Philosophy

The aim is to shift from teacher-centric to child-centric approach, making the child the centre of learning, with the teacher acting as a facilitator. The teacher is a passive observer, giving the child the required space to learn and grow at his or her own pace and develop a love for learning.

Focus

Our curriculum is based on thematic approach and carries a real-life connect with the learners' environment to make learning an engaging and effective experience.

Approach

Thematic learning: Stories, poems, plays, non-fiction and infographics are organised around clearly defined age-appropriate themes.

Interdisciplinary learning: Revisits a concept or skill from different perspectives and takes learning beyond subject boundaries, so that students can make connections between different areas of learning. This greatly improves the cognitive process.

Caters to multiple intelligences: It is important to use activities and tools that are most suitable for each student. It provides activities and projects which help in experiential learning as well as in development of skills that are not innate in the student.

Enquiry-based approach: Enquiry-based learning starts by posing questions, problems or scenarios and involves self-directed Enquiry or research by the student. This encourages critical thinking.

Secondary and Senior Secondary School Curriculum

Raising the bar to meet future challenges

Secondary and Senior Secondary School education prepares students to confidently face future challenges of higher education and professional life.

Philosophy

An ideal senior secondary curriculum should ensure a learner’s holistic development and prepare them to confidently meet the challenges of higher education. Mindful of the importance of this responsibility, our educational solutions are designed to maximise the output of the learning process, to ensure clarity of concepts,enhance critical-thinking skills and independent research abilities, and above all make them future-ready

Focus

The analytical approach of the curriculum prepares students to meet the requirements of higher education. Our global curriculum is a blend of local contexts and world-class teaching methodologies.

Approach

Age-appropriate: Even with a move up the grades, the basis of the curriculum remains the same. The lessons become more complex and more abstract concepts are taught knowing that the learners will be able to grasp them. The medium of teaching-learning shifts from the kinaesthetic towards the visual and the aural, having been able to make kinaesthetic learners receptive to the visual and auditory styles of learning. The concepts, whether in maths or science are not as based on real-life application as in the lower grades. More theories , jargons and technical terms are introduced.

Self-learning: We understand the necessity and benefits of supplementing classroom education with self-learning in higher-grades. We therefore have LearnNext+, our self-learning solution that helps learners develop the practice of self-learning, a habit which will greatly assist them in their future academic life where the role of the teacher would be that of a facilitator.

Smooth progression: Next Education curriculum solutions ensure smooth progression of concepts across grades. To take the example of maths, linear equations in algebra are introduced in the 6th grade, expanded upon in the 7th and graphical representation is taught in the 9th grade. Care is taken to introduce themes that are more organised.
