Curriculum

Vidya Sagar Academy aims at creating our community for better future. Towards this, the school has designed a suitable curriculum with the knowledge and skills required to play an effective role in future society. To achieve these objectives, the curriculum at Vidya Sagar Academy follows the principles of integrated education. Integrated education is one that enables students.

To weave the development of their physical self with the development of their mind, the emotional, social and inner self.

To make connections between different forms of knowledge, self-development and creative expressions.

Formal and informal opportunities are provided for students to appreciate the relationships between inside and out side the classroom learning experiences. Linkages are made between the acquisition of language and arts, science and reasoning, mathematics and experimentation, creative expressions and communication skills. Students weave in and aut of academic classes and non academic classes that include the performing arts, the visual arts, the fine arts and sports. With the support of their teachers, students identify pieces of the jigsaw puzzles that constitute knowledge and personal development.

The outcome is the nurturing of the “Whole person ‘who seeks to learn, to think critically, to relate, to create and to choose with maturity and concern for others. In other words, the development of the individual child who is in tune with her own thinking and creative self as she is with the development of the world around her.

“The first principle of true teaching is that nothing can be thought. The teacher is not an instructor or taskmaster, he is a helper and guide. His business is to suggest and not to impost. He does not actually train the pupil’s mind, he only shows him how to perfect his instrument of knowledge and helps and encourages him in the process. He does not impart knowledge to him, he shows him how to acquire knowledge for himself. He only shows him where it lies and how it can be habituated to rise to the surface. The distinction that resources this principle for the teaching of adolescent and adult minds and devise its application to the child is a conservative and unintelligent doctrine”.
