MODERN VIDYA NIKETAN SCHOOL, ARAVALI HILLS
“Education, as a planned endeavour, at a personal level on a small scale or institutional level on a large scale, aims at making children capable of becoming active, responsible, productive and caring members of society. They are made familiar with the various practices of the community by imparting the relevant skills and ideas. The goal of education is to encourage the students to analyse and evaluate their experiences, to ponder and enquire; to be inquisitive and to think independently.”The aim of education is not just to let learners obtain basic knowledge but to make them life-long learners. It is to nurture future citizens who are mentally and physically robust, assertive, confident, empathetic and helpful to the community. They are trained to be intellectually inquisitive and reflexive, develop creative vision and global perspective and accept their moral responsibilities. It lays the foundation of their life; preparing them to handle varieties of challenges in life. Our curriculum is very comprehensive, giving due importance to both Scholastic as well as Co-Scholastic areas to nurture the holistic development of the students.
‘Education here refers to experiential learning ... where knowledge comes with practical understanding.’
These are the foundational years of a child from 4 to 10 years that establish a child’s trajectory for all his/her endeavours.
We support the unfolding of children’s spatial, interpersonal and intrapersonal skills and introduce them to the full range of learning areas viz. Languages, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Physical Education andPerforming and Visual Art.
The components are designed to nurture multiple intelligences including emotional and social periphery.
The true mission of Primary education is to create forever learners.
Language – All form of linguistic learning from listening and speaking to reading and writing are encaptured. These skills are fostered through lecture, play way and interactive methods. Love for reading and adoration for writing leads to proficiency in communication as well as making them confident orators.
Mathematics – Briefly described as ‘Poetry of Logic’, it is inculcated in various learning by doing methodologies making it a window to decipher the physical world which needs problem solving logistics as they grow. Blocks, beads, puzzles, quiz and spatial environment makes it a world they love to inhabit.
Science – The goal of the sensorial curriculum is to lead children through measured progression of understanding from abstract to the concrete. Children love to explore natural phenomena and use hypothesis in their innocent evaluation of data, critical thinking and natural curiosity from the crux of this learning.
Social Science – A world that they are surrounded with and the world away from their vicinity both form the social fabric of family, community and cultural vibe. The students learn about their community and the history they’ve been shaped from, the geography through cartography and globes and the system of governance nurturing their awareness. They are taught how they are miniscule inhabitants of this only living planet.
Computer Science – The world of IT is introduced to these little learners who will be the forerunners of the tech-world. They are made Tech Savvy through live demonstration of gadgets and digitally designed Language and Laptop labs. The management incorporates tests, research-based apps and websites to hone their critical thinking and problem solving skills in several learning areas.
Physical Education - The school holds physical education at the core of their curriculum for the primary level and lays emphasis on learning through indoor and outdoor activities that allow children to run, jump, climb and explore, making them psychologically, physically and kinesthetically developed. Children are encouraged to improve their fitness levels, including muscular and cardiovascular endurance, strength and flexibility. Consistent effort is made to instil the importance of communication, collaboration, resilience, honesty, mutual respect, leadership and perseverance among the students.
Performing and Visual Arts - Through the Performing Arts, children learn to communicate effectively and connect with others intellectually and emotionally. They encourage a child to explore their emotions, expanding their imagination and developing their personality. Visual Art brings out their creativity hence improving their articulation, motor and presentation skills.
This curriculum is designed to integrate the learning of Forever Learners paving the path for their Middle School and High School learning, as we believe that ‘The expert in anything was once a beginner.’
The curriculum is designed to address seven core areas of learning viz. Languages, Humanities, Mathematics, Science and Technology, Health and Physical Education, Visual Arts, Performing Arts and Computer Science.

7. The courses in Computer Science take a wide lens by covering topics such as problem solving, programming, physical computing, user-centred design, and data, while inspiring students as they build their own websites, apps, games, and physical computing devices.
These seven learning areas are integrated with each other in terms of knowledge, skills (life and livelihood), comprehension, values and attitudes. Learners get opportunities to connect between different areas of knowledge and application. They are encouraged to cognize and appreciate the interconnectedness of all knowledge and the enduring connection between knowledge and values.
The curriculum aims to enhance cognitive skills, self-awareness and explore innate potential. It also focuses on imbibing literacy and life skills. It also envisions holistic personality development of students by promoting physical fitness and cultural growth.
The COVID pandemic has presented us with an unprecedented and challenging scenario. With lockdown and suspension of physical schooling, online education became the need of the hour. Technology has, in fact, revolutionized the entire education sector, be it from students or educators’ point of view.
