Rooted in experiential learning, independent thinking, and holistic growth, our approach ensures that students excel both inside and outside the classroom.

We place equal emphasis on ethical, rational, and creative thinking, preparing students for problem-solving with confidence and clarity.

Our curriculum is aligned with the 4Cs of 21st-century skills:

The 4Is of NEP 2020 in Action:
We bring the 4 Is of NEP into every classroom experience:

• Integration – connecting knowledge across subjects and real-life contexts
• Inclusion – ensuring learning for every child, respecting diversity and uniqueness

We are committed to shaping well-rounded, future-ready individuals who will lead with knowledge, compassion, and purpose.

Montessori Program – Building Strong Foundations

Our Montessori program creates a nurturing environment where young learners develop independence, confidence, and curiosity during their most formative years. With thoughtfully designed materials and activities, children build both fine motor skills and cognitive abilities, laying a strong foundation for future learning. Children refine their coordination and dexterity through practical life activities such as pouring, buttoning, threading, and spooning, which strengthen small muscle control and hand–eye coordination. Sensorial tools like knobbed cylinders and puzzles sharpen precision, while early literacy materials such as sandpaper letters and tracing exercises prepare children for confident writing. These activities not only build fine motor skills but also instill independence and confidence in everyday tasks. Montessori learning emphasizes a multi-sensory, experiential approach. Children explore concepts concretely before moving to abstract understanding—whether in math, language, or science. Activities like sequencing, classification, and problem-solving nurture logical reasoning, focus, and memory. Self-correcting materials encourage independence, while group storytelling and discussions enhance communication, creativity, and imagination. By engaging in purposeful, hands-on learning, children at Smrti Academy develop not just academic readiness, but also resilience, concentration, and a genuine love for discovery. The program ensures a smooth transition into Primary School, with children already equipped with the skills, confidence, and curiosity to thrive.

Primary School (Grades 1–5)

The Primary years at our school are a time of exploration, discovery, and growth. We believe that this stage lays the cornerstone for a child’s future learning journey, and we nurture both intellectual curiosity and personal development with equal care. Students engage with Languages, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies, building a firm academic foundation while also learning to question, reason, and think independently. Opportunities in arts, sports, music, dance, and co-curricular pursuits ensure that creativity, expression, and physical well-being flourish alongside academics. What makes our Primary program distinctive is its emphasis on balanced learning. Children are encouraged to collaborate, communicate with confidence, and embrace challenges as opportunities. With values woven into every aspect of school life, they grow not only as learners but also as compassionate, responsible individuals. The result is a vibrant, supportive environment where children develop into curious thinkers, empathetic peers, and joyful learners who are prepared to move forward with confidence.

Middle School (Grades 6–8)

The Middle School years mark an important transition from foundational learning to concept-driven understanding. At this stage, students are encouraged to move beyond memorization and engage with subjects through critical thinking, analysis, and inquiry-based exploration. Our program is designed to strengthen academic rigor while fostering independence, self-discipline, and responsibility. Learners are guided to take greater ownership of their education, gradually stepping into the path of self-learning and developing skills that prepare them for the challenges of higher classes. Through a balanced curriculum, children refine their abilities in problem-solving, research, collaboration, and communication. They are also exposed to diverse co-scholastic opportunities that nurture creativity, leadership, and resilience—ensuring they grow into confident, well-rounded individuals.

The curriculum emphasizes deep subject mastery, critical inquiry, and analytical problem-solving, while also encouraging students to explore research, innovation, and independent learning. Alongside academics, learners are offered leadership opportunities, community engagement, and co-curricular enrichment, nurturing responsibility, resilience, and ethical decision-making.
