Reading and writing
Preparatory · Grades 3 to 5 · Ages 8 – 11
Reading, writing, and the
first real questions.
These are the years where the foundations are set. We teach the CBSE syllabus with care — strong reading, number sense, and the habit of asking why. The day is full but unhurried, and every child is known by name.
