At Laurels International School, we have adopted S. Chand Publishing’s Solid Steps curriculum for Grades 1 to 5, and the Learning Ladders program for higher grades, to provide a comprehensive and engaging learning experience. These curricula are meticulously designed to align with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2023, emphasizing foundational literacy, numeracy, and holistic development.

Solid Steps Curriculum (Grades 1-5):

The Solid Steps program is tailored for students in Grades 1 to 5, covering subjects such as English, Hindi, Mathematics, General Awareness, Computer Science, and Art & Crafts. It integrates activity-based and play-based learning, fostering ethics, collaborative learning, human values, and real-life connections to subjects. This approach promotes structured learning, conceptual understanding, and cognitive and emotional growth.

Learning Ladders Program (Higher Grades):

For higher grades, the Learning Ladders program offers a unique online and in-class teaching, assessment, and parental engagement system. It brings together students, teachers, and parents to create a cohesive learning environment. The program emphasizes formative assessment, allowing for actionable conversations about progress and enabling teachers to tailor instruction to each student’s needs.
