Learning Approach
Home | Learning Approach
At Learning Paths School, we aim to provide a holistic education for children aged 3 to 6, focusing on cognitive, physical, socio-emotional, and language development. We nurture curiosity, creativity, and a love for learning, building strong literacy and numeracy foundations for future success.
Assessments
Observation Based
At Learning Paths School, our assessments are primarily based on teacher observations. We use worksheets and children’s work to gain insights into their learning progress without the need for explicit testing.
Comprehensive Documentation
We systematically collect and analyse evidence such as observations and children’s created artefacts. Our assessments are natural extensions of learning experiences, designed to avoid placing additional burdens on children.
Holistic Report Card
Our Holistic Report Card at the foundational level offers a comprehensive view of a student’s development. This report goes beyond mere academic performance, encompassing social, emotional, physical, and practical aspects of their growth. We believe in nurturing well-rounded individuals who excel in all facets of life, ensuring a balanced and enriching educational experience.
Age-Appropriate Curriculum
The curriculum is tailored to cater to different age groups, recognizing that children progress through various developmental stages. This approach ensures that the learning experiences are age-appropriate and aligned with children’s needs and abilities.
Learning Approach
Incorporation of Educational Philosophies
Project Method
Incorporating John Dewey’s philosophy, this approach emphasizes hands-on, experiential learning that brings real-life experiences into the classroom. It promotes independent thinking, problem-solving, and active engagement in learning.
Multiple Intelligence
Drawing from Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences, the curriculum acknowledges that children have diverse strengths and talents. It provides opportunities for children to explore and develop their unique intelligence, fostering personalized and meaningful learning experiences.
Play Way
Rooted in Friedrich Froebel’s Kindergarten system, this approach recognizes the importance of play in early childhood education. It views play as a means for children to express themselves, learn, and develop social and motor skills.
Montessori Method
Dr. Montessori’s approach emphasizes self-directed learning, independence, and a carefully prepared environment. It encourages children to explore and learn at their own pace while fostering self-discipline and a love for knowledge.
Theme-Based Model
The use of themes in the curriculum aligns with the idea that children learn by forming patterns and connections. Themes provide a framework for organizing and associating new information, enhancing cognitive development.
Development of Key Skills
Motor Skills
The curriculum focuses on both gross and fine motor skills, recognizing their importance in a child’s physical development.
Personal Awareness Skills
These skills encompass aspects of independence, safety, hygiene, and self-help, ensuring that children develop essential life skills.

The curriculum emphasizes the development of social and emotional skills, including self-esteem, empathy, and a sense of community.
Speech and Language Skills
Early language development is a priority, with a focus on effective communication and vocabulary acquisition.
Cognitive Skills
