Curriculum
The Shishu Pahel Paddhati© at the Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) level, is a well-researched methodology developed by AKES,I. Based on the High-Scope international curriculum, it has been adapted to local needs.
The Shishu Pahel Paddhati© emphasises child initiated learning that encourages the child to plan and develop self-paced learning. The classrooms are especially designed to create spaces in which the child experiences the joys of reading, expression, mathematics, music, movement, water and sand play, art and craft. The complete teaching and learning process is child initiated and fun.
At the Primary level, teachers plan and design "Curriculum Webs" to ensure every topic in the curriculum is taught in its entirety and is co-related.
In the Secondary classes, innovative methods and activities are developed to transmit the Maharashtra State prescribed curriculum. Lessons at all levels are facilitated through an integrated curriculum, supplemented by a variety of co-curricular activities, field trips and class projects.
The children participate in number of inter-school activities such as elocutions, debates, science exhibitions, creative writing and the arts.

Education Philosophy
The School believes that:
- Every child is an independent thinker, with an infinite capacity to acquire knowledge
- Given the space, children are capable of constructing activities that lead to effective learning outcomes
- Child-centred education is the achievement of learning outcomes, wherein the pace and content of learning is directed by the child and supported by the facilitator (the teacher)
- Children learn most effectively through collective reflections shared with peers and facilitators and through group discussions.
