    What Grade 4 Families Are Saying

    Real parents, real children, real results from our Grade 4 programme.

    ★★★★★

    "My son went from dreading word problems to solving multi-step questions independently in under six months. The facilitator doesn't just teach maths — she teaches him to think. That's a completely different thing."

    Sunita K.
    Hyderabad, Telangana · Grade 4
    ★★★★★

    "We were worried about socialisation, but our daughter has more meaningful friendships through 21K than at her previous school. The group projects create real collaboration. The Cambridge curriculum is genuinely world-class."

    Priya & Arun B.
    Singapore · Grade 4
    ★★★★★

    "The parent dashboard is incredible — I can see exactly where my child stands academically, what topics were covered today, and get facilitator feedback every week. We're genuinely part of his learning journey, not just observers."

    Arjun M.
    Pune, Maharashtra · Grade 4
    ★★★★★

    "My daughter used to be so shy she wouldn't answer questions in class. In Grade 4 at 21K, she presented her science project to the whole group — unprompted. The small class size genuinely changes everything about a child's confidence."

    Kavitha Menon
    Chennai, Tamil Nadu · Grade 4
    ★★★★★

    "We relocated from Bangalore to Dubai mid-year. 21K made it completely seamless — same class, same facilitator, zero disruption. I don't think any traditional school could have offered that. It's the single biggest advantage of this format."

    Ritu & Vikram S.

    Common Questions

    Grade 4 Learning FAQs

    Everything parents ask before enrolling their 9–10 year old in Grade 4.

    What subjects are taught in Grade 4?
    +

    Grade 4 learners study English Language & Literature, Mathematics, Science/Environmental Studies, Social Studies (CBSE), Hindi or Second Language, Computer Science, Art & Craft, Physical Education, and Life Skills. Subjects vary slightly by curriculum pathway.

    Why is Grade 4 a critical year for learning?
    +

    Grade 4 is a critical academic year for learners because they shift from "learning to read" to "reading to learn." Children become independent thinkers and build foundational math skills.

    How many hours per day will my child spend online?
    +

    Students have 4 to 5 hours of structured live classes per day that are generally spread across subjects with short breaks in between.

    Learners also get purposeful home practice tasks 30 minutes daily. Self-paced LMS activities are additional but flexible.

    Will my child get individual attention with 15 students per class?
    +

    Yes, a maximum of 15 learners per batch is small in size which helps in getting more attention by facilitators. Small batch helps in:

    • tracking individual progress
    • notice learning gaps early
    • tailor learning strategies.
    How is my child assessed in Grade 4?
    +

    In Grade 4 assessment is continuous and multi-dimensional. It mainly includes:

    • formative quizzes (40%)
    • class participation (10%
    • term assessments (30%)
    • STEAM project work (20%)
    • ongoing portfolios

    We don't rely on a single end-of-year exam and provide monthly reports of their child performance.
