Primary

The Primary Program at 21K School is designed for learners aged 6 to 11 years (Grades 1 to 5), a crucial stage in their personal, social, and academic growth. Rooted in the National Curriculum Framework (NCF), the program follows a competency-based approach that focuses on developing knowledge, skills, values, and real-world application. Learning experiences are thoughtfully designed using the 5E instructional model—Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate—and are grounded in learning science principles such as inquiry, active engagement, experiential learning, reflection, and feedback. Learning is further enriched through interdisciplinary projects that connect concepts across subjects and promote deeper understanding. Through a curriculum that is both challenging and creative, learners are provided with clear goals that foster curiosity, focus, and motivation, enabling them to reach their full potential.
