Parent Stories
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."

Common Questions
Questions parents ask about Grade 4
Everything parents ask before enrolling their 9–10 year old in Grade 4.
What subjects are taught in Grade 4?
Our designed curriculum generally prefers subjects that support overall growth. It includes English Language & Literature, Mathematics, Science/Environmental Studies, Social Studies (CBSE), Hindi or Second Language, Computer Science, Art & Craft, Physical Education, and Life Skills. However, it also depends on the choice of curriculum.
Why is Grade 4 a critical year for learning?
Children learn new things at every stage of their academic journey, and Grade 4 is one of them, as it is a critical year for learning because they shift from "learning to read" to "reading to learn.” They also focus on basic maths and independent learning.
How many hours per day will my child spend online?
As per Grade 4, a child needs to sit for 4 to 5 hours of structured live classes per day. However, it includes fun activities and short breaks. They also get 30 minutes of homework daily.
Will my child get individual attention with 15 students per class?
Yes, 21K School offers small batch size options so that your child gets more attention in the classroom. In a batch of 15 learners, it becomes easy to track individual progress, notice learning gaps early, and tailor learning strategies.
How is my child assessed in Grade 4?
Instead of one final report, our Grade 4 5-layer assessment system includes: formative quizzes (40%), class participation (10%), term assessments (30%), STEAM project work (20%), and ongoing portfolios.
Can my child join Grade 4 mid-year from another school?
Definitely, but families who are willing to enrol mid-year need to check vacancy and admission-related information by connecting with our experts to get guidance.
What if my child is shy or struggles with online participation?
Some children, especially at the start, feel shy or struggle with online participation, which is completely normal. Our expert facilitators help them by making small efforts to help them feel comfortable. Some key tools one can access are: Chat-box responses, using private chat, and One-on-one virtual calls.
Is online school too much screen time for a 9–10 year old?
We always focus on creating an environment where learners engage with screen time in a purposeful and structured manner to avoid excessive engagement. With regular breaks and offline activities, we create a barrier to help learners for minimal screen time.
We're relocating internationally — can my child continue?
Yes, a child can continue with 21K School because our classes are designed to be learned from anywhere. Learners across 78+ countries can access it without challenges or disputes. We also provide time slots for flexible learning.
Can we try a Grade 4 class before committing?
Yes. Families often ask for a trial, and we offer a free trial class with no commitment to let them decide freely after experiencing the learning environment. Families can also access a free learning assessment and academic counsellor consultation to make the right decision. Families can also get the facility of a 7-day full refund guarantee on tuition if needed.
How does 21K School prepare Grade 4 learners for Grade 5 and middle school?
At 21K use the 5+3+3+4 education framework to prepare learners for upper grades like Grade 5 and middle school. Our customised curriculum focuses on project-based and competency-based learning in the classroom.
