Academic Curriculum

Academic

Education is knowledge imbued with wisdom and ethics which mould the behaviour and personality of the students. The focus on value education still remains strong in TKC. The students imbibe the essential qualities of honesty, fair play, empathy, courage, integrity, compassion, loyalty and courtesy through morning assemblies, celebration of festivals and day-to-day interaction with the teachers. The effort is to guide the students towards appropriate behaviour and development of a strong character.

Pre-Primary - Curriculum

The Pre-Primary Wing of TKC World School, Tezpur, has Nursery and Kindergarten classes.‘The innovative curriculum for the Pre-Primary’ published by the Council for Educational and Professional Services (CEPS) is in use with the objective of reinforcing values, concepts, ideas, skills and activities.

Primary & Middle School Curriculum

The Primary Education module is designed to follow the axiom “Discovering the syllabus is more important than covering it”. We believe that the student should have mental access to assimilation along with physical access to learning. In accordance, the working schedules of classes I and II have been designed in such a way that they have ‘short respite’ periods after every 45 minutes of learning. This helps them to come back ready and refreshed for the next session of classroom learning. The concept of ‘classroom library’ (for classes I to V) gives the students direct access to books in their own classroom. Every day after assembly, 10 minutes of reading time enhances and enriches their language skills. Children idolize their teachers to capitalize on this. Every day there is ‘Guru Vani’ wherein a teacher expresses her thoughts on any topic through stories, anecdotes, etc.
