curriculum
The curriculum at Inventure Academy cultivates new ways of thinking, seeing and processing ideas in children’s minds. Taking best practices from both contemporary as well as traditional tenets of education, we have custom-created a programme that is highly experiential, contextual, activity-oriented and based on multidisciplinary teaching approaches.
Inventure Academy is an international school, and we follow the guidelines set by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) & Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) Boards of Education. CISCE offers ICSE and ISC examinations, and CIE offers the Cambridge International Primary Assessment Test (CIPAT) Checkpoint, IGCSE & AS/A level exams.
We recognize that children learn and express their intelligence in several ways beyond the conventional ones of the linguistic and mathematical. We provide opportunities for the exploration, demonstration and honing of these Multiple Intelligences (MI). The Theory of Constructivism, which advocates experiential learning, informs our enquiry-led model. For younger children, we follow the principles of Differentiated Learning. Therefore, what our children learn, how they learn, and the ways in which they articulate their learning are influenced by each child’s own pace of absorption, readiness, interests and strengths. This is in keeping with the fundamental belief that drives all that we do at Inventure Academy – that every child is unique.
At the Primary level, we follow an integrated curriculum based on NCERT (National Council of Education Research and Training) and the Cambridge International Primary Programme (CIPP) guidelines.
In Middle School we follow an experiential, enquiry-based approach, with a curriculum based on guidelines provided by the ICSE & IGCSE. Children are encouraged to explore subjects in depth, and in parallel, which often culminates in integrated projects.
In Secondary & Senior Secondary School, academic rigour, varied prescribed reading and supervised forays into the internet stimulate, synthesise and co-ordinate learning. Students are guided in their preparations for their ICSE, IGCSE and A/AS level board exams.
Inventure Academy has a specialized strategy to nurture the potential and intellectual abilities of students with Special Education Needs (SEN). Based on ongoing observations, and formal and informal assessments, an Individualized Education Plan(IEP) is drawn up by special educators for each child, keeping in mind his / her strengths and developmental needs. Accordingly, students attend the Learning Lab or are placed in the Accelerated Learning Programme or English as a Second Language programme.
