Rabibhawan, KathmanduJunior Elementary (Grades 1 – 4)
EXPLORE, DISCOVER, UNDERSTAND
At Nisarga Batika School, the Junior Elementary School students are encouraged to continue their exploration to individualized growth and goals. With optimized teachers to class size, the junior elementary school provides an environment to identify individual needs and make individual assessment.
It is a foundation stage for every student as they move through junior elementary, senior elementary, high school, and eventually, on to college. Here the foundation for the child is set, lifelong friendships are made, and the child explores academics, culture, languages, sports, music, arts, environment and much more.
We understand that each student is different, no two students learn in the same way or at the same pace. Our junior elementary is about more than academic success – we aim to provide an integrated development with individualized education in a holistic approach, that nurtures creativity, supports curiosity and fosters leadership and teamwork. Junior elementary at Nisarga Batika provides a collaborative environment, self-learning and self-assessment opportunities for children in secure and comfortable classrooms.
Core Subject Areas
Two grade teachers for each classroom lead the integration of Social Studies and culture with other academic subjects. Through project-based learning and paced integration of technology, students are trained as today’s learners.
The classrooms provide a collaborative learning environment and are highly interactive across every core subject area including but not limited to:
- Mathematics
- Science
- Social Studies
- English
- Foreign language (Mandarin Chinese)
- Technology
Areas of Focus
Enquiry skills
Children learn to ask relevant questions, investigate and find solutions.
Reasoning skills
Children are encouraged to give reasons for their opinions, use correct language to explain what they think and make judgements and decisions by reason and evidence
Creative thinking skills
Gradually, students will learn to generate and play with ideas, apply imagination to their thinking, and look for alternative explanations and ideas.
Evaluation skills
An important part of the process of learning at this stage is for children to apply their judgement, evaluate ideas and practice being self-critical and self-connecting.
Thematic Approach
The junior elementary students also benefit from a unified teaching model to explore many subject areas using the thematic approach.
Activities such as music, art, performing arts, projects, and field trips are integrated with core academic subject areas. They explore, discover and understand. Students understand how subjects, skills and the world are connected and learn how things are related to family, community, and the world around them.
In each grade, subjects revolve around a theme that focuses on analytical thinking, problem-solving and decision making. We believe this supports and helps young minds to sense, experience and understand the world.
Program Highlights
Small class size
With a student-teacher ratio of 15:1 throughout junior elementary school, we aim to cater to individual learning and unique abilities.
Thematic approach
The integration of various subjects through a common theme allows students to understand the relationship between different subjects. Students interpret their learning through group or individual projects.
Beyond academics
To support and reinforce core curriculum, junior elementary students have the opportunity to participate in sports, music, dance, art and other activities which stimulate growth while they discover their talent and above all enjoy their educational experience.
Technology integration
Using computers, the students develop technological literacy while discovering new tools for exploring and problem-solving.
