A Wholesome Middle School Experience at Azra Public School
At Azra Public School, we believe that education should equip students for the world beyond the classroom. Our dedicated subject specialists work closely with students to ensure a deep understanding of topics and concepts.
Middle school is a pivotal time for exploration, and we provide numerous opportunities for students to pursue their interests through various clubs and extracurricular activities. This not only helps them develop skills in specific areas but also fosters teamwork, leadership, and creativity. We prioritize a supportive and engaging learning environment where students are encouraged to express themselves and collaborate with peers. Our holistic approach ensures that each child’s journey through middle school is both enriching and enjoyable, preparing them for future academic and personal success.
Comprehensive Language and Literature Curriculum
The curriculum aims to help students explore various types of literature, including prose, poetry, drama, and non-fiction. Our comprehensive language development program includes creative writing, report editing, essay writing, and journaling. Experienced teachers also focus on enhancing students’ grammar and speaking skills.
Engaging Mathematics Learning Experience
Our approach to math is all about inquiry, research, and hands-on activities, focusing on learning through doing. Students participate in various practical exercises that help reinforce math concepts. They use tools like geoboards, integer counters, and algebra tiles to explore properties of 2D shapes, solve linear equations, and practice operations with integers. These engaging activities help clarify concepts and encourage active participation, especially for kinesthetic learners, making math an enjoyable and enriching experience for everyone.
Second Language Options and Learning Approach
Students can choose Hindi, Telugu, or Urdu (in Grade 8) as their second language. We teach these languages using Bloom’s Taxonomy, which means we start with basic skills and gradually move to more advanced ones, from understanding to creative use of the language. As students progress, the skills become more complex. They are encouraged to use extra resources, like library books and other reading materials, to improve their language skills. This helps them express themselves clearly and engage in conversations confidently.
Understanding Our World
an academic discipline that explores the relationships between individuals, societies, and the world. It encompasses various subjects, including history, geography, economics, political science, and sociology. The goal of Social Studies is to help students understand their own cultures and the cultures of others, develop critical thinking skills, and become informed and active citizens. Through the study of Social Studies, students learn about past events, social systems, and global issues, enabling them to engage thoughtfully with the world around them.
Experiential Learning in Science
We teach science by using a hands-on approach where students make predictions, investigate topics, and draw conclusions. This method encourages them to think critically and ask questions. We also focus on experiential learning, which helps students understand scientific concepts and apply them to real-life situations.
Language Curriculum
Urdu is introduced as a third language in Grade 6. Learning a new language involves developing specific skills. At Azra Public School, we focus on building transferable skills within our curriculum to help students become proficient in Urdu more quickly
Communication and Technology in Education
At our school, communication and technology are integrated into all subjects, facilitating easier understanding of concepts. Additionally, computer training equips students with essential digital skills, preparing them for a technology-driven world and enhancing their overall learning experience.
