Academics
we emphasize holistic education, following books from Chrysalis Publications, one of the leading names in educational content. These books encourage students to delve deeper into concepts with approaches such as "Look Beyond," "Look Around," "Think and Ink," "Look Within," and engaging PEP activities. These methods empower students to relate their classroom learning to the real world, fostering critical thinking and application.
Nurturing Holistic Learners
We also incorporate meaningful classroom routines like "Choose Your Greetings," "Appreciation and Apology," the "Gratitude Box," "Minutes of Mindfulness," and "What Went Well." These practices support students' social-emotional learning, teaching them empathy, reflection, and positivity.
Respectful listening and self-restraint are nurtured through activities like "Don't Speak Twice," "Draw This," and "My Favorite Toss," while language development is enhanced with "Word Wall Shuffle" and "Reading Recap," which help improve word recognition and vocabulary retention. Our speaking activities, including "Tell Me About Yourself," "Show and Tell," "Just a Minute," and "Tongue Twisters," allow children to build confidence in speaking and conversing in English.
To expand vocabulary and spelling skills, we engage students with "Spelling Bee" and "Vivid Writing."
In mathematics, tools such as "Calendar Talk," "Number Talk," "Information Gap," "Multiplication Shuffle," and "Make 11" encourage a strong number sense, flexibility in problem-solving, and collaborative peer learning.
At our school, we believe that learning should be an interactive, dynamic process that connects academic knowledge with real-world experiences, while fostering emotional intelligence and communication skills.

Every month, we host Bravo Blitz, an inter-school competition with categories in art, academics, and fitness, where winners are awarded certificates.

We also believe in fostering family involvement through our Family Show, held one Saturday each month. This event allows parents to engage with their children in fun activities, giving them an opportunity to better understand and be part of their child’s learning journey.
At Joy School, we believe that learning extends beyond the classroom, providing a rich environment for children to explore, create, and grow.
Extra Circular Activities such as Games, Art & Craft, Taekwondo and Dance are taught to the kids.
Our Key Activities
Pre Primary | Description |
|---|---|
Early Childhood assessment is a process of gathering information about a child, reviewing the information, and then using the information to plan educational activities that are at a level the child can understand and is able to learn from.
Assessment is a critical part of early childhood program. When educators do an assessment, they observe a child to get information about what he/she knows and what he/ she can do. Assessment provides educators, parents, and families with critical information about a child’s development and growth. Observing and documenting a child’s work and performance over the course of a year allows teachers and parents to accumulate a record of the child’s growth and development. With this information, we can begin to plan appropriate methods, strategies and effective individualized instructions for each child.
I CAN is a Formative Assessment tool designed for Pre-Primary. I CAN purpose is to allow the child to express, share and apply the concepts learnt in a positive, friendly and a comfortable environment. I CAN is conducted on five main domains of early childhood education.
1. Language and literacy development
2. Cognition and general knowledge (including early mathematics and early scientific development)
3. Approaches toward learning
4. Physical well-being and motor development
5. Social and emotional development
This assessment is conducted while child is in his/her best mood and willing to share and express.Parents take time and assess the child using formative assessment tool - I CAN.
Before every task the learning outcomes are specified and every section has rubrics.
The second part and the crucial part of I CAN is the Parent Teacher interaction. During this Teacher and Parent will discuss the I CAN and talk about the child’s development and create a progressive plan. | |

We follow Chrysalis publication Books. Here the books are called Studio and companion. When it comes to Textbooks vs Studio, Chrysalis studios are way ahead. Regular textbooks are filled with chunks of texts with no activities. The questions in classroom textbooks are such that they promote rote learning. But that's not the case with Chrysalis studios. The information is presented through colourful images and activities so students understand and retain what they've learned. Sub-activities and questions ensure that concepts are thoroughly understood. In Thinkroom studio, plain text is minimal and they look like colourful comics that students will be eager to pick up even when they are not in the classroorn. Simple and easy to understand, skill building studios take care of knowledge, understanding, application, and skill which are the basis of any standardised test.
Uniqueness of Chrysalis Studios
Encourages students to think logically, creatively, and critically. Every student gets to develop and showcase their thinking, expressions, talent and skills in their Studio.
The Studio offers a beautiful canvas for our students to showcase their learning and understanding. Filled with fun and colourful pictures, ThinkRoom books, called the Studio, are designed based on deep pedagogical research. Every activity in the studio is carefully chosen, designed and aligned to grade-appropriate learning outcomes.
