Grades 1 and 2: forty minutes, one teacher, and no more than that.
Attention span at six or seven is 30–40 minutes. A 60-minute class is worse teaching, not more of it. So Foundation is a different product, not a smaller one — built around what a six-year-old actually needs to secure.
Fixed weekly slots in the Gulf evening, 4:00–9:30 pm GST — after school, before bedtime.
Four things, done properly.
At this age the syllabus is not the point. The mechanics underneath it are — and they are exactly what a class of forty cannot watch closely enough.
Reading and decoding
Letter sounds and blending in English, matras and conjuncts in Hindi — the mechanics of reading, secured before speed.
Number sense
Counting, place value in tens and ones, and number bonds to 20 done without finger-counting.
Handwriting and letter formation
Formed correctly now, while it is still easy to fix.
Sitting-and-attending stamina
The habit of staying with a task — built gently, forty minutes at a time.
Built for six-year-olds, openly.
The assessment is oral and observational — we watch your child read aloud and count, we never hand a six-year-old a written test.
You sit in for the first two classes, then step out. It's normal at this age, and you should see exactly how we teach.
Friday reports cover habits as much as content — attention, willingness to try, letter formation.
What we deliberately leave out.
Telling you what your child doesn’t need is part of the product.
- No homework checking — there is barely any homework at this age.
- No exam preparation. No syllabus race.
- No more than 12 classes a month, ever.
