Foundation · Grades 1–2

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.

What we teach

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.

How it runs

Built for six-year-olds, openly.

↳ 01

The assessment is oral and observational — we watch your child read aloud and count, we never hand a six-year-old a written test.

↳ 02

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.

↳ 03

Friday reports cover habits as much as content — attention, willingness to try, letter formation.

What we don’t sell

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.
a six-year-old does not need five tuition classes a week — so we don’t sell them
