Children are born explorers. Even as infants, they come to us with all the necessary equipment to be great discovers.

Teaching Methodology

KKEL methodology is based on the Multiple Intelligences Theory which ensures whole- brain learning. The different parts of the brain are used and do not limit any child to a preconceived notion of how smart they are. Our curriculum emphasizes real - life learning not memorization of information. We celebrate learning with our children and let them know that their potential is limitless by incorporating multiple intelligences, interdisciplinary themes and Bloom's Taxonomy.

Beyond Academics

Theme based Special days, Culminating Activities, Dress up Days, Events and Field Trips are organized on regular basis to help children recapitulate and have in depth understanding of the themes/concepts.

Skill Observation and Assessment

Assessment is the process of gathering and analyzing information about children to understand the teaching – learning style. At preschool level it is closely connected to curriculum learning. Teachers observe children, guide their learning and assess their progress. The progress made by the students is shared with the parents during Parent Teacher Meetings that are held four times in an academic session.


Curriculum is designed at developing the intellectual, social, cultural, emotional & physical aspects of a child's personality.

Primary School (Grade I-IV)

We fortify the foundation in the primary years, enabling children to face any examination confidently and come out with flying colours. The curriculum is multi-dimensional in its approach. We organize instructions around themes with broad possibilities, with natural connections to other generative topics.

Teaching Methodology

Children are born explorers. Even as infants, they come to us with all the necessary equipment to be great discoverers: inquisitive eyes, nose, mouth, tongue, lips, ears, fingers and toes. This is how they learn about themselves and their world. Hence, the focus is on experiential learning rather than rote memorization. This is achieved by designing an integrated theme based curriculum which is sequentially developed to increase in complexity. To ensure that each child is impacted, the curriculum caters to diverse learning styles. The curriculum is based on recent brain research developments. In a brain-based instruction, the teacher perceives her role as one who orchestrates experience. It is teaching for active processing rather than direct instruction. The ultimate destination is growth in all facets of a child's personality- Intellect, Attitude and Ability to ensure a happy and productive childhood.

This thought creates the foundation for every stride that BHIS takes while designing the learning experiences for its students. Thus, a methodical approach towards each component crafts an efficient, effective curriculum which very unpretentiously weaves the lofty yet practical goals of education into every explicit and implicit program, such that children see learning areas and subjects as vehicles for understanding the world in which they live - a world which then becomes challenging and worth exploring.
