1.  ACADEMICS

                 a)  NMAJS Curriculum Pathways

                     ●   Nursery, LKG and UKG – follow the IB PYP Early Years Framework*
                        and Classes I to V - follow the IB PYP Framework*

                        Within  the  PYP  framework,  we  integrate  the  core  subjects  of
                        English,  Mathematics,  Science  and  Social  Studies  along  with
                        Music,  Art,  Physical  education,  Dance  and  Drama  to  create  the
                        holistic foundation of our programme. Digital learning is woven
                        throughout  our  programme  and  across  disciplines.  Through  a
                        transdisciplinary  approach,  the  acquisition  of  knowledge,
                        development of conceptual understanding and mastery of skills,
                        our learners build a strong basis within and across disciplines. The 6
                        IB PYP transdisciplinary themes allow for the NMAJS curriculum
                        to contextualise learning in meaningful ways.
                        In Nursery and LKG the children explore 4 units, in UKG they explore
                        5 of the 6, and from Class I, all 6 transdisciplinary themes are covered.

                     ●   Classes VI to VIII - follow the IB MYP 1-3 Framework*

                        The  Middle  Years  Programme  (MYP)  at  NMAJS  comprises  MYP
                        1 to 3, i.e. equivalent to Classes VI to VIII (MYP).
                        MYP is an interdisciplinary programme driven by a conceptual and
                        contextual focused curriculum, building on the concepts and skills
                        learnt in the Primary Years Programme (PYP).

                        The MYP provides a structure of learning, encouraging students to
                        continue as creative, critical and reflective thinkers. By learning
                        languages and about their culture, students begin to develop the
                        foundation of international mindedness which is an integral part of
                        MYP.  The  emphasis  on  multilingualism  allows  for  openminded
                        thinking  and  effective  communication.  The  Programme  is
                        intellectually  challenging  and  encourages  students  to  make
                        connections between the subjects and the real world. It fosters the
                        development  of  intercultural  understanding  and  global
                        citizenship, which are essential for life in the 21st century.
