Saffron Curriculum

Saffron Curriculum

A child’s first experiences of school are some of the most important experiences in life, setting an approach to learning that can become a lifetime’s habit. Children need to feel safe, and have classrooms that combine wonder and energy and foster a tone that allows even the most quiet and sensitive child an equal opportunity to interact with teachers, assistants and fellow students.

The early childhood years focus on learning through experience, interaction and inquiry. Classrooms are vibrant and colorful centres of happy activity. At Saffron we provide education with an objective to empower students to make decisions, to find creative solutions and plan effective action strategies. The curriculum is structured in a manner that keeps the child in touch with the ever-changing world trends, right from the junior years to the senior level. We constantly revamp, reinvent and evaluate the classroom and teaching strategy.
