Educating the
Mind & the Heart
At SAPIENS School of Learning, we have curated a unique dual integrated curriculum to support the development of both, the Mind and the Heart of a child. We are proud to have established Kharadi's 1st pre-school affiliation with Cambridge for academic learning and India's first Emotional Intelligence integrated curriculum.
The Cambridge advantage in Inspiring Intelligence

A holistic and balanced curriculum, engaging classroom resources, assessment approaches to measure learners’ progress, and professional development opportunities. Teaching and learning is play-based and child-centred, and focuses on building learners’ skills and confidence in key developmental areas
The programme builds on these key principles:
-
Experience
Learning should complement the social and cultural factors (like experiences of home and community) that shape a child’s learning and development. -
Active
Children should be involved in their own learning through well-planned experiences that help them develop competence, agency, emotional attachment and self-worth. -
Balance
Learning should encourage an appropriate balance of physical, cognitive, language and communications, and social and emotional development. -
Play
Learning should be age appropriate, play-based and child centred. It should include both child- and adult-led activities. -
Transition
Early years education should help children transition successfully to primary school, moving from informal, play-based learning to teaching that is more formal.
The Cambridge Early Years curriculum offers a holistic approach that focuses on the whole child and connects their development with the world and people around them.
-
Communication, language & literacy

Mathematics
Recognise and talk about patterns in the environment.. -
Personal, social & emotional development

Physical development

Understanding the world
Follow instructions to grow plants from seeds and talk about their observations as the plants grow.
How the SAPIENS approach helps shape strong characters
All types of intelligence - including logic, emotion, language, imagery and intuition - are served by whole brain synergy. In order for kids, youth and adults to succeed in today's ultra-competitive, fast-paced and globally-connected world, one requires the synergistic 'whole brain' skills of Consciousness Quotient!
The programme builds on these key principles:
-
Creativity
Creativity has been identified by today's leaders as the most important life skill of the future. Creativity requires both left and right (logical and emotional) brain hemispheres to work together. -
Critical Thinking
Critical thinkers make rational, ethical and responsible decisions by employing open-minded and effective problem-solving strategies. -
Collaboration
The ability to connect, share ideas, communicate effectively and make healthy compromises while staying true to oneself. It is about possessing strong social skills, self-awareness and learning to maintain healthy relationships. -
Communication
It is the root of all emotional development in children, youth and even adults. Learning to communicate effectively allows us to express our innermost thoughts and feelings; share our questions and concerns. -
Contribution
Social connection are the fundamental layers of what makes us human beings. We were all born with the innate desire to give, connect, share, and contribute (think of when you see a toddler jump at the opportunity to help with chores).
