Academics
- Academics In keeping with R H Kapadia School’s promise of comprehensive and holistic education through a developmental approach, modern methodologies are employed to enable learning.
- These methodologies are a departure from the traditional learning that is imparted in most schools. While the syllabus for each grade is structured, teachers have the autonomy and flexibility to design the curriculum. The Curriculum Coordinator assists and supports teachers in the choice of materials and methodology. It is also the former’s responsibility to shape and integrate online-offline learning, as well as the formal and informal curriculum.

Development of multiple intelligence
- By developing the ability of the child to work with plants and the natural world through integration of Eco Literacy Programme.
Student Centric Learning
- Focus on teacher-centric instruction reduces students to passive recipients of knowledge. Traditional teaching is a one-way street, where teachers teach and students learn by rote. Hence, we create an environment in which students are systematically encouraged to continually seek their own learning. Our teachers play the role of “facilitators”.
Project-based Learning
- Students are assigned individual projects in their areas of specific intelligence to develop and hone their skills and respective intelligences.
Citizenship Learning
- Given the rising demands and needs of a rapidly changing global community, knowledge and skills for responsible citizenship at the local, state, national and global level becomes important. The School’s citizenship curriculum has been evolved through a new concept of multidimensional citizenship education, whereby both the School and the community interface as partners
- Such learning inspires young people to reflect on, and become actively involved in making a better world, not as incidental subject matter, but as the primary focus of their educational experience. Students thus understand more clearly, what citizenship means, and feel ready to make significant contribution for humankind in a sustainable environment. With these clear objectives, R H Kapadia School will, through education, provide a basis for making the ideals of global citizenship a reality…..
