At Sri Krishna Academy, we follow the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) curriculum, which is now fully aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. This transformative policy aims to redefine the education system in India, placing emphasis on holistic development, critical thinking, experiential learning, and the overall well-being of the learner.

Key Features of the CBSE Curriculum Aligned with NEP 2020:

  1. Holistic and Multidisciplinary Education:

    The curriculum promotes a balanced integration of academics, life skills, arts, sports, and value-based education. It supports the development of cognitive, emotional, social, and physical abilities.

  2. New 5+3+3+4 Curricular Structure:

    Replacing the traditional 10+2 system, the new structure is designed to match the developmental stages of students:

    • Foundational Stage (5 years): Play-based and activity-based learning for ages 3–8 (including preschool to Grade 2).
    • Preparatory Stage (3 years): Discovery and interaction-based classroom learning for Grades 3–5.
    • Middle Stage (3 years): Conceptual learning and critical thinking for Grades 6–8.
    • Secondary Stage (4 years): Multidisciplinary study with flexibility and choice of subjects for Grades 9–12.
  3. Competency-Based Learning:

    Assessment and instruction are focused on developing core concepts, application of knowledge, and 21st-century skills such as problem-solving, communication, and collaboration.

  4. Emphasis on Mother Tongue and Multilingualism:

    Languages play a key role in the curriculum. While English and Hindi remain core components, students are encouraged to learn in their mother tongue or regional language wherever possible, especially in the foundational years.

  5. Integration of Technology:

    Digital tools, coding, AI, and virtual labs are being introduced as part of the learning experience to prepare students for a technology-driven world.

  6. Assessment Reforms:

    A shift from rote learning to formative and competency-based assessment ensures that students are evaluated on understanding, creativity, and application rather than memorization.

  7. Vocational Education and Life Skills:

    From Grade 6 onwards, students are introduced to vocational subjects and hands-on skill training to help them make informed career choices and become future-ready.

At Sri Krishna Academy, we are committed to implementing the NEP 2020 vision in both letter and spirit. Our academic and co-curricular programs are continuously updated to reflect these reforms, ensuring our students receive a future-ready, inclusive, and meaningful education.
