The Campus & The School

Jubilee Kids usually starts in the middle of June and ends in the first week of April the following year. The academic year is divided into four quarters, with a report given at the end of each quarter. There are usually two short breaks — about two weeks during Diwali and about 10 days during Christmas. Saturdays and Sundays are holidays, except for special programmes.

The heart and soul of Jubilee Kids is its curriculum. There's more to Jubilee Kids than just fun and games — every activity is designed to hone the intellectual, physical, emotional, linguistic, social and moral skills that form a foundation for the rest of a child's life. Children learn by doing fun things: playing games, solving puzzles, wearing costumes, beating drums and simply having fun with other kids. Learning is not confined to the classroom — when necessary, children are taken to different places for authentic experience.

To support the curriculum, Jubilee Kids has world-class, safe and child-friendly equipment; classrooms that are spacious, airy and fully coloured with adorable cartoon characters; and playrooms with loads of equipment loved by children that also help develop neuromuscular coordination and strengthen muscles.

A child's development is evaluated on a continuous basis, and parents are informed about their progress periodically. Children are given grades and are not ranked or compared with each other. Parents are partners in a child's development, and regular Parent-Teacher Meetings are held to facilitate mutual understanding. A report is given to each parent every quarter, and a certificate is awarded to each child at the end of the academic year.

There is no prescribed dress for Jubilee Kids. However, children are advised to wear clothes that are comfortable and safe for various play activities, without anything that sticks out or can get entangled. As children sit on the floor, they are not allowed inside the classroom with footwear on — it is important that children wear footwear they can put on and remove by themselves. Parents are requested to ensure children are clean when they come to school.

The school year starts on 1st April and continues till the last week of March. There is usually one long break — from around the end of the third week of April to the first week of June — plus two short breaks of about two weeks during Diwali and about 10 days during Christmas. The school functions Monday to Friday, except on days marked as holidays in the school calendar.

As with Nursery, the curriculum is designed so that all the basic requirements for the start of formal learning in class 1 are accomplished without burdening the children. English, Hindi, Numbers, G.K., Art, Craft and Physical Education form the core of the learning areas, alongside communication skills, values and discipline, which children pick up without being consciously aware of learning them. Learning is entirely activity oriented and fun.

A child's skill development is evaluated continually, and parents are informed about progress periodically. Children are given grades and are not ranked or compared with each other. Regular Parent-Teacher Meetings are held to facilitate mutual understanding, and a report is given every term. Parents can take appointments on working Saturdays to meet and interact with teachers.

The school year starts on 1st April and continues till the last week of March, with one long break (end of the third week of April to the first week of June) and two short breaks — about two weeks during Diwali and about 10 days during Christmas. Classes are held Monday to Saturday, except on the second and fourth Saturdays and declared holidays. Each period is 40 minutes, except on Saturdays when it is 35 minutes.

The school largely follows NCERT and NCF guidelines for the primary classes. Teachers use a variety of methods to develop concepts and make subjects interesting. The school's labs are used for practical work to build skills and make learning more concrete, and activities keep learning participative. Smart classes provide a multimedia experience where needed, and children are taken on field trips for a better understanding of concepts.

Keeping the NCF philosophy in mind, children are exposed to various activities to develop interest, skills, attitude and values. Since June 2014, the school has been following the XCEED curriculum provided by iDiscoveri.

Assessments are made on a continuous basis as per CBSE guidelines, with written feedback given to parents once a term. Parents are also given feedback on their ward's performance during one-on-one meetings with teachers.

Motivating children to bring out their best is an important feature of this school. Children are rewarded with stars based on their performance in academic and co-curricular activities, and are given real stars to pin on their dress — white being the lowest and golden being the highest.

The school largely follows CBSE guidelines, as for the secondary classes. NCF guidelines, CCE manuals, NCERT position papers, the Health Manual and the Life Skills Manual are kept in mind while preparing and transacting the curriculum. Teachers use varied methods to develop concepts and make subjects interesting, using the school's labs for authentic practical work and taking children on field trips for real-world learning experiences.

In line with CBSE guidelines, assessments test understanding and application, not just rote learning. Learning objectives for the year are listed and given to children at the start of the year, and students who lag behind are given special help during the prep period.

Promotion is based on performance across the academic year. There are two formative assessments and one summative assessment each term. Formative assessments include written papers as well as quizzes, debates, presentations, seminars, assignments, projects and observations. Summative assessments include a computer-based assessment and a written paper covering only the topics taught that term.

A comprehensive report covering scholastic and co-scholastic areas is given to parents at the end of each term, with finer points discussed and suggestions made for improvement where necessary.

There are periodic tests, half-yearly and annual examinations, with the annual examination covering the entire year's syllabus. Feedback is shared with parents after the half-yearly, annual and model examinations. Promotion from class 11 to class 12 is decided as per CBSE guidelines. Class 12 students appear for a CBSE examination in March, covering only the topics learnt in class 12.

Children are rewarded with stars based on their performance in academic and co-curricular activities, and are given real stars to pin on their dress — white being the lowest and golden being the highest. The school awards a trophy for the best all-round student of class 12 on Annual Day, based on the number of stars awarded.

The school has a counsellor who conducts training and counselling sessions for children. The Adolescent Education Programme initiated by CBSE is given due importance, covering children, teachers and parents. Children with learning or other difficulties are given guidance by the counsellor, and students also appear for tests conducted by CBSE to identify their strengths and weaknesses.

Inter-house competitions give children an opportunity to build co-curricular skills while developing house spirit. The range of activities, from literary to games, helps bring out the best in children and develop a wholesome personality. The following activities are organised as inter-house competitions:

Literary Activities

Creative Activities

Games

Club activities are available for children of classes 8 to 12. Every child opts for one of the clubs listed below — a welcome break from regular academic work that children look forward to every Friday.

Sports and games are an integral part of our school curriculum. We believe physical activity is as important as academics and life skills for all-round development, so the school has one hour of compulsory games every day (except Saturday) for all classes from 1 to 11. Games are optional for class 12.

To inculcate team spirit, inter-house and open tournaments are held in various games. The school has facilities for the following sports and games:

Held on Saturdays, this activity has students sitting informally with their class teacher and other teachers, interacting through games, talking and discussion. The aim is to develop a positive approach and good relationships within the school. Circle Time also helps raise children's self-esteem and build their understanding of their role at home, in school and in society at large.

During Quality Circle Time, children reflect on aspects of their lives and discuss moral and social issues, expressing with confidence their understanding of right and wrong and their sense of justice. Children learn to listen to others, be tolerant of different viewpoints, and respect their fellow classmates.
