ABODE Life

Beyond Academics

To complement our academic curriculum, ABODE offers a diverse range of enrichment programs that support the development of well-rounded students. We are committed to nurturing each child’s unique abilities and interests through exposure to various activities, in line with the theory of multiple intelligences.

ABODE believes in the theory of multiple intelligences, which suggests that each child has different strengths and learning preferences. We expose students to a wide array of activities to help identify their dominant intelligence and support their personal growth. According to MI theory, no single teaching strategy works best for all students, as each child may excel in different areas.

Preschool to Grade 3

From preschool to Grade 3, students are introduced to various activities that cater to different intelligences, including:

  • Music
  • Dance
  • Gymnastics
  • Art
  • Sports

Sports classes at this stage are designed to provide a general introduction to physical activities, promoting overall physical fitness and development.

Starting from Grade 4, students are identified based on their dominant intelligence (HI). They are given the opportunity to choose according to their areas of interest and develop their skills further:

  • Music Vocal (Carnatic)
  • Music Instrumental (Keyboard)
  • Classical Dance (Bharatanatyam)
  • Gymnastics
  • Art

Sports classes remain a mandatory component of the curriculum to ensure that all students benefit from regular physical activity and promote overall physical growth. The sports curriculum evolves to include athletics and organized team sports such as basketball, football, cricket, etc.

Clubs: At ABODE School, we offer a diverse range of clubs designed to enrich our students’ experiences and interests outside the classroom. Our clubs provide opportunities for students to explore their passions, develop new skills, and collaborate with peers in a supportive environment.

  • Literary Club: Includes activities such as debates, creative writing, poetry readings, and literary discussions, fostering a love for literature and effective communication.
  • Performance Arts: Includes activities related to drama, music, and dance.
  • Creative Arts: Focuses on visual arts and provides opportunities for artistic expression through drawing, painting, and sculpture.
  • STEM and Robotics: Covers science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and robotics.
  • Earth Club: Promotes environmental awareness and sustainability through various projects and campaigns.
  • Sports: Involves various athletic activities and team sports.

We continually assess and respond to student interests, and new clubs will be introduced based on their evolving needs and passions.

ABODE Initiatives

We are dedicated to providing our students with enriching and diverse experiences that extend beyond the traditional classroom. Our initiatives and programs are designed to foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking, ensuring holistic development for every child.

Book Bag Program

Our unique phonetic-based reading program in preschool helps children navigate the complexities of reading through various phonograms and orthogonal challenges. The Book Bag Program features a series of 120 books designed to guide children to become proficient readers by the age of 6 years. This program supports children in developing a deep understanding of language and a love for reading.

We encourage independent learning and confidence through student-led presentations in preschool. These presentations allow children to demonstrate their understanding of Montessori learning and share their knowledge with peers and teachers. This practice not only reinforces their learning but also builds public speaking skills and self-assurance.

Adhvan provides students with hands-on experiences that ignite their passion for discovery and deepen their understanding of the world around them. Students embark on tours and trips that lead to inquiry and real-time learning.

Curio provides students with the opportunity to explore and nurture their curiosity across a variety of interest areas and topics. It encourages them to think creatively and apply their imaginative ideas to real-life situations. Through Curio, students can share their discoveries and insights, turning their curiosity into practical applications and showcasing their learning to the school community.

A unique event where students create their math problems, fostering a deep understanding of mathematical concepts. This exercise challenges students' problem-solving skills and promotes a love for mathematics.

A comprehensive writing program that encourages imagination and incorporates all elements of creative writing. Lekhan inspires students to explore their creativity through various writing forms, enhancing their literary skills.

An initiative that explores whether big world issues can be solved by small steps taken at home. Think Blink encourages students to think critically about global challenges and develop actionable solutions that start within their communities.

An annual event aimed at encouraging reading for a cause. Read-a-Thon motivates students to develop a love for reading while supporting charitable initiatives, fostering a sense of empathy and social responsibility.

A platform for students to present innovative and thought-provoking ideas through short, TED-style talks. ABODE-Ed allows students to share their insights and creativity, developing their public speaking skills and inspiring their peers.

Fun Friday is a weekly initiative where students engage in a range of recreational activities that foster creativity, teamwork, and relaxation. It provides a joyful end to the week, allowing students to unwind and connect with peers. Students participate with enthusiasm in diverse activities, celebrating festivals and acknowledging important days, creating a vibrant atmosphere.

  • Thinking Talks: Hosted by our Founder, these talks provide insightful discussions on educational and developmental topics, inspiring parents, students and staff.

The daily schedule includes circle time, a balance of structured activities as part of the Montessori Cycle, free play and enrichment activities tailored to foster holistic development.

The Montessori method focuses on individualized learning through hands-on activities and self-directed exploration in a prepared environment.

Yes, your child will adapt well. The Montessori method believes in the "Follow the Child" approach. They will start at their current level of understanding, and we will support them as they continue to grow and learn.

In a Montessori environment, children are placed in mixed-age groups, typically spanning three years. This setup allows students to learn at their own pace, with opportunities for peer tutoring and indirect learning. The structure fosters a collaborative and supportive learning environment.

In a Montessori classroom, children engage in various activities according to their interests and developmental stage. The classroom environment is designed to facilitate independent learning, allowing each child to choose activities that match their needs and pace. This approach helps children develop a sense of responsibility and ownership over their learning process, as they complete their work cycles independently, from selecting materials to returning them to their proper place.
