Academic Methodology

In keeping with St. Xavier’s World School 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 rote 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 Intelligences

We believe that intelligence is not a single phenomenon of the human mind. To typecast all humans on a single general intelligence quotient has largely been responsible for an urgency to cram and score high marks. Human intellectual competencies are broadly divided into multiple intelligences. As such, the curriculum at St. Xavier’s World School has been specifically designed to enable each and every student to hone his/her respective intelligence’s:

Linguistic Intelligence

Creative writing, poetry, foreign languages, communication skills, public speaking and audio-visual room.

Musical Intelligence

Learning and composing classical and contemporary music to develop tonal understanding.

Spatial Intelligence

Photography, sculpture, painting and drawing to build visual and creative thinking skills.

Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence

Dance, theatre-in-education, sports and athletics to develop physical expression and coordination.

Logical-Mathematical Intelligence

Maths and Science Labs, Biotechnology and Commercial Designing integration.

Interpersonal Intelligence

Understanding and responding to the moods, motivations and desires of others.

Intrapersonal Intelligence

Self-awareness, reflection, values and inner thinking processes.

Naturalist Intelligence

Recognition and categorization of nature through eco-friendly environment exposure.

Student-Centric Learning

Focus on teacher-centric instruction reduces students to passive recipients of knowledge. Traditional teaching is a one-way street. Hence, we create an environment in which students are systematically encouraged to continually seek their own learning. Teachers act as facilitators.

Project-Based Learning

Students are assigned individual projects in their areas of specific intelligence to develop and hone their skills.

Creativity-Centered Learning

Computer Clubs and a state-of-the-art media centre provide opportunities to acquire digital fluency, multimedia production skills, robotics and animation.

Citizenship Learning

The School’s citizenship curriculum inspires young people to reflect on and actively participate in building a better global community.
