Principal's Note

Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid. - Albert Einstein

The word “Prarambhika” comes from’ Prarambh which means beginning- the beginning of being unique.
We are a school which takes pride in its rich tradition and success that came along its path, takes time to honor its past, celebrate its present and plan for the future. Our method for success starts with our belief that every child is exceptional and that every child can learn. We, at Prarambhika strive to find the best possible ways to tailor learning beyond classroom.
Google-classrooms, Khan Academy, cross-curriculum challenges, dramatics, art, sports, role-play – all of them form an integral part of our experiential teaching-learning methodology.
Prarambhika continues to excel through a well-developed curriculum that caters to the academic as well as co-scholastic needs leading to intellectual, emotional, value based and above all holistic development of students. As a school, we strongly feel that while the world would enormously be benefited from brilliant and creative minds, but the need of the hour is compassionate, caring, good human beings who care about making a positive difference to humanity and society at large along with seeking personal advancement. We are committed to help our students grow into adults who exhibit the traits of honesty, moral strength, tolerance and compassion, along with strong curious minds.
At Prarambhika we are observant of and attentive to the unique aspects of our children’s personalities; their interests and hobbies, their special ways of doing and seeing things , their way of caring for and helping others , their way of solving problems, academic subjects in which they show greatest interest, the games they play. Affirming them in their uniqueness sets them for a fulfilling life ahead and opens the multiple doors of unique development that Prarambhika offers at school.
And I will be relentless in my efforts to give every student of mine the most exceptional experience possible.

Knowledge

Knowledge is defined as remembering of previously learned material. This may involve the recall of a wide range of material, from specific facts to complete theories, but all that is required is the bringing to mind of the appropriate information. Knowledge represents the lowest level of learning outcomes in the cognitive domain.

Comprehension

Comprehension is defined as the ability to grasp the meaning of material. This may be shown by translating material from one form to another (words to numbers), by interpreting material (explaining or summarizing), and by estimating furture trends (predicting consequences or effects). These learning outcomes go one step beyond the simple remembering of material, and represent the lowest level of understanding.

Apply

Application refers to the ability to use learned material in new and concrete situations. This may include the application of such things as rules, methods, concepts, principles, laws, and theories. Learning outcomes in this area require a higher level of understanding than those under comprehension.

Analyse

Analysis refers to the ability to break down material into its component parts so that its organizational structure may be understood. This may include the identification of the parts, analysis of the relationships between parts, and recognition of the organizational principles involved. Learning outcomes here represent a higher intellectual level than comprehension and application becasue they require an understanding of both the content and the structural form of the material.

Evaluate

Evaluation is concerned with the ability to judge the value of material (statement, novel, poem, research report) for a given purpose. The judgements are to be based on definite criteria. These may be internal criteria (organization) or external criteria (relevance to the purpose) and the student may determine the criteria or be given them. Learning outcomes in this area are highest in the cognitive hierarchy because they contain elements of all the other categories, plus conscious value judgements based on clearly defined criteria.
