Curriculum

Al Khozama International School (AKIS) offers CBSE curriculum from Grade 1 to Grade XII. The curriculum at AKIS is based upon strong academic roots. It emphasizes and relies upon what is best in traditional independent school education: scholarly excellence supported by a caring, pastoral and tutorial system, and a wide - ranging co- curricular programme.

We are continually adapting and reacting to the changing demands of modern education: new subjects are added, new teaching techniques adopted, and there is an increasing awareness of the need to provide programmes of study that match individual needs and skills.

Assesments & Reports

For classes KG to 2 there will be periodical evaluations which are internal and informal. For grades 1-5, there are 3 evaluations in an academic year. For Grades 6 to 10 there will be three internal assesments as indicated in the calendar and a Final Assesment at the end of the Academic Year. The average of two internal assesments will be taken into consideration for the purpose of calculations. 

Apart from this, the students are also exposed to national level skill based diagnostic tests such as Learnometer & ASSET tests from Educational initiatives. This will help both the school and the parents keep track of the performance of students across subjects and also help in recognizing areas of strength and areas/ skills that deserve to be strengthened.

In a nutshell, it emphasizes on adopting five steps viz as, Read-Find clues-Plan-Act-Reflect for meticulous evaluation.

Robotics

We strive to give direction to our aspiring students who want to enter robotics and use their boundless creativity in an outlet that will challenge their imagination. Robotics Learning System (RLS) is a new educational robotic learning platform, making it possible for school students to build and programme their own solutions in a fun-filled way. We conduct a series of sessions that have been designed to let students experience, first-hand, the versatile field of robotics.

The Robotic Lab aims at introducing young children, to the field of robotics, and getting them interested in it at a young age. The students learn to assemble models of robots, simultaneously learning the basic concepts and theory behind their working. All the parts are very simple and child-friendly, and ensure maximum safety and fun. All the components used in the lab represent the fundamental level of robotics, and guarantee a learning experience that is educational yet challenging.

Students use this opportunity to experience the joys of learning robotics at the age where they can appreciate and absorb it the most, in a structured and internationally recognized curriculum organized in levels of increasing complexity. Hands-on projects, team activities and competitions are used to provide a fun filled educational environment in the Lab. By building and programming robots, students explore fundamentals of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

Highlights of our pedagogy:

  • Develops scientific temperament and strengthens curricular concepts
  • Nurtures creativity and innovation
  • Develops logical and analytical thinking
  • Improves observational skills
  • Builds confidence and motivation
  • Provides Joyful and Meaningful Learning Experience
