Our Curriculum

The education we provide at Footsteps concentrates on four key factors – physical, intellectual, emotional and social in equal proportions. Our aim is to mould well balanced future citizens for the global village. Our curriculum is well founded and receives constant up gradation. It is essentially an ideal mixture of the Montessori and the Conventional. The guidelines for standard behaviour here are self discipline and self respect


The program for this school was formulated by three experienced educators :

Mrs. M Ramachandran - a nursery teacher throughout her life, she has 18 years experience in Sishya School . Now she runs her own nursery school at Lucknow
Mrs. Rachel Thomas – a teacher by profession and currently Vice Principal of St. Paul’s, New Delhi
Mrs. Soma Mathew – Registrar, Overseas Family School, Singapore.

In Detail...

A Footstepper evolves a positive attitude to learning and cultivates flexible approaches to problem solving which develops original thinking.
