ARISE International School Salem

Primary School - Grades 1-5

“Our Lesson plans are aimed at providing enriching experiences that build individual interests and extend learning beyond the classroom”

At ARISE, we recognize that the early years lay the foundation for lifelong learning. Our Primary School curriculum (Grades 1–5) is designed to build strong academic fundamentals while nurturing curiosity, creativity, and confidence in children.

We follow a well-balanced curriculum that integrates academics with values, physical education, arts, and digital skills. With a personalized approach, our teachers focus on developing core competencies in literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking while promoting social-emotional development.

Our classrooms are equipped with interactive tools and modern teaching aids to make learning engaging and fun. The focus remains on concept clarity, application-based learning, and building a strong moral compass.

Primary School Highlights

✔ In Lower Grades, your child will gain learning from age-appropriate curriculum content (Suggested by CBSE Board) and have ample opportunities to model behavior and develop empathy.
✔ Enquiry-based learning across the school year means expanded opportunities for enquiry, critical thinking, and interdisciplinary learning as students make real and relevant connections across various subjects.
✔ Various educational tools and learning kits in the classroom enhance teaching and learning.
✔ Student-Parent-Tutor meetings provide your child an opportunity to lead you through their challenges and successes.

Assessment is an integral part of teaching and learning at ARISE Salem. The word assessment stems from the Latin word "assidere" which means “to sit beside”. We view assessment as an opportunity to “sit beside” your child to help them understand where they are in their progression of learning.

By now, you would have got a fair idea about ARISE Salem. You might be thinking that student-centered learning sounds great – but what does it look like in real life? We’re sure your doubts will evaporate the moment you see your child talking about their learning journey in our Student-led Parent-Tutor Meetings.

Our students not only attend Parent-Tutor meetings but they drive the conversation from start to finish summarizing their strengths and challenges as a learner and share their inspiration and success stories.

Once you witness the success stories, it will warm your heart, blow your mind – or maybe even both. Either way, you’ll need to see this in action to believe it.

Academics

Our primary grade students love to learn. Our approach and practice is founded on the basis that students learn best when they connect big ideas, construct meaning through enquiry and are allowed to ask questions and explore deeper.

With this belief supported by the CBSE curriculum, we create concept-based lesson plans to provide opportunities for students to contextualize their learning. Students develop knowledge and understanding of big ideas, much better through interdisciplinary learning instead of teaching traditional subjects as given in text books. Lesson plans are tied to bigger concepts making them more meaningful for the students.

Physical Education

Students learn about movement and through movement in our Physical Education program. Our approach to PE helps stimulate children to grow – physically, socially, personally and emotionally. Skills are developed through a wide variety of physical activities, designed to ensure maximum participation by all.

PE is embraced as an opportunity to stimulate cooperation, teamwork, decision-making and problem solving. Our thirst for “traditional games” require groups to work together collaboratively in order to solve problems and accomplish a common goal. In “movement composition” students broaden their understanding of how physical activity can be used for the development of basic motor skills as well as how movement can be used to communicate feelings, emotions and ideas.

In “games” students also learn to recognize the challenges presented by games, the importance of rules, and how they define the nature of a game. “Individual pursuits” and “health-related fitness” balance our PE curriculum with the development of basic motor skills and recognizing and appreciating the value of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
