What Gades Does Primary School Include?

  


 

 

The Primary School Years

 The first few years of formal schooling that a child receives are called the primary or elementary school.

 Primary school is an important phase of your child’s life – the education they get in these years is the 

foundation for their academic future. It covers a wide range of learning experiences that helps your child 

discover their interests and talents and build their confidence. 


Primary education starts in Grade 1 at the age of six, though most children start schooling in kindergarten at five. 

It usually lasts for five to seven years. Primary school under the Indian curriculum consists of two stages:


  • Lower primary – Grades 1 to 5

  • Upper primary or middle school – Grades 6 to 8


Some curricula like the national education systems in Singapore and the UK and IB consider Grades 1-6 as 

primary school. Irrespective of the curriculum followed, primary schools focus on general education and cover 

reading, writing, arithmetic, and general science and awareness. Students are taught the basics of the following 

subjects:


  • English (only from Grade 5 in State Board schools)

  • Hindi, a regional or a foreign language

  • Mathematics

  • Environmental Science 

  • General Knowledge

  • Physical Education and Arts

  • Computer Science

  • IB and IGCSE schools also introduce students to the fundamentals of business studies, economics, 

    global perspectives, etc. in the upper primary or middle school years.

     

Most boards do not have formal exams for students in the primary grades. Assessments are based on class 

performance, projects and other assignments and activities.

How Many Hours Should a 3-Year-Old Go to Nursery School?

    Most of the children start their preschool at 3 years of age. At this age, it is hard for them to sit for a  long period without their parents. They tend to stay for less time than the other students.  Almost every  nursery school provides 15 hours of schooling per week. The schedule may differ from  school to school. Some schools have a timing of three hours a day for five days, whereas some have  four hours a day for four days. These 15 hours are free as admission to nursery school, but if you want,  you can also pay for more hours and opt for daycare facilities offered in some schools. The teachers in  the school will take care of your child for that much time. Some parents have a busy schedule and don’t have much time to pick up their children at a specific  time and take care of them in the middle of work.
