Teaching Methodologies

The school grooms its students for the ICSE syllabus. At Fairmount Academy, the teaching methodologies focus on the concept of experiential learning.
Most concepts are taught with an applicative approach.

From the Preschool years focus is placed on the improvement and enhancement of language skills. Literary and grammatical concepts are taught through storybooks rather than only conventional readers. These help develop the child’s reading and comprehension skills.

Math is taught with an applicative approach. Students engage in group activities to understand concepts practically.

Students get an opportunity to reconfirm and establish their learning through direct experiences. Field trips and educational tours are conducted every year to support the school’s philosophy of hands on learning. *Field trips are organized for all grades from Preschool onwards.
