Learning, in plain words
सीखने की राह
A general picture of how schools in India are usually organised, to help you ask the right questions.
Around town
Pick a building
Each building stands for a stage. This is a general guide, not the school's own list. The school will confirm which stages it runs and the age rule for each.
Early years about 3 to 6 years, usually
The first steps away from home. Children usually learn through play: songs, stories, clay, blocks and a lot of reassurance. Letters and numbers start to mean something near the end.
- Settling in with a familiar routine
- Hands busy: threading, drawing, building
- Songs, rhymes and picture talk

Primary years about 6 to 11 years, usually
Reading, writing and number work grow steadily, with English and Hindi, maths, and a first look at science and the world around us. Short breaks and games keep the day moving.
- Reading and writing with confidence
- Number work and simple problem solving
- Looking at plants, weather and places nearby

Middle years about 11 to 14 years, usually
Subjects become separate and homework grows. Children are expected to organise their own work, ask questions and start choosing what they enjoy.
- Separate subject teachers
- Longer pieces of writing and project work
- Starting to manage their own time

- How often do parents hear about progress, and in what form?
- What happens when a child is finding something difficult?
- How is homework set, and how much is usual?
