Children are inquisitive by nature. When their curiosity is aroused, and better channelized by incorporating it into academics, they can be better learners. This channelization of creative energies is the logical approach we follow at orchids.

SHARPER, which is an acronym of Self-discipline, Hard-work, and rigor, Applied Sciences, Research, Physical Fitness, Exposure, Reflective and Independent thinking, is an in-house philosophy we’ve developed and have been applying to academics. As we are living in a much more competitive world, inculcating these ore values has never been more important.

A. Self – Discipline

Self-discipline is a value of utmost importance, as students who can monitor their progress levels can go a lot far, setting the bar high. It will make students deal effectively with external pressures and monotonous routines. We encourage self-discipline by employing various programs such as Guest lectures, Student motivation programs, monitored innovative assemblies, Special skill workshops, etc.

B. Hard work and Academic Rigour

Everyone works much better in a competitive environment. By providing ample opportunities like Intra- Orchids programs (Junior Einstein, Language Quest, etc) and External competitions ( Homi Bhabha, Graymatters, Spell bee, etc) we polish the natural talents of children.

C. Applied Sciences

Academic experience is worthless without combining it with real-world experiences. At Orchids, we give enough exposure to students, to apply what they’ve learned on to real-world situations, by employing science kits, Visual aids, etc, thus helping them to transform theoretical knowledge in to real.

D. Research

By developing an attitude towards research students will be able to inculcate the habit of learning in-depth, thus being able to understand and analyze core concepts.

E.Physical fitness

We are living in the world and time where we need much endurance and strength. We have our own sports curriculum, as we stress on sports activities such as taekwondo, racquetball, archery, etc. We also have several assessments such as Alpha fitness assessment, Biochemical assessment, clinical assessment, etc.

F.Exposure

By transforming the innate curiosity of students into real-life exposure, we are making them able to adapt to different situations in life, which will be helpful in academics as well as extracurricular activities.

G.Reflective and indicative thinking

We prepare students for the future, ready to face future challenges. We have included activities like Speakathons, Fieldtrips, Public speaking, Theatre, etc as part of extracurricular activities which can effectively boost the self-esteem of the children by developing an independent style of thinking.

Curriculum
A. Playschool curriculum

Our playschool curriculum focuses on augmenting the student's learning abilities through interactive modules, exciting field trips and lively class room discussions. The emphasis in these formative years is on creating an environment where students feel motivated to question, analyze and be creative to develop their cognitive abilities. By employing these diverse methodologies we are able to catch their attention and improve their grasping power through an approach of hands on learning.

Besides the core subjects, we have also incorporated arts and crafts, dance, public speaking and swimming in our curriculum. Thus, by empowering students with a wholesome development, we ensure they are able to progress to higher grades smoothly and face the future with confidence. Owing to these salient features devised by our highly qualified faculty members, and the state of art infrastructure in our campuses, Orchids has secured a prominent position in the list of top CBSE schools in Bangalore.

B. Primary school curriculum

Building upon the foundation laid in our preschool curriculum, the primary school curriculum stresses on improving the conceptual understanding of core subjects. To achieve this objective, our primary curriculum incorporates thematic and integrated learning to help students associate their classroom lessons with their surroundings and real life examples. This thematic learning interweaves all concepts required to learn at primary stage in a more coherent manner to promote learning with understanding and discourages rote learning.

Our primary curriculum includes English comprehension (creative writing, prose, poetry, drama, and non-fiction), Language training (National, International languages as second, third, fourth options), Mathematics (with focus on problem-solving, logical reasoning and developing analytical skills), Environmental Science (exploring higher concepts in environmental science). This approach towards imparting education with a focus on 360' developments differentiates us from other schools and prepares our students for the challenges of the modern world.

C. Secondary School Curriculum

To foster core competency needed to succeed in higher education, Orchids International School offers secondary school education in all streams like humanities, science and commerce from both CBSE and ICSE boards.

Our secondary school curriculum focuses on developing student's grasping powers through advanced learning modules like robotics kits and unique teaching methods developed by our highly experienced faculty comprising IITians and PhD holders. Along with a focus on regular exams, our exclusive initiative "Orchid Career Foundation Program" prepares secondary school students for various competitive exams like JEE, NEET, GRE and CLAT, etc.

We provide world-class infrastructure to our students as their environment is conducive to better learning. At orchids, due importance is given to both outdoor and indoor activities, so we have Skating rinks, Basketball courts, Playgrounds, Swimming pools, etc. along with a well-equipped library, Music room, Dance room, and Theatre room. Our classrooms are equipped with Digi boards thus students can learn effectively. Our computer labs and science labs use the latest technology. We give top priority to hygiene, so our washrooms are well built and regularly sanitized. We have a counselor’s room, where students can talk with the counselors about the problems they face and an infirmary at our disposal, as the safety of our students is our topmost priority. Our canteen provides highly delicious and nutritious food, catering to the requirements of the children.
