Students gather knowledge and its application through the core curriculum. However, in today’s time and generation certain basic skills of life can sometimes get ignored. We, at Podar Education Network believe in the holistic development of our students. Therefore, we focus not only on knowledge but also in the development of life skills among our students.

Our curriculum goes beyond academics through the Life skills modules that bring omivalues in life. Students are taught basic skills appropriate for their age that help them in becoming independent and progressively move towards being helpful to others. By building social and emotional skills students are empowered to face challenges in life successfully. Students learn to feel empathic and to establish and maintain positive relationships.

These modules are incorporated into the daily curriculum. The skills are imparted using kinesthetic activities and strategies like cooperative and collaborative learning, peer partner learning and team based learning. 

The Podar Group of Schools have been in the field of education since 1927 and have established multiple CBSE schools in small towns of India. In most cases, they were the first and only CBSE School in that area with the balance schools being state board/regional language schools. At first, the students in these small towns were intimidated by joining an English medium CBSE school as they spoke limited English and had been studying the state board curriculum their entire academic life.

However, Podar has been successful in alienating this fear from the students. A specially designed curriculum has been set up by Podar’s highly experienced academic team that focuses on a seamless transition being possible for a student who is currently studying in a regional language state board school to an English medium CBSE school. The curriculum focuses on English speaking and technology.
