After School
Our after school program provides a safe, caring, and engaging environment outside regular school hours for students in preschool through 8th grade in need of child care or interested in pursuing new interests beyond the school curriculum.
The program offers time for homework assistance, outdoor free play, and opportunities for hands-on learning. These activities promote independence and confidence, to further develop a healthy emotional sense of self and cultivate cognitive skills more efficiently.

Preschool
The primary objective of our preschool program is to help students adjust to a school environment and be ready for Kindergarten: socially, emotionally, behaviorally, physically (gross & fine motor skills), and academically.
Some of our students take a school year or more just to feel comfortable and work independently (and that is fine)! Research on early childhood education shows that self-regulation (the student’s ability to control his/her behavior and work independently, follow directions, be self-motivated, etc.) is the best predictor of a student’s success. Regardless of a student’s individual personality and development, we can help him or her develop a love of learning and be prepared for future success.
A Preschooler’s day consists of:
- Self-selected play
- Reading books
- Circle time
- Focused learning
- Singing songs
- Sensory experiences
- Finger Plays
- Nature walks

Kindergarten
Our Kindergarten curriculum is based on age-specific learning goals and has been designed keeping in view the educational trends and the needs of the children. A thematic approach is adopted to foster learning across the curriculum, placing an emphasis on developing key skills. It is planned across different areas of learning, facilitating the children to develop at their own space through differentiated and collaborative learning. It is child-oriented, focusing on play and individual personality.
We firmly believe that children need to be happy if they are to learn. Our curriculum provides opportunities for playing & exploring, active learning, and thinking creatively. Enriched programs to stimulate children’s’ interest are carefully planned and supported. The children are exposed to a variety of exciting and positive experiences and hands-on activities which enables them to explore and enliven their interest. They are encouraged to think, find things, and talk about them.

Primary School
All of the curriculum at Climbing Hi Academic Institute is driven by the natural curiosity amongst children for their age group. At the primary school level, we integrate the curriculum with NCERT (National Council of Education, Research and Training) standards. Students share their experiences and ideas, enhance their sense of discipline and varied existence of community through interactions with different kinds of people and objects in their neighborhood and environment.
Our primary school curriculum recognizes the importance of developing the full potential of the child. It seeks to develop children spiritually and morally and to foster in each child an ethical sense that enables him/ her to acquire values on which they should base choices and form attitudes; it endeavors to equip children with the knowledge and skills that will serve them not only in their lives as children but later as adults; it is concerned to develop their capacity for creative expression and response; and it promotes their emotional and physical development.
