At North Star, the Primary programme combines strong foundations in core subjects with communication, experiential learning, creativity and opportunities to apply what children learn.
The aim
The aim is not only to cover the curriculum. It is to help children understand, participate and become increasingly confident learners.
Core subjectsStrong foundations matter.
Students build their understanding across core CBSE-aligned areas including:
- 01
English
Reading, writing, speaking and listening.
- 02
Mathematics
Conceptual understanding, numerical fluency and problem-solving.
- 03
Science
Observation, questioning, investigation and application.
- 04
Social Studies
Understanding people, communities, environments and the wider world.
How we teachUnderstanding before memorising.
Children understand more when they can connect ideas with experience.
Not learning more for the sake of more. Learning more deeply.
Teaching at North Star incorporates
- Experiential learning
- Projects and activities
- Storytelling
- Debates and discussion
- Creative writing
- Hands-on exploration
- Real-life application
Communication & confidenceFinding their voice matters too.
Knowing the answer and being able to communicate it are different skills.
Through reading, writing, speaking, listening, performance and participation, students are encouraged to become increasingly comfortable expressing ideas.
- Reading
- Writing
- Speaking
- Listening
- Performance
- Participation
Confidence is not developed through one annual performance. It grows every time a child is encouraged to participate.
Beyond the classroomLearning happens in more than one kind of space.
A child's strength may first appear in…
-
…a Science experiment
-
…a basketball game
-
…performing on stage
-
…a debate
-
…the robotics lab
-
…a group project
North Star therefore gives children opportunities across academics, sports, art, music, dance, drama, STEAM and robotics.

Strong foundations are only the beginning.
Give them the foundation. Then give them room to discover.
We want children to leave Primary School with knowledge — but also with curiosity, confidence and an increasing understanding of what they can do.
