Pre-School to Grade III
As a child enters the Heritage Preschool, firmly clutching her mother's hand, many firsts await her — the first sighting of the school building, the first hug from a teacher, the first friend who hands her a flower, a feather; the first smiley. These are the memories which will stay with her, forever.
The world lies before her, awaiting discovery and wonderment, scrutiny and ecstasy. It is here that music finds the most genuine and unconditioned response. In their encounters with the 'others', children become visible to themselves — beginning their journey of connections and not separation of knowledge, using their fertile minds shaped by the very learning they are engaging in.
Integrated Learning in Junior School
At the heart of the Junior program is a commitment to inquiry and exploration as vehicles of learning. It is much more important to develop experiences that encourage children to ask questions, than to give answers. The inquiry-based approach enables children to nurture their curiosity as they pursue a thought, an idea, a process.
In this process of exploration, children's initial ideas get transformed as they engage with the problem at hand. Learning becomes interdisciplinary — where children are facilitated in learning to learn; and learning to feel. The various themes of inquiry engage children in experiences that develop generative thought, critical thinking and reflective skills.

Junior Makers Program
The Junior Makers Program is a hands-on innovation journey designed for students in Grades 1 to 3, where curiosity transforms into creativity and ideas come to life. Rooted in STEM education, Maker Education, Design Thinking, Inquiry-Based Learning, and Project-Based Learning, the program encourages young learners to explore, experiment, collaborate, and create through meaningful, real-world experiences.
Rather than simply learning concepts, students actively investigate, build, test, and refine their ideas — moving from exploration to collaboration, and ultimately to creation, laying a strong foundation for lifelong innovation.

Community Engagement & Involvement
Community engagements continue to bring joy, knowledge, and inspiration to young minds. Families become active partners at this stage in facilitating learning, while Field Visits curate experiences for learners outside the classroom — fuelling their curiosity and nurturing their critical thinking.

Theatre in Junior School
Every year, students of Grade III delve into the realm of dramatics to create their own theatre productions — where they do more than tell stories, they become the stories, embodying the emotions, conflicts and revelations that make us human. Through this process, they dare to challenge stereotypes, question age-old beliefs and reflect on their own actions with a fresh perspective.
Satvikam — At the heart of our theatre practice lies this centering technique: bringing the mind and body into a state of neutrality before stepping into a new role. This grounding fosters deep personal growth, enabling teachers and children to embrace each moment with clarity and purpose.
