The cirriculum at Abhyasa is based on the "Multiple Intelligence Mode" offering a variety of subjects - to cater to varying capabilities among children and enable child to discover his/her aptitudes. The child's calibre is nourished steadily from its roots to promote a natural and lasting growth, rather than adopt 'quickfix' methods which only produce temporary results and 'eye-wash' parent impressions! The emphasis of the Abhyasa cirriculum at all levels is on the following:

• Acquisition of information (Knowledge)
• Application of Theory (Skills)
• Original Presentation (Innovation)
• Behaviour modification (Values)

      LANGUAGES FOR STUDY :
     I Language - English
     II Language - Hindi / Telugu / Sanskrit
     III Language - Hindi / Sanskrit

• Stress on quality spoken and written English with the help    of    Linguaphone system.
• Workshops for students on improving verbal    communicative    English.
• Two complete Shakespeare dramas are prescribed for    study in    classes IX, X, XI and XII.
• A second language is studied from class III to class X.
• A third language is studied from class III to class VI.

NOTE :

(i) Students opting for Hindi as the second language , will have Sanskrit as third Language (for classes III to VI) and students opting for Telugu as second language will have Hindi as III language.

(ii) Foreign nationals could opt for a 'Foreign language' as second language for their class X examination in place of Hindi or Telugu.

MATH & SCIENCES

• Exercises in Math are varied and drawn from I.C.S.E , C.B.S.E. &    A.P. state text books.

• Math syllabus prescribed by I.C.S.E has "need based" topics such   as computation of Income tax, Banking practices, Profit booking in   stock markets etc. - which makes a student "financially aware" when   he/she passes out of class X.

• Certain topics in Math which are covered by the "Andhra Pradesh   State Education Board" and not prescribed by the "Council for   I.C.S.E" for the class X examination , will be covered for the students   of Abhyasa through a bridge course - after completion of their board   exams - to ensure their smooth entry to Junior colleges
  (pre-university courses) in Andhra Pradesh.

• Students with numerical disabilities or weak analytical skills may   opt out of Maths and/or Sciences in classes IX and X - as per the   Council rules. In their place, Abhyasa has made provision for some   other subjects to be opted by students opting out of Maths or   Science.

INNOVATIVE TEACHING - LEARNING PROCESS

Apart from choosing from a variety of subjects - based on aptitudes, the teaching-learning process is so designed to inculcate critical skills that would help students even ten years after their schooling. Students are counseled on the career prospects that would be available to them, when they actually enter life. The curriculum is more need oriented than market driven.

GUIDANCE AND COACHING FOR COMPETITIVE EXAMS

The teachers at Abhyasa would be available to provide guidance and coaching to students who wish to appear for competitive exams such as IIT, medicine etc. during their study in classes XI and XII. Parents may appreciate that such special coaching is not possible in classes IX & X as the students have to prepare for examinations in a vast portion for 11 papers.

EVALUATION

Abhyasa follows the system of 'continuous'and 'multi mode' evaluation.The system adopts an 'objective' and 'fool-proof ' methodology to provide a 'realistic assessment' of each student, at the various stages of schooling. While the system of continuous evaluation tests the 'knowledge' of a student and ensures his/her constant academic preparedness - the 'multi mode evaluation system' tests the skills and competencies of a student and portrays his/her areas of aptitudes, personality strengths and weaknesses etc.,

(a) Oral and written tests are conducted on completion of every topic/chapter and their scores are recorded on a Elaborate Evaluation  Report.

• On an average, a term covers six tests in each subject (i.e., twelve    tests per year)

• After each test, students are motivated to improve upon their   previous scores.

(b) The 'Grade Point Average' is calculated at the term-end encompassing all curricular and co-curricular activities and the student's performance is assessed on a 10 point scale.
