Every Child Learns Differently

Better Humans for a Better Tomorrow

Let Students Enjoy Childhood

No two students are the same; neither should their learning be.

That’s why, at St. John's Universal, we focus on individual needs and ensure that every child is learning and engaged.

Students are beyond just their marks. That’s why, at St. John's Universal, we expose children to life skills and human values.

At St. John's Universal, we offer Abacus, Vedic Math, remedial classes, and much more at school to avoid tuition or activity classes.

Pre-Primary: Learning by the Play The early childhood curriculum is designed to meet the needs, interests, and abilities of children, fostering their holistic development. Our curriculum is inspired by Dr Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences, while our student-centric pedagogy is influenced by the Reggio-Emilia approach.

Our Pedagogy: Reggio-Emilia Approach Each child is considered infinitely capable, creative, and intelligent. The teacher's job is to support these qualities and challenge students in appropriate ways. i.

Students learn, express, and develop critical thinking skills through projects, group work, field trips, resource books, and audio-visuals materials.

ii. Students learn through listening, and observing.

Long Term Project based Learning

Developing the Whole Child Our curriculum is based on Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences Theory. Going with the traditional belief that IQ is the best predictor of intellect, schools focus on language, numerical, and spatial abilities. Instead, based on evidence from disparate sources, the MI theory claims that humans have a number of relatively discrete intellectual capacities. Students, at an early age, should be exposed to all eight intelligences for wholesome growth. Here are all eight types of intelligence and their corresponding learning experiences:

Linguistic Intelligence

A phonics-based language and rich environment promote listening, speaking, reading, writing, and vocabulary enrichment.

Interpersonal Intelligence

Group work with both peers and adults builds confidence and positive relationships.

Intrapersonal Intelligence Self-awareness grows through prayer and reflection.

Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence

Sand play, water play, dance, drama, and yoga promote the development of fine and gross motor skills.

Logical-Mathematical Intelligence

Numeracy and mathematical skills are developed by observing order, patterns and relationships, cause and effect, abstract symbols, and concepts of time, space, and quantity in the universe.

MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES AT UNIVERSAL

Naturalistic Intelligence

A love for one's natural and cultural environment blossoms through interactions with the real world.

Visual-Spatial Intelligence Scribbling, drawing, colouring, painting, origami, and other craftwork hone the child's aesthetic sense.

Musical Intelligence

Songs and poetry teach rhythm, pitch, and balance.
