Our Approach to Learning
We provide comprehensive personal support and guidance at our schools. We prepare students for success by working with them, helping them discover and develop their strengths, and by providing an environment where they can learn, play, and do everything in between at school.

Let Students Enjoy Childhood
At St. John's Universal, we o er Abacus, Vedic Math, remedial classes, and much more at school to avoid tuition or activity classes.
Abacus
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 touching, moving, listening, and observing.
iii.
Students have some control over the direction of their 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 e ect, abstract symbols, and concepts of time, space, and quantity in the universe.
Naturalistic Intelligence
A love for one's natural and cultural environment blossoms through interactions with the real world.
Scribbling, drawing, colouring, painting, origami, and other cra work hone the child's aesthetic sense. Visual-Spatial Intelligence
Musical Intelligence
Songs and poetry teach rhythm, pitch, and balance.
