Established In Mumbai Clubs and Activities Curriculum
At The Universal School, we believe, ‘Selecting the right school is the best gi a parent can give a child’. Creating compassionate human beings is o en neglected when a school focuses only on knowledge and competition. A school should not only empower children with skills and knowledge but also nurture them to grow into compassionate global citizens.

Academics
We take a fearless approach to creating a wholesome learning environment imbued with a progressive curriculum that keeps pace with the world. Our students are globally-minded, confident, creative, and resilient individuals, ready to navigate an ever-evolving world.
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.
Every Child Learns Differently
No two students are the same, and neither should their learning be. At Universal, we focus on individual needs to ensure that every child is both learning and engaged.

Early Years: The First Step for All-round Development
The early childhood curriculum is designed to meet the needs, interests and abilities of students to foster 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 experiences of touching, moving, listening, and observing.
Students have some control over the direction of their learning. iii.
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.
