We Don’t Just Teach. We Design Learning.
At Meluha International School, teaching is a craft guided by intent. Every lesson begins with a question — “What should students truly understand and be able to do?”
Using the Backward Design Framework, our educators first define outcomes, then plan assessments that measure understanding, and finally create learning experiences that lead to those goals.
This clarity ensures that every classroom moment contributes meaningfully to long-term mastery.
Primary School (Grades 1–5)
Cultivating Curiosity. Unlocking Potential
At The Meluha Primary, learning is joyful, meaningful, and built on curiosity. Our curriculum blends CBSE NCF expectations with inquiry-based, experiential learning drawn from real-world themes such as materials, forces, habitats, communities, stories, recounts, instructions, fractions, and shapes. Children learn by exploring, experimenting, asking questions, and applying knowledge to daily life.
We focus on strong foundations in literacy, numeracy, science, and social understanding, while equally nurturing confidence, creativity, communication, and character.

Measuring What Truly Matters
Assessment at MIS is not about ranking students — it’s about understanding how they learn. We use rubrics, portfolios, and conferences to celebrate progress and identify next steps.
Each student maintains a Learning Profile on the Classet platform, tracking conceptual mastery, skill growth, and behavioural attributes.
Continuous Assessment
Skill-based rubrics
Theme-end tasks
Minimal summative assessments
Minimal homework
Reports include
- Narrative teacher feedback.
- Growth indicators (conceptual, skill, and attitude scales).
- Recommendations for home support or enrichment.
Learning Support & Inclusion
Every Child Can Thrive
We believe in inclusion — academic and emotional.
The Learning Support Department identifies students’ learning profiles, provides bridge programs, and collaborates with parents and teachers for personalized strategies.
Tools include remedial classes, differentiation in instruction, and assistive technology.
Student Wellness Integration
- Emotional counselling
- Academic remediation
- Social skill workshops
- Regular parent reviews
