Lower School
Children master the fundamental skills for learning during their lower school years. The curriculum flows developmentally, in harmony with the child’s growth. In the early years, the teacher directs the learning through fairy tales, fables, myths and legends, building the foundations of language and expression.

Middle School
In their first years of adolescence, children are led by a greater interest in the world around them, and are ready for greater academic challenges and social experiences. Formal Sciences are introduced in middle school — often by Specialist Teachers in addition to the Class Teacher who has been with the students since Grade 1.

High School
By the end of middle school, students have not only grown in their knowledge and skills, but have also gained an understanding of how things learned in the classroom are connected to each other, to the world, and to their own lives.
At this point, students of Sloka transition into a new syllabus as the CBSE curriculum is introduced. However, we have worked to ensure that Waldorf principles continue to sustain and enrich their journey through the new curriculum.
