The initial years at VIS are five years of sheer joy, experiences, and learning while the children explore the environment around them. A strong foundation, therefore, is laid for years to come whilst the children learn to read, write and solve problems independently. Free thinking, guided exploration, collaboration, and free expression are hallmarks of Venkateshwar International School. Learning during these years is organized around the four foundational conditions that are important for children to grow and Flourish- Belonging, Well-Being, Engagement, and Expression. The team of mentors comprises professionally trained, experienced, and nurturing mother-teachers who are naturally inclined towards forming an affectionate bond with the children, thereby encouraging a non-threatening atmosphere of learning at school. The curriculum is designed around themes that encourage responsibility towards sustainable development; is integrated to encompass a holistic understanding of concepts; and focuses on promoting each child’s unique abilities.
