The key overall thrust of curriculum and pedagogy reform across all stages will be to move the education system towards real understanding and towards learning how to learn, and away from the culture of rote learning as is largely present today. The aim of education will not only be cognitive development, but also building character and creating holistic and wellrounded individuals equipped with the key 21st century skills. Ultimately, knowledge is a deep-seated treasure and education helps in its manifestation as the perfection which is already within an individual.
Curriculum content is reduced in each subject to its core essentials by CBSE to make space for critical thinking and more holistic, inquiry-based, discovery-based, discussion-based, and analysis- based learning. Teaching and learning is conducted in a more interactive manner; questions are encouraged, and classroom sessions contain more fun, creative, collaborative, and exploratory activities for students for deeper and more experiential learning.
In all stages, experiential learning is adopted, including hands-on learning, arts-integrated and sports-integrated education, story-telling-based pedagogy, among others, as standard pedagogy within each subject, and with explorations of relations among different subjects. Art-integrated education is embedded in classroom transactions not only for creating joyful classrooms, but also for imbibing the Indian ethos through integration of Indian art and culture in the teaching and learning process at every level. This art-integrated approach will strengthen the linkages between education and culture. Sports-integration is another cross-curricular pedagogical approach that utilizes physical activities including indigenous sports, in pedagogical practices to help in developing skills such as collaboration, self-initiative, self-direction, self-discipline, teamwork, responsibility, citizenship, etc. Sports-integrated learning will be undertaken in classroom transactions to help students adopt fitness as a lifelong attitude.

The Junior School curriculum is child-centered and activity based so that learning is made fun and enjoyable. Middle School is the most exciting and tumultuous years in any student’s life. This is when fun filled activities like cookery, gardening, dance, music, and chess rub shoulders with academic endeavour. At J.P.P.S , the middle school years (ie. Classes 6-8) are focused at helping each child to cope and come to terms with these changes. A plethora of activities are offered to both channelize boundless energy as well as hone natural talent. Assemblies happen twice a week to imbue confidence in each child to speak in front of an audience. Assemblies are also a platform to tap the innate creativity and ability of a child. Inter-house activities dealing with theatre, recitation, painting, G.K Quiz etc provide ample opportunities to each child. Interactive teaching through theatre, projects, presentations and hands on activities provides the mainstay to the academic thrust in the middle school.
