What are the qualifications of the teachers?

All the teachers are certified through compulsory NTT training, a certified training benchmark required to teach kids pre-primary, and all our teachers are experienced in handling the tiny tots. We are very selective about the teachers we select. We ensure that the teachers can provide love, care, and grooming to these tiny tots.

What is the bag load for the children, and is homework given?

We usually don’t give homework to the children in pre-primary. This is because we believe in learning with fun, and we don’t think learning is fun with compulsion and pressure.

The bag load of the child is taken seriously in our schools, and we divide the school timetable in such a way that the bag weight must stay within 1 kg almost all the time (as per the defined guidelines).

What is the exam pattern?

We don’t have any examination system for pre-primary kids. We operate with the concept of worksheets where each child solves the worksheets, and we identify which child is lacking on an individual basis. The schedule of the worksheet-based evaluation varies every year and we release the schedule and inform the parents well in advance.

What are the co-curricular activities provided to the children?

Art, dance, music, and swimming classes are provided.

  • hour weekly extra time for competitions and creative activities.
  • Round the year, we have activities scheduled for the children, at least 2 activities, 2 competitions, and interesting sessions scheduled every month. The schedule and details of these activities are released by the Co-Academics team at the beginning of every session.
How many days does the school run?

For the students of Pre-Primary, classes run from Monday to Friday. Saturdays and Sundays are off. Some Saturdays will have Parents-Teachers Interactions and some will have activities for the students. Once the students upgrade to Class I, classes will be conducted from Monday to Saturday.

Is transportation provided to the students?

Yes, we provide transportation facilities to students residing within the vicinity of Angul city. We generally request parents of pre-primary students not to send their children via school transport as the kids are too small to travel via school buses, and their safety is our concern. However, if any parent has any compulsion and still wants to avail transport, we allow it on an exceptional basis.

Post admission, you will be notified of the contact details of the transportation team. You can also click on the transportation link and apply through the ODMConnect app by selecting the stoppage you want. Once the application is approved, you will be notified of the bus details along with the driver details on the ODMConnect app, and you can track daily updates from the same.
