Children are natural scientists, and at FIS they are encouraged to explore and observe, use their logic, analyze and then come to conclusion. We provide our young learners with ample opportunities to apply what they have learnt in the form of Project displays and Experiments conducted.

To be a caring citizen of this world, it is important to understand and culturally diverse country first. At FIS we encourage our children to first explore their immediate environment and then their city, state, country and the world. Festivals and national events are celebrated with great enthusiasm and all the children participate enthusiastically.
At the Junior School we aim to build a strong Mathematics foundation in our children. We encourage learning of new concepts through activities using Maths games equipment, puzzles and worksheets and creating real life situations.
Ongoing Assessment is a very important aspect for both the learner and the teacher. The work done in all the subjects (academic and non-academic) is reviewed periodically and discusses with students and parents.
We believe that the parents need to get involved with their children’s learning process and so provide an opportunity for the same in the form of Homework. Homework is set for approximately 25 minutes to 45 minutes of work depending on the class. Parents are expected to go through and sign all the work sent home for their perusal. Homework also encourages self-study for the student.
At the Primary and Junior School, sports are taught as a subject. The sports curriculum is graded for each class and based on skill development. There is a Games period allocated on all days and children are expected to play and participate in all events.
Athletic Meet, Cross Country, Inter House Cricket, Basket Ball, and Football matches are a part of our yearly calendar.
Students of I to V also have gymnastics in their curriculum. As a part of leadership and team building exercises, and to break away from the day monotony our students go on a three days outstation tour. This important event on our school calendar in keenly looked forward to by all the children.
Picnics and excursions form another very popular agenda of our yearly plan, where, children are taken out of school for the day on a planned activity. This not only helps in bonding amongst different groups of students, but also strengthens the teacher- student bond. Occasional movies shown in school, the Annual School Fete, are some of the other activities our children enjoy through the year.
The Junior School works according to school timings. We have two breaks in between. The first break is called the Fruit Break, where a fresh snacks, fruit and drink is provided to all the students. The Lunch Break sees the children walk into the Dining Hall for a hot well balanced meal served to them on their tables. A healthy body and a healthy mind! We firmly believe in that.
