The Primary School Programme

Primary School Grades 1–5

Building strong foundations through exploration, discovery and meaningful learning

The Primary School programme at MVJ International School (MVJIS) nurtures children through an important stage of academic, social and personal development. A structured, subject-based curriculum meets interactive, experiential and activity-based learning, helping students build knowledge, skills and confidence in a stimulating environment.

Through play, exploration, discovery and hands-on experiences, students investigate their surroundings, work with different materials, ask questions and solve problems. This “learning by doing” approach nurtures curiosity, independent thinking and a deeper understanding of concepts.

Language learning at MVJIS

Language is more than a means of communication—it is a gateway to culture, knowledge, creativity and understanding.

At the Primary level, students develop the foundations to listen, speak, read and write with confidence. Learning multiple languages also supports cognitive development, communication, problem-solving, concentration, creativity and mental flexibility.

Our multilingual approach helps students appreciate different cultures, traditions and perspectives while developing respect for linguistic diversity.

Kannada language

MVJIS follows the applicable language policy of the Government of Karnataka. Kannada is offered as a first or second language from Grades I to X, in accordance with the prescribed curriculum. The programme builds progressively on early-years foundations, developing reading, writing, vocabulary, grammar and communication.
