Curriculam
At St. Francis School, Education for Life, Excellence in Education and Commitment to a meaningful Education are our prime importance. Quality education is provided to each and every child. We believe that love for education should be developed for children in initial years and conditions should be created for them to pursue a positive approach in life. A unidirectional teaching method is being increasingly substituted by a multidirectional group workshop method. Here the teacher becomes the group co-ordinator initiating work, nurturing students without the phobia of examinations and homework. Development of oral and written expression is emphasized upon. Home assignments are not a carry-over of class work but oriented towards honing individual talents.
