The Curriculum department handles the day to day activities in the school which involves the child’s learning. It handles both academic and co-curricular activities. 
The KG Classes and our Grade Classes follow the thematic curriculum with a hybrid teaching approach. All the academic learning is done on themes and in all subjects. 
The academic activities are stressed knowing very well that it is the main door through which a child goes to explore the world. It is also a way of showing someone’s intellectual capabilities. Several parents whose children have gone through this school give testimony that their Children’s academic performance has never been questioned in the secondary schools where they go.

Moreover, our school provides a safe and secure environment, ensuring the well-being of every child. We have implemented strict safety protocols and procedures to maintain a healthy and hygienic setting, considering the current global circumstances. Rest assured, we prioritize the health and safety of our students, staff, and community above all else.

To begin the admissions process, we encourage you to visit our school and meet our dedicated faculty who will gladly guide you through the application procedure, discuss our curriculum in detail, and answer any questions you may have. We believe in fostering a strong partnership between our school and parents, as together, we can nurture and support your child's growth and development.

All children are gifts and  capable of achieving positive early learning and developmental outcomes and there should be high expectations for all young children. Through ongoing formative assessment, teachers track each child's learning and development and plan their next learning steps according to their learning stages and pace.

Children learn to be strong and independent through positive relationships. Teachers are supportive and responsive to each child's needs, feelings and interests and diversity is valued and respected.

Children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates. Multiple learning activities and opportunities are offered to challenge, engage and meet each child's individual readiness, learning style and interests

Parents are partners. Parents are encouraged to be actively engaged with their child's early education. Ongoing communication and an active partnership are encouraged to ensure positive outcomes.

Our core values of Moral integrity, Ambition, Responsibility, Discipline and Kindness are the foundation of Brooklyn Academy and underpin all our teaching and learning approaches. We aim to develop a love of lifelong learning coupled with a culture of perseverance in the face of challenge so that our learners can flourish emotionally, socially, academically and physically.

Our learners are encouraged to challenge themselves, think critically, explore different ways of doing things, reflect on their learning, collaborate and be a team player.

We believe this is fundamental in developing a child's sense of well-being, nurturing their resilience, self-esteem, sense of respect for others and sense of social responsibility.

The priority of the Early Years Foundation Stage programme is a holistic approach to the care and education of children, and to their all-round emotional and physical development, taking into account their relationship with the world and people around them.
