Primary Curriculum

Primary Curriculum

At GM Legacy School, the Primary Curriculum builds upon the strong foundation laid in the early years and focuses on developing core academic skills, learning habits, values, and confidence in children.

The Primary Stage corresponds mainly to the Preparatory Stage of NEP 2020 and the early part of the Middle Stage, typically covering children between the ages of 6 and 11 years.

Our primary education programme aims to make learning meaningful, joyful, and skill-oriented, while steadily preparing students for subject-based learning in higher classes.
