Julian Nursery School is an English medium co-educational nursery school for boys and girls. The aim of the institution is to prepare students to be able to understand and speak English fluently and to lay a strong foundation through the play-way method for the formal education that wiil follow. Julian Nursery School is managed in association with Pearson Schools, the fastest growing chain of schools in India. We believe that prep school is a crucial time in a child’s life, being the first stage in a lifetime of learning. A thorough grounding is therefore needed to enable our children to succeed all the more easily as they grow older. We also believe in a learning experience that is full of joy and fun. For, it goes without saying, a love of learning is the first thing a child needs to conquer all the educational milestones that lie ahead.

Through:
PEDAGOGY
What constructs a well-structured teaching module? An effective pedagogy. Pedagogy is the science of teaching or education. At Pearson, our pedagogy focuses on ‘how’ teaching and learning occur. We use an array of teaching strategies that include direct instruction, collaborative learning and inquiry based learning. Ultimately, we aim to blend consistency and variety in teaching methods by combining established learning theories with innovative practices and programmes. All of which help students to improve their learning outcomes and achieve their full potential.
THEORIES
Our teaching and learning theories are based on proven educational practices. At the same time, they are adapted to the contemporary and innovative methods gaining popularity across the globe today. We use cognitive, emotional, and environmental influences to help students absorb, process and retain information more effectively. We also make it a point to include a wide variety of experiential and visual approaches.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Our teaching methodologies are outcome-centric. This helps identify the progress students make after a specific learning activity, determining the gap between their existing learning condition and their desired learning state, while providing better direction to the planning of all learning activities.
A LEARNER CENTRIC FOCAL POINT
The delivery mechanisms followed by Pearson for school curricula are learner centric in order to make measurable impacts on students’ lives. Some of the learning outcomes we aim for are:
EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
In order to create a sustainable learning approach, we combine our core and supplementary curricula through board-prescribed content and innovative learning approaches; contemporary teaching techniques and special programmes and examples from everyday life to develop students’ understanding beyond textbooks.
TECHNOLOGY-ENABLED LEARNING
Our technology based learning solutions help developing skills specific to the 21st century, encouraging active engagement with the text, as well as conceptual, lateral and innovative thinking.
MX Touch
A personalised, degital table-based learning solution. loaded with Degitally, Pearson's award-winning multimedia-enabled teaching tool, it can be used by student in school and at home.
DigiClass
A multi-media based learning solution that combines state-of-the-art hardware with syllabi compliant content, customised to suit the syllabi offered by K-12 schools. As a result,traditional blackboard-and-chalk classrooms are transformed into interactive ones,making learning come alive for students.
A CHILD-FRIENDLY LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
Age-Appropriate Environments
Classrooms are designed to cater to the specific needs of students of all ages, providing them with a sense of security and consistency. Whether they are in kindergarten, middle school or high school, we ensure an environment tailor-made for their needs.
Sporting Facilities
The schools provide expansive playgrounds as well as a well-constructed sporting area ideal for a variety of games. As a result, there is both space and provision for all kinds of sport, as well as indoor games.
The Library
All our schools have a well-stocked library that includes periodicals, journals, magazines, newsletters, fiction, reference books and encyclopaediae. The library also offers integrated
learning programmes that include phonics for pre-primary levels and literary classics for older students.
INNOVATIVE IN-CLASS PRACTICES
Our teachers encourage learning beyond the prescribed curriculum by conducting various programmes and techniques to create a better classroom environment. Some of these tools include:
The Class Pyramid
Students who have shown merit in academics, co-curricular activities or social conduct, are given a place in a ‘class pyramid’. It essentially depicts the collective efforts and achievements of a class, and inspires students to work harder through healthy competition.
Group Activities
We believe that group activities help children to develop their communication skills and improve their interpersonal relationships. Collaborative learning techniques are used to improve team-building skills such as organisation, delegation, negotiation, teamwork, cooperation and leadership.
Circle Time
Circle Time is a social activity that encourages informal yet meaningful discussions in class, allowing students to exchange thoughts and learn from one another. The circle formation in which they sit ensures that each student can see all the other members of their class. We believe that it raises their self-worth while encouraging them to be more open and trusting.
Field Trips
Field trips help deepen a student’s interest in a topic by creating a more hands-on, relevant learning experience. They also benefit teachers by giving them opportunities to generate greater attentiveness to a subject. We schedule many field trips in an academic year; they have proven to be a great asset in the learning process.
Star of the Week
Star of the Week is a rewad mechanism that we use to build our student's self-confidence.A student is chosen every week to wear a "star",the student's parents visit the school during that week to share their child's positive attributes with his/her class.Apart from creating healthy self-esteem,this activity also facilitates a strong home-school partnership.
AN OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY A ROLE IN THE LEARNING PROCESS
Parents are methodically appraised of their child’s progress with the help of personal portfolios, while regular Open Houses allow them to directly interact with teachers. They are also involved in the many non-academic events and activities that occur in school, no matter how informal.
STUDENT PORTFOLIOS
The schools record students‘ efforts, progress and achievements. in individual portfolios, integral to assessing their academic journey. These portfolios reveal the skills and understanding of each student, and their growth over a period of time.
EQUAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR EVERY CHILD
No two children have the same abilities. However, it is important that when it comes to opportunities, they are on the same footing; we consciously ensure a uniform and equal environment for all our students.
AN INTERACTIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH PARENTS
We believe that it’s important to ensure that parents benefit in their child’s academic progress as well. This reassures many of their anxieties, creating a comfortable environment for parents, teachers and children to freely interact.
THE EASY TRANSFER OF STUDENTS ACROSS PEARSON’S NETWORK OF SCHOOLS IN INDIA
Re-location is often a difficult time for parents, primarily because of the complexities involved in transferring their child to a different school. However, children transferring between two Pearson Schools will not face the usual difficulties; this is due to a certain uniformity across all Pearson Schools with regard to the syllabus, co-curricular activities and the general environment.
INTERNATIONALLY CERTIFIED TRAINING FOR IMPROVED TEACHING SKILLS
At Pearson Schools, a teacher’s role extends far beyond the classroom. Each teacher is carefully selected after a rigorous selection process that includes tests and interviews. Our teachers are facilitators – they actively participate in initiating and organising unique classroom activities and learning methods. They are specially trained to do so through a series of training programmes. One of these is the In-Service Teaching Programme. It provides solutions to matters related to curricula, content and technology; it develops individual teaching styles; and it helps teachers to assess themselves using feedback from students, colleagues and the management. The In-Service Teaching Programme is certified by Pearson Assured Services, the U.K.’s largest awarding body.
ENABLING A SECURE FUTURE AS FACILITATORS
The Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, has entrusted the responsibility of conducting the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) to the CBSE board. The board follows a strict policy to ensure that the CTET is the minimum qualification required to be appointed as a teacher. The reasons for this are:
The CCE (Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation)
The CCE refers to a system of evaluation that covers all aspects of student development. It has a two-fold agenda: to ensure continuity in general assessments and to monitor behavioural outcomes that result from those assessments. The evaluation covers academic and social outcomes, generic skills, discipline-specific knowledge and inter-personal skills. It not only monitors the students’ progress, it also determines the effectiveness of teaching material and methods.
Student Engagement
Our teaching aids consist of well thought out lesson and activity plans to facilitate student interest and engagement. The uniformity of our teaching methodologies across the schools also ensure a uniform learning outcome.
An Optimised Workload
Workloads are carefully planned and divided to ensure teachers are consistently committed to both their work and their students.
Choosing your child’s first school can be a challenging task. After all, it marks the starting point of an educational journey that will last for nearly two decades. Therefore, an informed decision is required to choose the best possible school for your child. Keeping that in mind, we would like to outline our curriculum - a blend of the four most successful and acclaimed teaching programmes in the world. We believe in providing the first benchmark for a strong academic foundation.
