Methodology
Teaching is all rounded, incorporating activities that cater to the multiple intelligence level for each learner.
Our teaching methods are designed to be highly interactive, to ensure children are drawn into an environment of discovery and learning.
Our methodology is based on the theory of multiple intelligences and proposes the differentiation of human intelligence into specific modalities of intelligence, rather than defining intelligence as a single, general ability.
Academics here is focussed on holistic development of the learner both in knowledge acquisition, skill and personality development.
We encourage our learners to be curious, kinaesthetic, disciplined and artistic in addition to book based learning.
Curriculum
Kindergarten Program
Kindergarten classes follow a blend of activity based learning with English and Math delivered through worldwide acknowledged programs. Communication skills are given special attention to enable them to be ready for the demands of Grade 1.
Our method is backed by high level academic skills along with healthy social, physical and emotional development. Special emphasis is placed on social interactions and group behaviour. For, we believe learning becomes effective when children have the social skills to curb disruptive behaviour. We provide activities that teach skills like problem solving, emotion management, impulse control and virtues of patience.
These are delivered through our hands-on, activity based curriculum. Instead of going against the laws of nature by forcing the child, we play “Follow the child”, and allow them to show us how we can facilitate their development to achieve their full potential while create an abiding interest in learning.
Grades 1 – 10
In addition to a rigorous academic curriculum, students are encouraged to develop their skills in the areas of elocution, critical thinking, leadership and inter-personal skills. Co-curricular activities are essential to keep perspective and provide balance to a student’s academic pursuits. An interesting calendar of activities encompass field trips, participation in sports, yoga, music, dance, debates, public speaking and quizzes to ensure vibrant co-curricular activities.
Educational Tools
Children are assisted in their learning programs with visits to laboratories from as early as the 6th Grade. Various learning tools are also shared with students for an enriching learning experience in various subjects.
Special emphasis on peer to peer interaction enables children to be vocal about their thoughts and gives them a platform to express themselves freely.
We believe this process will instill a natural curiosity for learning besides developing their imagination for the wonders of acquired knowledge.
The Learning Environment
We employ the very latest learning technologies to make classrooms interactive and crackling.
A special emphasis on peer to peer interaction, debates, quiz programs, audio-visuals and class discussions are conducted to sensitize young minds to the nuances of the lesson. Experts in various fields are invited to interact with the students.
Differentiator
The key differentiator at Brookfield High is the attention to the student’s pace of learning. Trained facilitators make sure every child is provided with all the opportunities to maximise his/her potential in a conducive environment.

No other quality is emerging as imperative as good communication skills in today’s world. Hence, we help develop superior communication skills with special emphasis on language which includes writing, reading, oration, diction and comprehension. In addition, great importance is given to listening skills.
Elocution is conducted every month from Pre-K onwards . Every student is exposed to a structured elocution program to build skills and confidence. Reading programs along with library time helps develop vocabulary and reading skills.
Technology
The information age is upon us. The increasing global importance of our economy and the technology leadership of Bangalore necessitates a learning environment that integrates technology at the core of the learning process.
