Our Programs | CASCADE Family Learning Society

Education is the experience which helps your child to capitalise on her potential. CASCADE works carefully to make available such formative and constructive experience that will help your child in becoming a ‘thinking’ ‘doing’ individual.

In a mixed age group set up, children are engaged purposefully in a variety of activities by AMI certified Pre-primary (3-6) and Elementary (6-12) teachers who guide the classroom through materials and experiments. Classes are conducted with flexible timings for children to attend sessions 4 to 5 times a week.

Experiential hands-on learning Montessori materials for all subjects are presented through an approach to education advocated by Dr. Montessori for children aged 3 to 6 years to provide for the Absorbent mind and from 6 to 12 years as Cosmic Education.
