The Prerna Class
Established in the early 1960s, the Prerna Class at St. Thomas' School was founded with the objective of providing inclusive learning support to students of diverse abilities.
The programme presently comprises Prerna Senior sections age group (8–12 years).
Curriculum and Learning Support
The curriculum is carefully designed to meet the individual learning needs of each student, with a suitably reduced and simplified syllabus. Instruction is differentiated to ensure that every learner progresses at a pace appropriate to their ability, while developing foundational academic competence.
The programme places special emphasis on the development of self-esteem, effective study habits, memory, communication skills, behaviour management, and attention span. Individual attention, structured routines, and continuous guidance form an integral part of the learning process.
Assessment and Examination Provisions
Assessment is conducted in accordance with CBSE guidelines for Children with Special Needs. Students are offered subject substitution, along with the facility of a scribe, a prompter, and additional time during examinations, as applicable.
Progress is monitored through continuous and comprehensive evaluation, with regular feedback provided to parents to ensure consistent academic and personal growth.
Inclusion and Holistic Development
Students of the Prerna Class participate fully in all co-curricular and school activities, thereby fostering confidence, independence, and holistic development. Students may attend the Prerna Class for specific subjects, or remain within the programme until they are prepared for integration into the regular classroom.
Admissions
Admissions to the Prerna Class are considered on the basis of an individual assessment of the child's learning needs, along with relevant documentation and prior academic records. Parents seeking admission are requested to contact the school office for further guidance regarding the admission procedure and required documentation.
