Inventure Academy is an international school offering the ISCE, ISC, IGCSE, AS and A Level Examinations. The curriculum is based on the guidelines provided by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examination (CISCE) and the Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) Boards of Education. The custom-made curriculum is highly experiential, contextual, activity-oriented and founded on multifaceted, multidisciplinary teaching approaches. We follow a common school-based curriculum up to Grade 8 – after which students opt for their choice of board: ICSE or IGCSE.

In Pre Primary (both at Inventure Academy and at the Inventure Preschool, Whitefield), the curriculum is stimulating and experiential allowing children to explore the world around them in small enquiry cycles. The theme-based approach encourages children to make multiple connections and view all learning as a part of a larger context. ‘Themes’ act as the foundation for understanding concepts as well as acquiring competencies in reading, writing and science.

In Primary School, Thematic Learning helps students acquire holistic understanding through an interdisciplinary approach. Learning is enquiry-based and experiential. Children learn through a variety of activities designed to incorporate Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences. The emphasis is on critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity.

In Middle School, learning takes place through research and independent study. In higher classes, we use a multidisciplinary approach combined with real-world application of curricula.
In Senior School, we focus on conceptual knowledge and the skills of application, analysis and higher order thinking. We also prepare students for the examinations of National and International Boards.

Another 3 weeks in July-August allows approximately the same number of days at school as the traditional calendar, with intermittent breaks to maximize wider world learning opportunities, both in India and overseas..
