ST.XAVIER’S AND PURPLE TURTLE
Purple turtle has been conceptualised by a group of visionaries, who form the management board of the esteemed St Xavier’s group of school. The members of the board are renowned educationist themselves. It is due to his deep passion, brilliant vision and a structured approach that the group has been able to achieve a whopping number of 54 schools, which are all successfully running across 7 states across India. Education they believed is not confined to textbooks to make student simply crammers, but it should out bring out the best from every child. Education needs to provide the life skills to make the children leaders and not followers. Never in life should a teacher experience failure, in transforming a dull one into an intellect incarnate. The member of the board have widely travelled through schools across the world and have hence envisaged spreading world class education in the country with schools with a difference. However education is incomplete if the same vision is not followed in the formative year. ‘Purple Turtle” is the outcome of this thought process. With Purple Turtle, their mission is to bring into the education realm, a chain of preschool which is unique and child-centric. The parents can look forward to sending their child to a preschool which is modern yet value based, technologically very advanced and with a unique and well researched curriculum.

The Purple Turtle Curriculum
The school has a well defined curriculum based on the Harvard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences theory, hence the teaching and evaluation of the children are completely based on the individual learning styles without comparing one child with another in any area. We do not follow the age-old rigid syllabus wherein as soon a child enters the pre-school, he/she is handed a pencil and made to write pages and pages, without a thought on what is being understood. At Purple Turtle, we understand the developmental milestones, i.e. the expected stages the children need to go through and hence our lesson plans are based totally on those; starting the writing process with air and sand writing and the speaking/reading process with Phonics. Children are explained concepts with hands-on experiences and a lot of visual and audio inputs. The language teaching through phonics ensures that the pronunciation and listening skills are given adequate practice everyday.
There are other activities like dance, music, martial arts, yoga and age-appropriate games which ensure an all-round development of the children.
