Curriculum

Stepping Stone inter-college, Gorakhpur has taken the challenge to enhance and acquaint the learners to understand the new perspective of education by meeting the challenges of the present era by developing a world view in every field of education for this dynamic generation. We are making ceaseless efforts to develop the skills needed by developing support materials and literature for curriculum transaction. Attempts are made to test global comprehension and exploration beyond the set text. The whole module has been reset and a new format and typeface is used to stimulate the imagination of students and create an incentive to create expression.

Throughout the session, the emphasis is placed upon :

• Valuing one’s experience
• Observing and investigating
• Aiming to instruct, convince, and to persuade through careful planning and clear thinking.

Students and teachers measure the degrees of progress made through various assessments conducted from time to time and the results of which are entered on individual progress charts.
Students are taught to practice self-criticism which helps them in the valuable educative process through their self-criticism charts. Through this, the child acquires the ability to learn and measure his progress by weighing his work against his own intention. The main motto of the school curriculum is to inculcate the human values, faith in God, love for fellow beings and the academic excellence to transform their mind with a greater vision to see this world with a positive outlook and hence always be a channel of love and morally upright human being so that they can be an asset to this world at large.
