These premises require strict adherence to their policies:
No loitering/occupancy in areas not designated for our use.
No changes to their setup and belongings at the classroom.
No use of their wireless network other than for teaching purposes.
No staining drinks or snacks inside the classroom. (Only drinking water for liquids).
No littering in the premises.
Any accidental damage to the property during our use should be informed and compensated.
As a community we should all cooperate to strictly adhere to their policies. Any violation would result in the immediate termination of our contract with them.
Syllabus:
We are combining MNTS Curriculum and ATA Curriculum to have diverse content for our teachers and students this year. Teachers will choose specific lesson/content from either of the curriculum as they find fit for their students. We will prescribe a minimum skill level criteria for each level and ensure the kids meet these requirements by the end of the school year. This will be shared to the parents early in the school year.
Please note that Arumbu Nilai students will be taught only ATA syllabus.
MNTS Curriculum
You can check "Minnesota Tamil School (MNTS)" syllabus here http://www.mntamilschool.org/mnts-syllabus-overview/
This syllabus is based on 4 basic language skills: Reading, Writing, Speaking & Listening.
Each Nilai will have 3 Terms with 8 lessons each.
MNTS prescribed text books and homework books will be provided. Books will be printed for each term and distributed at the beginning of the term.
Please note that MNTS is planning on a paperless Learning Management System (LMS) this year and informed us to utilize last year books if needed.
