In today’s competitive world, education is not just about reading books and scoring marks—it’s about building essential life skills that help children think critically, express confidently, and solve problems creatively. At Guru Global School Airoli, we go beyond traditional teaching methods and include specialized activities like Phonics, Abacus, and Vedic Maths to help children grow in every direction—academically, mentally, and emotionally.

 What Are Life Skills, and Why Do They Matter?

Life skills are the abilities that enable individuals to handle the demands and challenges of everyday life effectively. For young children, this includes:

• Clear communication

• Confidence and decision-making

• Focus and memory power

• Logical thinking and problem-solving

• Emotional awareness and social behavior

The early years are the best time to develop these skills because a child’s brain is most active and adaptable. That’s why our programs are designed to nurture these abilities from the very start.

Phonics – The Key to Confident Reading

Phonics is a method of teaching children how to read and write by connecting sounds (phonemes) to letters (graphemes). At Guru Global School:

• We use playful, interactive phonics sessions to build strong language foundations.

• Children learn pronunciation, spelling patterns, and blending sounds.

• This improves vocabulary, reading speed, and speaking confidence.

By the time they reach senior KG, our students can read short sentences fluently and begin writing small stories—all thanks to a strong phonics base.

Abacus – Sharpening Mental Calculation & Concentration

The Abacus is not just a math tool—it’s a brain development tool that improves focus, visualization, and memory. Our abacus sessions help students:

• Solve addition, subtraction, and multiplication problems mentally

• Boost concentration, photographic memory, and confidence

• Develop analytical and problem-solving abilities from an early age

We’ve seen how even shy children open up and participate more actively once they start Abacus classes—it’s learning disguised as fun!

Vedic Maths – Fast, Fun, and Flexible Calculations

Vedic Maths is an ancient Indian method that allows fast and easy calculations. Though simplified for young learners, it:

• Makes children love numbers instead of fearing them

• Trains them to calculate quickly without using fingers or calculators

• Encourages logical reasoning and math fluency

By introducing Vedic Maths early, we’re helping children get ahead not just in school, but in competitive exams and real-life problem-solving.

Activities That Complete the Circle of Learning

In addition to academics, we offer a variety of creative and physical development activities that build life skills naturally:

• Dance Classes to improve rhythm, confidence, and self-expression

• Storytelling and Role Play to encourage imagination and communication

• Handwriting Classes for neatness, focus, and motor skill development

• Group Activities and Games to teach teamwork, patience, and cooperation

Each activity is designed to build character, not just knowledge.

What Parents Say

“My daughter couldn’t read fluently a few months ago, but after joining the phonics classes, she reads storybooks on her own!” – Mrs. Sneha Deshmukh

“The abacus training made a huge difference in my son’s focus. He’s quicker with numbers and more confident in class.” – Mr. Ajay Thakur

Final Thought

At Guru Global School Airoli, education is not limited to books—it’s about building strong minds, confident personalities, and future-ready children. By integrating Phonics, Abacus, Vedic Maths, and skill-based activities, we prepare our students not just for school, but for life.
