The Primary School curriculum offers an exciting and creative learning environment, with an interdisciplinary appreciation of Languages, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies, as individual and integrated subjects. Kannada is taught as a Second Language, while Hindi is offered as the Third Language, which helps build a strong foundation in Indian languages.

The wide range of curricular and co-curricular opportunities offered helps instill in children confidence and discipline. The focus on developing communication skills helps them appreciate the value of education, as it reflects in their ability to express themselves, in addition to developing pragmatic skills. Field trips and excursions aid in developing social skills and in raising awareness about the world.

At SSTIPS equal emphasis is given to individual, small group and whole-group activities, to improve children's ability to work across all levels. Physical Education develops sports skills and creates health awareness. Exposure to team and individual sports encourage a sense of team spirit, and individual effort and accomplishment.

We follow NCERT books for Middle School. National Council of Education, Research and Training (NCERT) has been attributed the role of developing as well as distributing textbooks to the students at primary and secondary level. These books, generally named as NCERT books, are highly useful for the CBSE students as they prepare for their annual exams. These books focus on fundamentals to help the students clear the basic concepts. NCERT books are allinclusive and accomplished in their own sense.
