Our teaching methodology

We help students build strong foundations in Maths and English, including spoken English. Our goal is to create a fun, supportive space where students pick up the skills they need to break generational shackles. We also inculcate values like good citizenship and life skills like critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity, so they’re ready for tomorrow.

Tailoring a unique curriculum

Since 2018-19, we’ve aligned our curriculum with National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) standards to give volunteers and students a clear framework that supports our philosophy.

Students start with us in Grade 2 and continue to get tutoring, mentorship, and support. Our vocational counselling for Grades 11 and 12 bridges the gap between what students know and what they need to excel in school.

AXF English Curriculum

We know that being good at English opens doors for our students. That’s why we’ve emphasised functional literacy through the CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) approach.

Receptive skills (listening and reading) + Productive skills (speaking and writing) = Real-world conversations and communication.

AXF Maths Curriculum

 We use the Concrete-Representational-Abstract (CRA) model that blends direct instruction with discovery learning. It includes hands-on demonstrations, guided practice, and independent work. Also, immediate feedback helps students with conceptual and procedural knowledge.

Focus on life skills

In today’s world, life skills are just as important as academics. That’s why our life skills curriculum covers 10 core skills recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO).
We also focus on promoting equal opportunities for girls. We advocate for higher education, career goals, and equal treatment at home.

Parent-Teacher Meetings (PTMs)

We keep parents informed about their child’s progress and advocate for higher education and career goals through regular PTMs. These meetings create a strong partnership between parents and teachers, ensuring that students have the support they need both through AXF and at home.

AXF Assessment Methodology

We closely monitor each student’s progress with regular assessments. At the start of the year, we conduct baseline assessments to place students in the right learning groups. We also carry out monthly tests and an endline assessment to measure progress.
