Bal Bharati is one of the prime institutions of our country which implements the Montessori system of education at the pre primary stage. Montessori Method is an effective way of 'learning by doing'. In BBPS, through Montessori Method, a sensible, scientific, structured, and child centered environment is provided which allows the child to develop at his/ her own pace. The children have the freedom to choose their own activities which are available in class. By doing this the children become enthusiastic learners. Learning becomes an enjoyable process. Activities are given on individual basis, in small groups or collectively. This helps the child to adjust to the new environment. The teacher is also able to learn more about the child and his individual needs.

                      The Montessori apparatus comprises of Preliminary Activities, Exercises of Practical Life, Sensorial Activities and Arithmetic Activities. Activity sheets are prepared to reinforce the concepts given by the apparatus. Art & Craft is an integral part of the learning process. A number of outdoor activities like swimming, aerobics, cycling and swings are also available for the children. Inter and intra class competitions are held throughout the year which helps children to recognize their inherent talents and also helps them to develop a competitive spirit.

The curriculum for classes I-VIII is designed  keeping in view the  system of Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation(CCE) introduced by CBSE. For classes IX and X, the curriculum prescribed  by CBSE is strictly adhered to. CCE is an evaluation technique to provide holistic profile of the learner through the regular assessments of scholastic and co-scholastic domains of the learner. This scheme aims at making evaluation  an integral part of the teaching learning process. It  helps to identify  the learning gaps and makes it possible to take remedial and enrichment measures specific to each learner.

For classes XI and XII, the curriculum prescribed by CBSE is followed. The students are offered three streams-Humanities, Science and Commerce.

Evaluation and assessment is a continuous process in the Montessori department. There are three terms in which the children are assessed through day to day activities. No formal exam or test is conducted. The progress report is prepared in each term which provides a comprehensive record of each child's growth and development. Grades are given from A+ to D and the child is assessed accordingly. No child is detained in the Montessori department. Children with outstanding performance in academics and co-curricular activities are awarded certificates.
