Our Curriculum
At The Happy Project, learning is powered by the Dreamtime Learning approach — designed to move children beyond rote memorization and scores. With values like purpose, courage, growth, and sustainability at its heart, it encourages children to explore, question, and express freely. Every activity, story, and interaction is crafted to nurture not just knowledge, but confidence, empathy, and joy helping little ones grow into curious and conscious individuals.
Our curriculum is aligned with leading global frameworks like NCF, IB, IGCSE, CBSE, EYFS, and ICSE, and draws from best practices across Finland, Australia, India, New Zealand, and England. Guided by our three pillars absorb, interact, and create, we promote active learning and mastery, while also fostering eco-literacy and environmental responsibility from an early age.
Beyond academics
At The Happy Project, we recognise that Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is an integral part of education and human development. We focus on helping our learners progress not only academically but also develop healthy identities. Our curriculum includes activities based on the Casel Framework that encourage learners to become self-aware, equip them with skills to regulate emotions, and make responsible choices while on their journey to self-mastery.
