Academics

A curriculum children can follow, and parents can understand

Every grade has a plan: what your child will learn, how we will know they have learned it, and what you can expect to hear from us along the way.

Curriculum overview

Built stage by stage, not year by year

Each stage has its own job. The early years build language and independence. Primary builds fluency and number sense. Middle school builds subject thinking. High school prepares for board examinations without turning the classroom into a coaching centre.

Teachers plan together once a week, so a child moving from Grade 2 to Grade 3 does not start again from scratch — the work continues from where it left off.

  • Written yearly plan for every subject and grade
  • Common planning time for teachers, every week
  • Progress shared with parents each term, in plain language

Stage Grades Ages Focus of the year
Pre-Primary Nursery – KG 3–5 Language, early numbers, independence
Primary Grades 1–5 6–10 Reading fluency, number sense, curiosity
Middle Grades 6–8 11–13 Subject thinking, labs, study habits
High Grades 9–10 14–16 Depth of understanding, board preparation

Ages 3–5

Pre-Primary

These years are about language, listening, and learning to manage a school day. There is plenty of movement, story and play — and quietly, a great deal of structure underneath it.

Subjects and activities

  • English: phonics, rhymes, listening, early writing
  • Number work: counting, sorting, shapes, patterns
  • Hindi or the regional language: songs and spoken words
  • Art, music, movement and outdoor play

Grades 1–5 · Ages 6–10

Primary

Primary is where reading becomes automatic and numbers stop being frightening. We protect reading time in the timetable — every child reads aloud to an adult at least twice a week.

Subjects

  • English: reading, grammar, writing, speaking
  • Second language: Hindi or the regional language
  • Mathematics: number, measurement, geometry, problem solving
  • Environmental studies: science and social studies together
  • Computer basics, art, music, sport and library

Grades 6–10 · Ages 11–16

Middle & High

From Grade 6 the subjects separate and the thinking gets deeper. Laboratory work, written assignments and project work are assessed as part of the term, not as extras.

Grade 9 and 10 are focused on the board examination. We add revision cycles, timed practice and one-to-one feedback — and we keep sport and art on the timetable, because fourteen-year-olds still need to move.

Subjects

  • English, second language, and a third language in Grade 6–8
  • Mathematics and Science, with laboratory work
  • Social Science: history, geography, civics, economics
  • Computer science, art, music and physical education
  • Career guidance sessions from Grade 9

How we teach

Four habits you will see in every classroom

Teaching is a craft, not a script. These are the practices we expect to find in every room, from Nursery to Grade 10.

Small-group instruction

A child who needs a different pace gets it during the lesson, not after school. Groups change weekly, not yearly.

Mastery before moving on

We check that a topic is understood before the next one starts, and we tell you early if it is not.

Project and lab work

Doing the thing is how you understand the thing. Every grade completes at least one project each term.

Specific feedback

Not “good work”, but “your introduction needs a clear question”. Children can act on that, and so can you.

Assessment

How we know it is working

We assess in order to teach better, not to sort children into rows. Marks go to parents and are never read out or displayed in class.

Observation and classwork

In pre-primary and the early primary years, teachers record what each child can do through daily observation, reading records and samples of their work.

Term assessments

From Grade 3, written assessments in each subject every term — always preceded by revision in class, so no child is tested on material they never saw.

Practical and project work

In middle and high school, laboratory work, notebooks, presentations and projects carry a share of the term mark.

Reports and meetings

A written report and a 15-minute parent–teacher meeting every term. If something needs attention sooner, we call you — you should not have to wait until the end of the year to find out.

Lesson plans, question papers and internal teaching documents are not published here. Parents are welcome to discuss their child's progress with the class teacher at any time.

Learning outcomes

What we are working towards, by stage

These are the outcomes our teachers hold themselves to. You will hear how your own child is doing against them at each parent–teacher meeting.

Settled

By the end of KG: your child arrives happily, asks for help, and joins in.

Reading

By the end of Grade 2: reading short books aloud, and choosing to read.

Independent

By the end of Grade 8: planning their own work, revising without being chased.

Ready

By Grade 10: examination-ready, and still curious about something outside the syllabus.

Co-curricular

Beyond the timetable

Sport, music, art and clubs run through the week. Exact activities and timings differ by campus — ask the school office what is running this term.

    Athletics, football, cricket, badminton and yoga. Every child takes part — teams are not reserved for the best players.

  • Music and art

    Class music, singing, drawing and craft, with a school exhibition and performance each year.

  • Clubs and service

    Reading, science and eco clubs, plus community projects that older students plan and run themselves.
