Eligibility

"The potential of the average person is like a huge ocean unsailed, a new continent unexplored, a world of possibilities waiting to be released and channelled towards some great goal." - Brian Trac

Thus exploring the potential of each & every individual student & channelising them rightly is the mission of the school, which the middle school grooming goes towards. Here, we make students set clear goals for themselves which increases their confidence develops their competence and boosts their levels of motivation as we firmly believe that "Goals are the fuel in the furnace of achievement."

Curriculum

Every student follows a methodical and streamlined ICSE curriculum till grade 5. They are given a choice between the ICSE curriculum and IGCSE curriculum on completion of grade 5. The syllabus is structured and the methodology of teaching is similar and more inclined towards experiential learning. The students learn by making projects, presentations, enacting role plays, having group discussions and the like and hence the concepts of learning get engraved in their minds. To reinforce the content of learning, culminating activities are taken up after every unit. This not only boosts the level of confidence of students, but also enables the parents to know and understand the growth of his child academically and intellectually.

Activities

Apart from the curriculum, every student is trained in any 2 areas of activity he/she is interested in and made to excel in that activity. This is done through SPA (sports and performance activities) in which experts from the fields of Skating, Basket Ball, Table Tennis, Taekwando, Cricket, Chess, Carom, Jazz, Speech and Drama train the students. Also, field trips form an integral part of the system which gives them hands on experience, thus enabling them to reiterate the concepts of learning.

Assessments

The process of evaluating and appraising a student’s growth is on-going. Regular assessment tests, unit tests and terminal exams enable the students to understand every unit thoroughly and manage time effectively, thus getting ready to face the more difficult pattern of assessments in the ensuing years.

Events

The Sports day and Annual concert held every year makes the student develop independence, team work thus raising their confidence and self esteem. Each and every student is given a platform to display his talent and potential. Also, these develop a deep and unshakeable conviction that their goals are attainable and that it is only a matter of time. "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step ". We have taken the right step in the right direction.
