Courses offered

Five stages from the play school to the AHSEC examination hall. Each has its own emphasis, its own subject list and its own way of being taught — and after Class X, a choice of three streams.

Pre-KG to Class X

Four stages before the streams begin

Subjects are listed as the school prescribes them, together with the “others” that sit alongside the timetable — general knowledge, moral science, games, crafts and work experience.

01Pre-KG to Class II

Foundational education

The National Education Policy 2020 envisages education of children very early, as early as the age of three. It is in the early years that the foundation for all future learning is laid.

It is said that children learn more in the first six years than in the rest of their lives. Our school is well equipped to begin this foundational education through Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten to Classes I and II, and thus to give the best possible start for the later stages. Classes I and II are very important years of schooling — it is during these that children learn the basic concepts which will be the cornerstone for the edifice of further learning. Parents are therefore exhorted to support their children especially in this foundational stage.

Higher Secondary education

This stage, with continued research, highlights the multi- disciplinary study of critical thinking and flexibility in the choice of subjects.

Class XI and XII is a two-year course. Students need to take only those subjects in Class XI which they intend to continue in Class XII. In addition to English and MIL / Alternative English, which are compulsory, students take four electives — one combination is chosen from the groups below.
