In the Senior school, students’ intellectual, aesthetic, physical and cultural growth is strengthened and extended to enable students to fit into any international background. The Secondary curriculum is broad-based and robust, that provides students with skill sets and balanced knowledge of key subjects, as well as effective critical thinking and communication skills. Students develop vital skills that allow them to be successful across all subject areas and assist with future challenges at university and in the workplace.
Through these years, students are guided on their career choices beyond the school environment. The school ranked #1 in the Education World School Grand Jury Awards, in the ‘Career Counselling’ category for the support provided to students during the crucial years that determine their path in life.
Consistent connections made to current global and real-life situations enable students to articulate the relevance of their learning. Very effective communication and enquiry skills is demonstrated during learning through group discussions, student opinion and by challenging their peers. As independent and inquisitive learners, students go beyond classroom learning to enhance their critical thinking skills. The academic focus equips students for research-based higher education by developing 21st-century skills, whereas the exposure to co-scholastic activities ensures the personal & social development of students.
In addition to the standard CBSE curriculum, we firmly believe in holistic education and therefore we are committed to developing extended and alternate learning experiences through webinars, MUNs, Student Exchange Programs etc. We believe these opportunities encourage further challenges outside the classroom, nurturing, developing and growing specific interests and talents, creating further opportunities for students to develop and demonstrate our school’s core values.
We believe in empowering students through flexibility in the choice of subjects at the senior secondary level. The students can design their own courses for study, without having to confine to the rigidity of silos like – arts, humanities, sciences etc. We are glad that this thinking is now also completely aligned with the NEP 2020
