The school follows the curriculum and syllabus prescribed by the CBSE, in alignment with the National Curriculum Framework (NCF). Students receive a well-rounded education that equips them with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to excel in the Board Examination and beyond. The medium of instruction in all classes is English, ensuring strong communication abilities from an early age. NCF 2023 reorganises schooling into four developmental stages, replacing the traditional class-wise system with a more holistic structure that prioritises age-appropriate learning. This approach allows children to grow academically, socially, and emotionally through a balanced blend of knowledge, skills, and values.
Foundational Stage (5 years)
The Foundational Stage focuses on play-based and activity-oriented learning that helps young children develop curiosity, confidence, and essential early skills. Children engage in stories, rhymes, hands-on tasks, and sensory activities that encourage natural exploration and discovery. The stage aims to build strong foundations in language, numeracy, motor skills, and social behaviour through joyful, age-appropriate experiences. Teachers create a safe and nurturing environment where learning happens organically and at the child’s pace. This stage lays the essential groundwork for holistic development and prepares children for more structured learning in later years.
Preparatory Stage (3 years)
The Preparatory Stage gradually introduces structured academic learning while continuing to emphasise activity-based and exploratory methods. Students learn foundational concepts in literacy, numeracy, and environmental awareness through interactive lessons that make understanding meaningful. This stage encourages creativity, communication, and collaboration through art, play, projects, and classroom discussions. Teachers prioritise conceptual clarity over memorisation, ensuring that children truly grasp what they learn. Overall, this stage strengthens students’ academic readiness and prepares them for subject-specific learning in the middle school years.
Middle Stage (3 years)
The Middle Stage marks a transition to more experiential and subject-focused learning that helps students deepen their academic understanding. Concepts in science, mathematics, arts, and social sciences are explored through experiments, projects, real-life applications, and critical discussions. Students develop important skills such as analytical thinking, reasoning, and independent decision-making. Teachers encourage curiosity and problem-solving by nurturing a questioning mindset and enabling hands-on exploration. This stage effectively bridges foundational learning with the advanced academic expectations of the secondary years.
Secondary Stage (4 years)
The Secondary Stage provides students with greater depth and flexibility in their subjects, promoting higher-order thinking and conceptual mastery. Learners begin exploring multidisciplinary pathways that help them identify their interests and aspirations. Academic learning is complemented by skill development, career awareness, and exposure to technology, ensuring that students stay future-ready. Teachers guide students in developing leadership qualities, responsible decision-making, and self-directed learning habits. This stage prepares students comprehensively for Board Examinations, higher education, and diverse future career opportunities.
