Middle School

Curious Collaborative Learners

During these pivotal years, students consolidate the foundational knowledge gained in earlier grades while engaging with more advanced and nuanced subject matter. The academic journey becomes progressively rigorous, with increasing expectations and the introduction of formal summative assessments as essential milestones in their development.

Our Approach

Outstation Field Visits Integrated with Curriculum

Students participate in educational field visits to various states across India, closely aligned with the curriculum taught in their grade. These immersive experiences help instill cultural awareness, independence, social responsibility and a deeper understanding of academic concepts by witnessing them in real-world contexts.

Real-World Theatre Experience

Through active involvement in Annual Day productions, students gain practical experience in leadership, organisation and collaboration. Roles like Assistant Director, Props Management, Sound and Music Coordination, Costume Planning and Designing are assigned to the students. These roles develop creative thinking, problem-solving and communication skills—key competencies for both academic and personal success.

Subject Integration through Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL – Grade 6 onwards) (English, Hindi and History | Physics, Chemistry and Biology)

By connecting related disciplines through IBL, students develop a deeper understanding of concepts and their real-world applications. This interdisciplinary approach encourages critical thinking, curiosity and the ability to view knowledge holistically, preparing students to solve complex problems creatively and collaboratively.

Structured Academic Progression

Gradually increasing academic rigour and formal assessments help students build strong study habits, time management and self-discipline. These assessments also develop resilience, goal-setting skill and a clear understanding of their academic progress, helping them strive for continuous improvement.

Experiential Learning

Cooking, life skills, makerspace sessions instill practical life skills, such as planning, hygiene, nutrition awareness and teamwork. Engaging in hands-on experiences enhances self-reliance and builds appreciation for daily responsibilities and healthy living.

Competitions

Participation in various competitions fosters a spirit of healthy competition and sportsmanship. It helps students build confidence, showcase their talents and develop grit, while also fostering school pride and a strong sense of community.
