The Secondary Department at Shishuvan includes Standards VII and VIII, catering to students in the pivotal pre-teen years. This transitional phase marks a crucial transition, where learners begin to balance dependence with growing independence, while exploring their interests, identities and potential.
Our Approach
The curriculum includes English Language, Literature in English, Hindi, Marathi, Mathematics, History and Civics, Geography, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Environmental Studies and Computer Studies. Students engage with exploring the core subject’s techniques like summarisation and hands-on experimentation, fostering active engagement and deeper understanding. Subject integration is facilitated through Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL), encouraging active engagement and deeper conceptual understanding. Interdisciplinary connections are fostered through IBL, particularly across English, Hindi and History, as well as Physics, Chemistry and Biology.
The use of inquiry-based methodologies, collaborative projects and reflective discussions helps in promoting critical thinking, creativity and clarity of thought.
A unique student-led leadership model mirrors the functioning of a state ministry. Secondary students work alongside senior ministers from the High School, contributing meaningfully to planning and executing school events, thereby developing organisational and leadership skills.
A diverse selection of co-curricular activities nurtures creativity, expression and physical well-being. Options include Indian Vocal Music, Keyboard, Guitar, Dance, Art and Craft, team and individual sports, Life Skills (via Makerspace), Personal Development and Financial Literacy.
