What we teach, and when
Nursery through Class XII, on the CBSE curriculum.
Pre-primary
Three units of play and two hours of structured work each morning, with no more than twenty-four children to two adults. Reading readiness rather than reading, numbers up to twenty, and a great deal of time outdoors.
Primary
English, Hindi, Mathematics, Environmental Studies and Computer Awareness, with weekly art, music and games periods that are not surrendered to revision. Formal examinations begin in Class III.
Middle
Science splits into physics, chemistry and biology with a timetabled practical each week. Sanskrit is introduced as the third language, and every student takes part in one house activity per term.
Secondary
The CBSE board course, with a subject-choice conversation in Class IX rather than a stream allocation announced in Class X. Remedial periods run after school four days a week, at no additional charge.
Senior secondary
Science, Commerce and Humanities streams. Class sizes held to around twenty-eight, and each student is assigned a subject mentor who meets them twice a term.
The people who teach it
Sixty-eight teachers, by subject and by rank, with what each of them read and where.
