Our Programmes
School is where children spend fourteen of their formative years. Our scholastic and co-scholastic programmes carry them from a timid four-year-old in the nursery to a confident young adult in Grade 12.
Teaching students how to learn, not only what to learn
As a child moves through the grades, the journey of discovery, exploration, reflection and learning continues. The Kindergarten, Junior, Middle and Senior years each have a distinct cadence — but all four programmes are united by a single note.
We encourage students to think for themselves, ask questions and pursue their interests through independent reading and research. The curriculum is reviewed regularly so that it holds their interest and gives them what they need in a fast-changing world.
- Collaborative learning, so students learn with and from each other
- Experiential learning through a wide range of resources
- Visual arts, music, drama and physical education for every student
- Outbound trips and exchanges with other schools
One journey, five stages
Each programme reflects the school’s basic ideas and practices, with a rhythm suited to the age it serves.
Kindergarten
Two teachers to every class, learning through arts, crafts, tales and play.
Junior School
Grades 1–5 — an integrated, multidisciplinary curriculum with the creative arts.
Middle School
Grades 6–8 — hands-on project work and interdisciplinary learning expeditions.
High School
Grades 9 & 10 — observe, reflect, analyse, synthesise and act.
Higher Secondary
Grades 11 & 12 — deeper learning alongside examination and writing skills.
What each stage looks like
Kindergarten Programme
In a student-centred environment, the Kindergarten programme fosters the holistic development necessary for long-term success in school. Children take part in activities that use arts, crafts, tales and play to explore themes in language, mathematics and science.
Kindergarten recognises the social nature of learning and encourages students to work in small groups as well as a whole class. Each Kindergarten class has two teachers, improving the student–teacher ratio.
Junior School Programme (Grades 1–5)
For primary education we offer an integrated, multidisciplinary curriculum. An academically demanding syllabus is combined with the creative arts and presented in a way that engages children physically, cognitively and emotionally.
Through activity-oriented classes, hands-on work and co-curricular activities, students are introduced to the world of integrated knowledge, with a focus on English, Mathematics, General Science and Social Science.
Middle School Programme (Grades 6–8)
The middle years bring a lasting effect on a child’s mind. They are also the point at which a child either acquires a lifelong love of learning or comes to dread it, so the challenge is to create experiences that genuinely absorb them.
The teaching–learning experience is a balance of hands-on project work and analysis of that experience, building concepts, knowledge and skills through interdisciplinary learning expeditions.
High School Programme (Grades 9 & 10)
By the end of Middle School, children have skills and knowledge that serve them well beyond their senior years. Through projects they learn to observe, reflect, analyse, synthesise and understand from several perspectives.
The programme encourages students to think critically about social, cultural, technological and environmental issues, and to act as agents of change — an ethic of excellence built through continuous preparation and execution.
Higher Secondary Programme (Grades 11 & 12)
The senior programme is unfettered and constantly buzzing with the energy of its learners. The focus stays on deeper learning, authentic assessment through live and integrated projects, and multiple ways to express understanding.
Assignments build communication, creativity and collaboration alongside examination and writing skills, while widening awareness of the world and leaving room for the aesthetic, moral, ethical and emotional dimensions of growing up.
Subjects by stage
The curriculum for each class is designed around what students can comfortably carry, while covering the standard expected across institutions. The medium of instruction is English, and English is compulsory for all classes. For the smaller classes we issue a single textbook covering every subject for the term — so the school bag stays light.
| Classes | Subjects | Also timetabled |
|---|---|---|
| I to V | English, Tamil, Mathematics, EVS, Computer Science, General Knowledge | Library, PE, arts and crafts, music, value education |
| VI to X | Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, History, Geography, Computer Science | Club activities, library, PE |
| XI and XII | Stream subjects with English | Second language — Tamil, Sanskrit or French |
Language options are confirmed at the time of admission.
Beyond the realms of academics
Our co-scholastic programmes are curated to let students develop potential and skills that no examination measures.
Arts Education
Visual arts taught as a timetabled subject — drawing, painting and craft, with work displayed and discussed rather than filed away.
Music
A music curriculum delivered by experienced, extensively trained instructors, built to make the whole process of learning memorable.
Theatre
Mandatory theatre classes, where students explore a hidden ability to act and shed the inhibition of performing in front of an audience.
