MIDDLE YEARS PROGRAM (GRADE V - VII)

The focal point of the Middle Years Program is metamorphosing the children from the knowledge phase to the application phase.

It is structured to meet students’ varied intellectual and developmental needs. The curriculum builds on concepts and skills learnt in Primary School. It ensures progression and continuity across various stages of learning in the School and incorporates continuous evaluation and review of children’s performance.

The main aims of the Program are developing skills related to writing, reading, reflecting, critical thinking, public speaking, fostering initiative among students and a desire to acquire knowledge. Academic subjects include English, Hindi/ French, Mathematics, Science, History and Geography. Art, Drama, Computer Studies, Music, Yoga, Dance and Sports are integrated into the mainstream curriculum to offer different dimensions to the curriculum.

Projects are planned to integrate knowledge and skills acquired by students in various subjects and serve as a concrete step towards developing interdisciplinary approaches in later years. Field trips and excursions aid in developing social skills and in raising awareness about the world. Projects, presentations and group activities are more formal and research-based.

Inter-house and sports competitions encourage healthy competition and team spirit. Students begin to contribute to class assemblies and take up roles of responsibility.

Community Service is offered through school-initiated programs and partnerships with NGOs.
