In the Senior school, students’ intellectual, aesthetic, physical and cultural growth is strengthened and extended to enable students to fit into any international background. The Secondary curriculum is broad-based and robust, that provides students with skill sets and balanced knowledge of key subjects, as well as effective critical thinking and communication skills. Students develop vital skills that allow them to be successful across all subject areas and assist with future challenges at university and in the workplace.
Through these years, students are guided on their career choices beyond the school environment. The school ranked #1 in the Education World School Grand Jury Awards, in the ‘Career Counselling’ category for the support provided to students during the crucial years that determine their path in life.
Consistent connections made to current global and real-life situations enable students to articulate the relevance of their learning. Very effective communication and enquiry skills is demonstrated during learning through group discussions, student opinion and by challenging their peers. As independent and inquisitive learners, students go beyond classroom learning to enhance their critical thinking skills. The academic focus equips students for research-based higher education by developing 21st-century skills, whereas the exposure to co-scholastic activities ensures the personal & social development of students.
In addition to the standard CBSE curriculum, we firmly believe in holistic education and therefore we are committed to developing extended and alternate learning experiences through webinars, MUNs, Student Exchange Programs etc. We believe these opportunities encourage further challenges outside the classroom, nurturing, developing and growing specific interests and talents, creating further opportunities for students to develop and demonstrate our school’s core values.
The course aims, essentially, at promoting the higher-order language skills, develop greater confidence and proficiency in the use of the language skills, build communicative competence in various lexicons of English and develop ability and acquire knowledge required in order to engage in independent reflection and enquiry.
Speaking and listening skills better the interactive competence, fluency, pronunciation and language accuracy. Writing skill stresses on the ability to seek relevant information, lodge complaints, express gratitude, render apology, draft papers to present, express opinions, facts, arguments and constructing accurate sentence structures. Reading skill is developed to create independent thinking individuals with the ability to not only create their own knowledge, but also critically interpret, analyse and evaluate it with objectivity and fairness. Independent thinkers become capable of taking their own decisions in life rationally.
Social Studies is the interdisciplinary integration of social sciences and humanitarian concepts in order to teach students problem solving and decision-making skills, so they may become proactive citizens in their communities.
Contemporary Social studies in secondary school is all about tracking changes around the globe. Central to this are students should be made aware how and why events are taking place, and how the present world in which we live is evolving. Students learn about the emergence of contemporary world behaviors, historical events, geographical distributions, and political happenings globally.
The present Science syllabus plays an important role in developing abilities in cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains in children. It augments the spirit of enquiry, creativity, objectivity and aesthetic sensibility. It has been designed around seven broad themes viz. Food; materials, The World of The Living, How Things Work, Moving Things, People and Ideas, Natural Phenomenon and Natural Resources. At this stage, while science is still a common subject, the disciplines of Physics, Chemistry and Biology begin to emerge. The students are exposed to experiences based on hands on activities as well as modes of reasoning that are typical of the subject. Our syllabus engages young students with exciting material and experiences, motivates them to learn and pursue the sciences in the senior grades. Teaching technological literacy, critical thinking and problem-solving through science education gives students the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in school and beyond.
The main goal of Mathematics education is the 'mathematisation' of a child's thinking. Clarity of thought and pursuing assumptions to logical conclusions is central to the mathematical enterprise. The skills to handle abstractions and an approach to problem solving comes along with it. It also includes a child’s understanding of the basic structure of Mathematics: Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Commercial mathematics, Calculus, Mensuration, Statistics, Probability - all of which offer a methodology for abstraction, structuration and generalization. The curriculum also provides students with an appreciation of the wide variety of the application of Mathematics and equips them with the basic tools that enable such application. It also facilitates acquisition of 21st Century Skills and enhances self and social awareness among students.
Within languages, our students gain the ability to communicate while focusing upon listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. Through their studies they will also gain an insight into, and a positive attitude towards, other cultures and practices. Students also develop the skills to analyze texts to extract meaning through gist and inference, improve memory skills as well as expressing and justifying their points of view, attitudes and emotions.
We believe in empowering students through flexibility in the choice of subjects at the senior secondary level. The students can design their own courses for study, without having to confine to the rigidity of silos like – arts, humanities, sciences etc. We are glad that this thinking is now also completely aligned with the NEP 2020

The Higher Secondary stage will be a preparation for the university, where a high degree of proficiency in English is required and it also is a preparation for entry into the professional domain. The Core Course caters to both by promoting the language skills required for academic study as well as the language skills required for the workplace. Throughout the course, learners will be encouraged to practise their skills in close reading through the study of literary extracts and unseen texts; developing skills of analysis and interpretation of texts, alongside their expression of personal response to the texts studied.
The NCERT curriculum of Mathematics encompasses various facets of concepts; those related to arithmetic, geometry, trigonometry, algebra, commercial mathematics, calculus, mensuration, statistics, and probability. The skill to calculate and organize and the ability to apply this knowledge and other acquired skills in their daily life comes along with it. It also includes understanding of the principles of reasoning and problem solving to acquaint students with different aspects of Mathematics used in real life. Students can acquire knowledge and critical understanding by way of motivation and visualization of basic concepts, terms, principles, and symbols. Moreover, it facilitates acquisition of 21st Century Skills and enhances self and social awareness. Throughout their educational career students will develop their understanding of Number, Algebra, Geometry and Data Handling. These are then applied to practical situations such as proofs and projects in order to consolidate understanding and develop their ability to solve problems.
The curriculum also includes Applied Mathematics – the application of mathematical methods by different fields such as Physics, engineering, medicine, business, computer science and industry and hence it is the combination of mathematical science and specialized knowledge. It also facilitates acquisition of 21st Century Skills and enhances self and social awareness among students.
Physical Education is a vast subject and it has been given importance from ages. Modern Physical Education stresses on balanced development of body and mind. The students are bound to understand the importance and total concepts of Sports Nutrition, Sports Psychology, Sports Medicine as well as Yoga.
