By the guidelines set by CBSE and mapped to NCFSE, it is vital to foster a sense of ownership and responsibility for the academic journey of the students.  The choices offered here align with the vision of promoting holistic education and empowering students to become self- directed learners. Additionally, it helps to adapt to changing educational trends and align curriculum offerings with evolving academic and career pathways.

The curricular and pedagogical structure and the curricular framework for school education will therefore be guided by a 5+3+3+4 design, consisting of the Foundational Stage (in two parts, that is, 3 years of Anganwadi / preschool + 2 years in primary school in Grades 1-2; both together covering ages 3-8), Preparatory Stage (Grades 3-5, covering ages 8-11), Middle Stage (Grades 6-8, covering ages 11-14), and Secondary Stage (Grades 9-12 in two phases, i.e., 9 and 10 in the first.

– Encourages exploration, experimentation, and discovery.
– Conducting mock classroom trials and debates
–  Using interactive learning apps to create an immersive and engaging environment, wherever they may be
2.Play-Based Activities:
– Integration of play as a primary mode of learning.
– Use of educational toys, games, and role-playing to teach concepts.
3. Art and Craft:
– Hands-on art and craft activities to stimulate creativity and fine motor skills.
– Opportunities for children to create, design, and express themselves.
4. Practical Life Skills:
– Activities that teach daily life skills such as dressing, cleaning, and organizing.

 Middle School: Exploring Diverse Horizons (Grades 6 to 8)
 With the introduction of innovative Teaching Learning concepts in each subject at this Stage, assessment will continue to be Competency-based, covering all dimensions of learning.
At this Stage, the focus of the curriculum moves to conceptual understanding and higher order capacities.
Therefore, classroom assessment techniques such as projects, debates, presentations, experiments, investigations, role plays, journals and portfolios are used to assess learning.
Regular Formative and Summative Assessments at this stage will help students synthesize their learning at logical intervals (e.g., weekly & term-end). Summative assessments which consist of multiple-choice questions and constructive responses (e.g., short answer, long answer) measure the skills and knowledge a student has gained over the entire instructional period. The assessments aim at helping students to know how well they have done in meeting the overall learning goals of the course.

Secondary Education: Preparing for the Future (Grades  9 To 10)
CURRICULUM

Design of Grades 9 and 10
To complete Grade 10, students will complete two Essential Courses from each of the eight Curricular Areas available i.e., a total of 16 Essential Courses across two years of Grade 9 and 10. These either Curricular Areas – Humanities (that includes languages), Mathematics & Computing, Vocational Education, Physical Education, Arts, Social Science, Science, and Inter-disciplinary Areas gives the necessary breadth of understanding and capacities for the students.
