Middle School (Grade 6 to 7)
In the Middle School years, the fundamental element of our students’ education is to prepare them for life outside of school. All aspects of the CBSE Curriculum are taught, providing a holistic educational experience as well as a diverse range of skills and experiences allowing students to further develop their love of learning, which is a wide-ranging, skills-based curriculum designed to allow students to apply their skills and knowledge to real life scenarios. The curriculum is enhanced and extended through research work, independent and collaborative learning. It focuses on supporting students to develop the understanding and skills they require to make healthy and safe choices that will enhance their own and others’ health and wellbeing. We foster complex reasoning skills that are crucial to thriving in High School.
In these years, learning and teaching lay emphasis on intellectual challenge and encourages students to make connections between what they do in school and the world beyond the classroom
