Middle Section

The Middle Section consists of Grades six to nine and is focused on providing the students with a diverse education in the arts, humanities and the sciences.

Upon entering the Middle Section, the students are given a degree of leverage to craft their path for the future. English medium education is provided for students who opt for it. Additionally, the students are given a choice in choosing their curriculum.

Academics

The Middle Section curriculum is built around providing students with essential education and life skills. Mathematics, languages, science and civic education are made compulsory for students. The students can opt for aesthetic subjects and languages of their choice.

It is during the time in the Middle Section that the students are first exposed to multiple teachers. Though the students are provided with a class teacher to act as their mentor and counsellor, they will be assigned separate teachers for each subject.
