Foundational Stage
Three years of pre-primary followed by Classes I and II. Toy-based and play-based pedagogy, oral language work, phonics, number sense, and a daily reading corner.

Academics
Our academic structure follows the NEP 2020 stages, so a child moves through school on a plan designed for how children actually learn.
The National Education Policy 2020 replaced the old 10+2 arrangement with a 5+3+3+4 structure that follows a child from age three to eighteen. We have organised the school around those stages from the start, so nothing has to be rebuilt as we grow.
Academic structure
The four stages, and what happens in each
Preparatory Stage
Classes III to V. Light textbooks arrive alongside continued activity learning; art, sport and music are timetabled, not squeezed in.
Running nowMiddle Stage
Classes VI to VIII. Subject specialists, science practicals, coding and vocational exposure, and the first bagless days.
Planned nextSecondary Stage
Classes IX to XII with subject choice across streams and preparation for the Board examinations.

How teaching works here
Competency over recall
Teaching aims at what a child can do with knowledge, in line with the CBSE shift to competency-based questions.
Art and sport integrated
Music, drawing, drama and games carry curriculum content rather than sitting outside it.
Experiential science
Children predict, test and record. The laboratory work expands as the middle stage opens.
Holistic progress card
Reports describe progress across academics, health, effort and behaviour - with the child's own reflection.
Digital literacy, used sparingly
Screens support teaching where they genuinely help, and stay off when they do not.
Regular teacher training
Staff complete in-service training every year, including the foundational literacy and numeracy modules.
Assessment
Progress you can actually see
Assessment in the foundational and preparatory stages is continuous and low-stakes. Teachers record what a child can do rather than only what a child scored, using the holistic progress card approach set out in NEP 2020 - including the child's own reflection and the parent's observations.
Formal, competency-based written assessment is introduced gradually from the preparatory stage, so that by the time a child reaches the middle stage, sitting an examination is familiar rather than frightening.
Questions parents ask
Before you enquire
Which board does the school follow?
The school follows the CBSE pattern of curriculum, teaching and assessment. Affiliation particulars, as and when granted, are published in full on the Mandatory Public Disclosure page.
Will the school add higher classes?
Yes. The development plan adds the Middle stage (Classes VI to VIII) and then the Secondary and Senior Secondary stages, in that order. Each stage opens only once the building, laboratory and staffing requirements for it have been met.
What is the medium of instruction?
English is the medium of instruction. In the foundational years teachers also use the child's home language freely, which is what the National Education Policy recommends and what actually helps a young child understand.
How are children assessed?
Continuously, and without high-stakes examinations in the early years. Teachers maintain a holistic progress record; formal written assessment is introduced gradually through the preparatory stage.
How large is a class?
Group sizes are capped so that every child can be attended to within the lesson. Current class strength and the teacher-pupil ratio are published on the Mandatory Public Disclosure page.
