How we teach
The school follows the syllabus prescribed by the affiliating board. As a matter of policy we teach beyond the textbook: laboratory work, projects and reading are timetabled, and the higher classes are expected to work independently.
Assessment is continuous through the year. Unit tests, half-yearly and annual examinations count towards the final result, and a student's improvement is weighed alongside their final mark.
From Class XI we offer Science, Commerce and Humanities. Subject combinations and the stream selection process are published in the January circular.
