CURRICULUM
Academic excellence is the backbone of any educational institution, but it is not 'Life and death' situation.
The Council acknowledges that every child is different in aptitude and level of intelligence. Evaluating them on the same platform and same criteria is like undermining their personalities and going against the nature. The Council reputed to be a trend setter, a pioneer in offering the choice of subjects to the students of IX & X classes. Each subject is split into two components. 80% weight age* is given to the theory exam 20% to the internal assessment of Projects.
Total subjects to be opted - 7.
The child can choose the subjects from the available options.

These options have reduced the stress on the children and their parents. These options give wider benefits to children who have aptitude for subjects other than Math & Science.
Though the word sounds clichéd, our Projects are different.
The topics for Projects are thoughtfully chosen to allow children to connect the theory they learn with their experience in real life. Importance is given to hand made illustrations, originality in presentation, neatness in work, initiative in collecting information. Children are discouraged from using borrowed material like cut pictures from books or photographs or any expensive material. Projects are evaluated by grading and not marking to prevent the rat race of ‘ topping' in the class.
