Academics

Standards V to X, following the Maharashtra State Board curriculum in alignment with the National Education Policy 2020.

Our approach

Our Secondary Section (Standards V to X) follows the Maharashtra State Board curriculum in alignment with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. We adopt a learner-centred and competency-based approach that promotes conceptual understanding, critical thinking, creativity and problem-solving skills.

Continuous assessment, project work, hands-on activities and real-life applications help students connect classroom learning with everyday life. We focus on nurturing academic excellence, communication skills, values, leadership qualities and holistic development, enabling every learner to become a confident, responsible and lifelong learner.

A holistic approach to teaching

We focus on nurturing academic excellence, communication skills, values, leadership qualities and holistic development, enabling every learner to become a confident, responsible and lifelong learner.

These are not five programmes running side by side. The lesson that teaches a concept is where a student practises explaining it, and the year that runs the examinations is the year that runs the competitions.

  • Academic excellence

    Academics
    A competency-based curriculum built on conceptual understanding rather than recall, with critical thinking, creativity and problem-solving practised across all ten subjects.
  • Communication skills

    Expression
    Classroom discussions, debates, peer learning and collaborative projects give every student regular practice in explaining their thinking to somebody else.
  • Values

    Character
    Named by the school among the things it sets out to nurture, so that a student leaves Standard X responsible as well as capable.
  • Leadership qualities

    Responsibility
    Competitions, cultural programmes and community service put students in charge of something real. The confidence and the teamwork follow from having done it, not from being told about it.
  • Creativity

    The arts
    Music, dance, art and cultural performances run through the year, and Art & Craft is on the timetable as a subject in its own right.
  • Physical development

    Health
    P.T. is a timetabled subject rather than a free period, and sports events run through the year on the Wadala grounds.
  • Environmental awareness and community service

    Citizenship
    Innovation, environmental awareness and community service run alongside the academic programme rather than after it.

Beyond the classroom

Our school strongly believes in the holistic development of students through a wide range of co-curricular activities. Throughout the year, programmes such as sports events, cultural performances, music, dance, art, debates and competitions are organised to nurture creativity, confidence, teamwork and leadership skills.

Behind every successful event is the dedicated effort of our teachers, who plan, guide and motivate students to give their best. Their constant support and encouragement inspire students to discover their talents and shine with confidence. These activities make learning enjoyable and help shape well-rounded individuals ready to face the future.
