Academics

Fourteen years, forty teachers, one continuous arc

A child who joins us in Nursery will be taught by around forty of our teachers before they leave after Class 10. Everything below is about making that a single coherent journey rather than fourteen disconnected years.

Four Learning Stages, One Continuous Journey

Every child learns differently at different ages. Our four-stage academic journey is carefully designed to support each phase of development—from nurturing curiosity in the early years to building critical thinking, leadership, and career readiness in senior grades. Each stage prepares students for the opportunities and challenges of the next.

Young children learning through hands-on play in a kindergarten classroom

Pre-Primary

Nursery, LKG, UKG · 3–6 years

Learning that looks like playing, because at this age it is the same thing.

There are no textbooks in pre-primary and no written homework. Children learn through structured play, story, song, sand, water and a great deal of talking. Literacy and number sense are built in — but a visitor watching a Nursery morning would mostly see children absorbed in something.

  • Oral language before written language — in English, Telugu and Hindi
  • Fine motor control through art, threading, clay and cutting
  • Learning to separate from a parent, and to rejoin a group

Primary school children writing together at their desks

Primary

Classes 1 to 5 · 6–11 years

Where reading stops being a subject and starts being a tool.

Primary is where the foundations are laid properly or not at all. Reading fluency, number fact automaticity and legible handwriting are tracked child by child, not class by class, and we intervene early rather than waiting for an exam to reveal a gap.

  • Reading fluency assessed individually three times a year
  • Mathematics taught concrete → pictorial → abstract
  • Every child learns swimming and a musical instrument

Middle School

Classes 6 to 8 · 11–14 years

Subjects get specialists, students get room to be wrong.

From Class 6 every subject is taught by a specialist, and students move to the teacher rather than the other way round. This is also where we deliberately widen the field — robotics, a second language choice, design and the first real laboratory work.

  • Specialist subject teachers and dedicated laboratories
  • Choice of Telugu, Hindi, Sanskrit or French as second language
  • Design and robotics as timetabled subjects, not clubs

Secondary

Classes 9 and 10 · 14–16 years

Board preparation, without pretending that is all school is for.

Classes 9 and 10 are honest about the board examination — it matters, and we prepare for it seriously. What we refuse to do is empty the timetable of everything else to chase two extra marks. Sport, music and clubs continue through Class 10.

  • CBSE or Cambridge IGCSE pathway, chosen at the end of Class 8
  • Weekly one-to-one academic tutorial with the form tutor
  • Career and stream counselling from the start of Class 9

Pathways

Three boards, and how to choose between them

Families choose a pathway at the end of Class 8. Counselling for that choice begins in the first term of Class 8, not the last week.

CBSE

Central Board of Secondary Education

Our principal pathway, followed by roughly four in five families. Affiliation is reviewed every five years and covers infrastructure, staffing ratios, safety and academic delivery.

Nursery to Class 10 · all four campuses

SSC

Board of Secondary Education, Telangana

The state board pathway, offered for families who want a Telugu-medium option or plan to continue in the state intermediate system.

Classes 1 to 10 · Kompally and Nagole campuses

CAIE

Cambridge Assessment International Education

Cambridge Lower Secondary, running alongside CBSE from June 2026. Priced identically to the CBSE pathway, with the checkpoint examination fee included.

Classes 6 to 8 · Gachibowli campus

Year groups

Jump straight to a year

Each year group has its own page with the weekly timetable, learning outcomes, projects, booklist and assessment pattern.

What we will not do

We do not publish board averages as a headline. A school with selective admissions can manufacture almost any average it likes, and quoting one invites parents to compare numbers that are not comparable.

We do not rank children against each other below Class 8. Ranking a nine-year-old teaches them their position; it does not teach them the subject, and it reliably makes the child in the middle stop trying.

And we do not clear the timetable of sport and the arts during the board year. It is the most common request we get from parents in Class 9, and the answer has been no for eighteen years.
