Computers
Students complete their learning of the Microsoft Office Package with an emphasis on Word and Excel. They are also introduced to the usage of the Internet.  In programming, they learn “html” and c-programming language and also start theoretical lessons on hardware.

 

Homework and Tuitions

At the middle school level, homework is assigned on a daily basis. However, it is targeted and there is a specific timetable to ensure that the child is not over burdened. Students who need extra tutorials are coached during the tutorial period and also on Saturdays free of cost. All students are given projects in addition to the regular class work to enhance their understanding of various subjects. Exceptionally bright students are enrolled in an accelerated program, which is conducted during the tutorial periods.  This programme is designed to enable students to take competitive examinations in the future.

Assessment

As with the junior sections, reviews are conducted at the end of every chapter.  Formal tests are conducted at the end of every term on a non-cumulative basis. This is to ensure that the basics of all  subjects are thoroughly understood.  The class teacher, head of the middle school and the headmaster continuously monitor each child's performance. Commendations are issued on a weekly basis to encourage the children to excel in academics. Certificates and medals are awarded at the end of the year to the most promising students.

 

Art, Craft, Music and Dance

All children have an opportunity to choose which of the above activities they intend to pursue to a higher level. Examinations in Music, Arangetrams in dance, art competitions and cultural competitions form an extensive platform for children to showcase and enhance their respective talents

 

Sports

Students in the middle school are encouraged to choose one primary sport to concentrate on for the whole year. This is done in order to give children the opportunity to excel in their field.  As usual, intensive and professional coaching is a hallmark of the school.  Several friendly matches and house competitions are also held to simulate actual competitive conditions. Students are also given the opportunity to practice other sports if they so desire.

Drama, Debate, Language, Math, Photography, Eco, Sculpture, Needlework, Craft, Journalism Multi-media, Chess and Catering.  As in every other field, all clubs are monitored by professional and dedicated staff.
