MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAMME
GRADE 5 TO GRADE 8
Our middle school programme builds on a project-and-play foundation, transitioning to an inquiry-based approach tailored to meet the needs of growing pre-teens and teens.
We use a variety of teaching methods—facilitation, skill practice, demonstration, discussion, collaborative learning, role-playing, games, and multimedia—to engage each learner effectively.
Subjects: English, Hindi, Marathi, Math, Science, Social Studies, Sports, Arts, Music
Our unique programmes include:
*Environmental Literacy: A programme designed to make young people understand the importance of environmental sustainability, their place in the natural world and how we can become earth citizens. Our multi-pronged approach includes farming on campus, creating a no-trash zone, reducing and reusing materials to encourage eco-friendly lifestyles.
*Design Lab: From welding and carpentry to designing games and science-based toys, children learn to work with various materials and tools that teach them important hands-on skills.
*Nature Treks: Roasting corn on the cob in bonfires, walking through fields in the sun and fog, chatting happily with friends and facilitators – trekking is not an extracurricular activity for us. It is built into the timetable! Our children also interact with the local farmers and help in the fields during this time.
*Enrichment Clubs: We offer a wide variety of clubs – from science exploration, dance, and woodwork to sculpture – that children can explore and select according to their interests.
*Study Tours: We take children on study tours that are relevant to what they are learning in the classroom. Deccan College, Camp Heritage Walk, India Meteorological Department, Pataleshwar Caves, Shaniwarwada, GPO, Fergusson College Museum, IUCCA, IISER and Vetal Tekdi are some of the locations that Middle School children have visited over the years.
