THE HALLMARKS OF MIDDLE SCHOOL
The Middle Years curriculum amalgamates the curriculum of all the educational boards seamlessly, and in this lies its uniqueness. We begin teaching separate subjects, but an integrated and interdisciplinary teaching approach is followed, wherever appropriate. The Middle Years continue to be student-centric where the onus of learning shifts from the teacher to the student. The methodology is constructive, taking the child from his/her known context to the unknown, from concrete to abstract ideas and from local to global issues and concerns. A wide range of innovative methods such as active learning, cooperative activities, inquiry, and experience-based learning are used in the classroom. These methods aim at developing competencies rather than mastering the given content.
