Secondary Classes IX & X -The Need to Excel

        The ultimate dream of every parent is to see their child excel in school. This puts an immense pressure on most students. Not all of them are academically inclined. The school believes that we need to imbibe the children with good habits, attitudes and values that will last them a life time.
Classes 9-10 are more demanding. The academic pressure increases but our children cope well with the challenges. They are older, more mature, focused and are aware of what they want to achieve in life. They learn through discussion, brainstorming, inquiry, analysis and evaluation. The focus of the school is to help children acquire important life skills; encourage them to take their own decisions and learn to stand on their own
