Middle School Programme: Classes V to VII

The Middle School Programme is vertically aligned to meet children's varied intellectual and developmental
needs. The integrated curriculum builds on concepts and skills learnt in Primary School. It ensures
progression and continuity across various stages of learning in school and incorporates formative and

summative assessments to steer the teaching and learning processes. The Programme focuses on
developing skills related to writing, reading, reflecting, public speaking, fostering initiative among students
and an ability to apply knowledge to real-world situations.

Academic subjects include English, Hindi/French, Marathi, Mathematics, Science, History and Geography.

Art, Drama, Computer Studies, Music, Yoga, Physical Education and Dance are integrated into the
mainstream curriculum and are further strengthened as optional co-curricular activities.

Our well-designed life skills programme - PSHE (Personal, Social and Health Education) - helps students
address their age-specific interests and concerns, builds awareness, and promotes compassionate and

ethical conduct. Physical Education focuses on students' fitness levels and sports skills. This prepares
students to pursue sports in a more structured and purposeful manner, including studying Physical
Education in Secondary School as a formal subject.

Projects are planned to integrate knowledge and skills acquired by students in various subjects and serve as

a concrete step towards developing inter-disciplinary approaches in later years. Field trips, excursions,
JDAIMUN (Junior Dhirubhai Ambani International School Model United Nations), and Round Square events
help them develop social skills and broaden their understanding of the world. Students learn to connect
