MIDDLE & HIGH SCHOOL

• Middle and High School Programme

The Middle and High School Programme at Chitkara International School, covering Grades 6 to 10, provides a seamless transition from middle school to high school while equipping students for advanced education in colleges and universities. The programme is meticulously aligned with CBSE, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.

In this phase, teachers serve as mentors, fostering independent learning and guiding students in demonstrating their acquired knowledge through various methods, such as production, presentations, exhibitions, and performances. The core components of the curriculum are as follows:

• English

Students are encouraged to develop self-directed reading and study habits, with a strong emphasis on language and literary skills. Prose and poetry are analysed to explore literary elements, vocabulary, and creative expression. Research-based activities nurture curiosity and literary skills, fostering confident future orators. An interactive environment supports the enhancement of speaking and listening skills, improving overall language proficiency.

• Mathematics

Mathematics is taught in a stimulating and interactive manner using tools like ExtraMarks, which facilitate concept analysis and understanding. Students engage in online worksheets and problem-solving tasks that challenge and motivate them. Expert guest faculty introduce advanced concepts, creating a global perspective on mathematical education. To strengthen comprehension, a dedicated one-hour daily mathematics session is embedded into the timetable.

• Science

Science education focuses on constructing knowledge through observation, experimentation, and research. The curriculum covers Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, with students actively participating in exhibitions and fairs to showcase practical projects. Involvement in national and international projects—ranging from technological innovations to space exploration—further enhances their scientific aptitude and curiosity.

• Social Science

Social Science examines human society, culture, and geography. The curriculum is divided into History, Civics, and Geography, enabling students to develop a well-rounded understanding of the world. Cross-cultural events and programmes at national and international levels enrich students’ perspectives. To reinforce theoretical learning, CIS provides curated video links for home-based learning, making abstract concepts more engaging and accessible.

• General Knowledge and Value Education

The programme prioritises value-based education for students up to Grade 8 through activities, books, and sessions. This approach instils positive values, guiding students towards purposeful lives while enhancing their general knowledge and understanding of the world.

• Vocational Course

Recognising the growing importance of Artificial Intelligence (AI), CIS offers AI as a vocational subject for Grades 9 and 10. This course introduces students to the fundamentals of AI, including machine learning, data analysis, and algorithms, while addressing ethical considerations. It fosters critical thinking and problem-solving skills, preparing students for a tech-driven future.

• Hindi & Other Languages

Hindi is compulsory and taught using digital content, while French and Punjabi are offered as optional subjects, providing students with an opportunity to explore multilingual proficiency.

This comprehensive programme, designed with a focus on innovation, research, and holistic development, ensures that students emerge as knowledgeable, confident, and values-driven individuals ready to face global challenges.
