Middle School

The transition from Primary to Middle school within the CBSE Board framework encompasses significant shifts. In Primary education, the focus is on establishing a broad foundational knowledge base, while middle school ushers in specialization in subjects and a more structured approach to learning. It is imperative, however, to ensure the sustained reinforcement and application of these foundational skills from primary education as students progress to middle school. This approach serves to nurture a comprehensive education, encouraging holistic development and fostering inquiry-based learning. The middle school curriculum recognizes the distinctive developmental needs of students at this stage, placing a strong emphasis on cultivating independence, critical thinking, and self-directed learning. These principles are seamlessly integrated into pedagogical approaches within the CBSE Board framework.

Our curriculum includes an exciting opportunity for students to learn a third language. They can choose between French and Sanskrit, expanding their linguistic abilities and cultural understanding. Learning a third language fosters multilingualism and enhances cognitive skills.

Our STEM program is designed to cultivate critical thinking and problem-solving skills through the lens of design thinking. Students engage in hands-on activities that encourage innovation and creativity. They explore the integration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to tackle real-world challenges, fostering a mindset of innovation.

Olympiad preparation, design thinking sessions, robotics, workshops tailored to student needs, Jodogyan, Spell Bee, special assemblies, Independence Day celebrations, Joy of Celebration, Annual Sports Day, Astronomy Night, and observance of various special days and festivals are part of our curriculum. In addition, we also host GK Quiz Competitions, Spellathons, Poem Recitations, Painting Competitions, STEM exhibitions and contests, and Olympiads, and foster public speaking skills through Extempore, Debates, and Declamation. These activities enhance the all-encompassing development of our students and foster the development of their talents and interests.

Online Learning Resources

Our school embraces modern technology through the Study Base app, which serves as a comprehensive educational platform extending beyond typical homework and announcements. This app provides students with daily enriching content, including a “Thought of the Day,” a “Word of the Day,” intriguing “Scientific Facts,” and captivating “Stories.” These features contribute to a holistic learning experience, ensuring that students remain engaged and well-informed.

Jodo Gyan


Mathematics is commonly perceived as a complex and abstract subject. However, there's a growing consensus that this perception is largely due to the traditional emphasis on rote learning of procedures and rules. By adopting a different approach, we can make the learning process more meaningful and engaging for children.

Jodogyan is an approach where the learning activities begin from the world of children – from stories, games, and contexts connected to their lives and each activity has a motivating purpose for children.

The ultimate goal is to create a learning-through-practice experience for children, fostering a crystal-clear grasp of these concepts while enhancing their cognitive abilities. Central to this approach are group activities that facilitate constructive discussions, collaborative learning, and exposure to diverse problem-solving strategies, all contributing to a comprehensive and lucid understanding of mathematics.

Mindsprings


Scotle has collaborated with Mindsprings to rethink and change the English language teaching process to suit Indian children’s needs and aspirations.

Mindsprings is a thought leader in English language education. They publish textbooks to help students learn to speak and write the English language. They also provide training sessions to the teachers to enhance their skills.

We are unique in that we aggressively follow a set of logical thinking premises in formulating strategies based on the nature of the child and his/her natural learning processes. Our curriculum follows VFC (Volume, Frequency, and Context )pedagogy to layer the concept year after year (Grades I to VIII).

We have customized syllabus based on a dynamic process of observation and need. The learning of the child is paramount and our differentiation methods are bold, original, and protean. Success is measurable in the competencies, behaviors, and attitudes of children to learn the language.

SOF


The Olympiad examination encourages students to develop a routine of consistent practice and revision, allowing them to stay closely connected with their academic curriculum. This not only enriches their regular studies but also elevates their comprehension to a higher level. Engaging in these practices aids in the enhancement of cognitive skills such as logical reasoning, analytical thinking, and comprehensive understanding. While preparing for school-level Olympiad exams, students not only learn effective time management but also gain a greater appreciation for their own skill set. Students invest their efforts in a subject of personal interest, resulting in a significant boost to their self-esteem and an increase in their confidence. Through rigorous testing and assessments, they refine their understanding and establish a strong foundation in their chosen topic of interest.
