ICSE ISC Curriculum Head

As India’s premier private national school education board, CISCE offers comprehensive curricula that develop not just academic excellence but also life skills, values, and attitudes that prepare students for the challenges of the 21st century. The board aims to nurture creative, expressive and independent learners while instilling strong values, life skills and a compassionate outlook towards society.

At SHIS, the ICSE and ISC curriculum is implemented with a commitment to academic excellence, holistic development and experiential learning. The curriculum encourages students to think critically, communicate effectively and become confident global citizens prepared for future challenges.

The strong academic foundation laid in the early years ensures a smooth transition across all levels of schooling. Emphasis is placed on conceptual understanding, application-based learning and continuous assessment rather than rote memorization. Through varied examinations, project work, practical learning and interactive classroom experiences, students are encouraged to develop lifelong learning competencies. Remedial support and enrichment programmes further ensure that every learner receives the guidance and encouragement required to achieve their full potential.

As a curriculum, ICSE and ISC prepares students for all aspects of life, rendering them capable to handle anything which life throws at them.

ICSE Curriculum Grades VI – X

The ICSE Curriculum being followed at SHIS for grades VI – X is committed towards high-quality educational endeavours while promoting introspective living with a commitment to excellence.

The Curriculum is well-known for its strong foundation in the lower grades and plays a vital role in forging lifelong learning competencies. The transition from Primary school to Middle School is very smooth and effortless. Students study three different languages in Middle School which helps them articulate their thoughts and ideas effectively using oral as well as written communication skills. Mathematics develops logical reasoning and problem-solving skills, Science nurtures curiosity and scientific temperament, Social Science builds social awareness and civic understanding, while ICT enhances digital literacy and technological proficiency.

Our Highlanders are also given ample opportunities to take part in both indoor and outdoor activities which help them develop skills and enter into pathways other than academics.

At IX & X ICSE level, CISCE offers a ‘basket of subjects’ to choose from that encourage students to enhance their performance according to their aptitude and skill. The ICSE syllabi are detailed and comprehensive with due emphasis on English as the medium of instruction, giving it an advantage that helps students clear entrance examinations like IELTS, TOEFL and SAT, etc

The ISC Curriculum for Class XI – XII incorporates all elements of academic interests that cater to the challenging requirements of present day educational needs. As a prerequisite for undergraduate and competitive examinations, the ISC has a sound and dynamic curriculum. It prepares the students in a comprehensive manner and has yielded promising results. Students have shown successful performances at various levels of Higher Education levels be it Engineering, Medical, Management or admission to Foreign Universities.

At Scottish High, the low Student Teacher Ratio; the small class size, provides a plethora of opportunities to enjoy the learning experience. It provides individual attention to all students while also understanding the unique needs of every student. It helps the teachers and students create a bond which is more oriented towards the student’s well-being and nurturing.

Moreover, varied examinations throughout the year serves as the basis to make learning purposeful and progressive. With consistent testing cycles, the school ensures that learning is done in a comprehensive manner, not focussed on rote memorization and allowing students to inculcate their coursework better.

Along with that, remedial classes are also provided to those who might not perform well or need extra help within a subject. This is done to cater to a varied and diverse range of individual differences, intelligences and abilities are also planned for the students in small batches.
