The Middle Years at Gitanjali International School mark a critical stage in our students' educational journey, where they begin to make choices that align with their future academic and career goals. In Grades 6 to 8, students are offered the option to pursue either the Cambridge Lower Secondary curriculum or the CBSE Middle School curriculum, allowing them to tailor their education to their individual strengths and aspirations.
The Cambridge Lower Secondary curriculum offers a flexible, global approach to education that encourages students to explore a broad range of subjects while developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. This stage lays the foundation for further study in the Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level programs.
Students are assessed through a combination of progressive assessments and Cambridge achievement tests, which help track their academic development and ensure they are meeting international standards.
The CBSE Middle School curriculum, aligned with NCERT guidelines, provides a structured and comprehensive education that emphasizes both academic excellence and cultural values. This pathway prepares students for the rigorous demands of the CBSE curriculum in Grades 9 to 12.
Students in the CBSE stream are assessed through periodic tests, term examinations, and project-based evaluations, all designed to meet the requirements of the NCERT and prepare them for the board exams in higher grades.
This choice allows students to align their education with their future goals, whether they aspire to pursue higher education in India or internationally. The Cambridge pathway offers a global perspective and flexibility, ideal for students aiming for international universities. In contrast, the CBSE pathway is deeply rooted in the Indian educational system, preparing students for national entrance exams and higher studies within India.
At Gitanjali International School, the Middle Years program is designed to provide students with a strong academic foundation, whether they choose the Cambridge or CBSE pathway. This stage is crucial in shaping their future, offering them the tools and knowledge they need to succeed in their chosen academic and career paths.
