Upper Primary (Grade 6 to 10)
The upper primary level‟s curriculum builds on the concepts and skills learnt in the primary level. It ensures progression and continuity across various stages of learning in the school, and incorporates continuous evaluation and review of the children‟s performance.
The main aims of the curriculum are developing skills related to writing, reading, reflecting, critical thinking, public speaking among students and a desire to acquire knowledge.
Art and craft are integrated into the mainstream curriculum to offer different dimensions to the curriculum.
Physical education is offered in a more formal manner and sports skills are fine-tuned.
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 and excursions aid in developing social skills and in raising awareness about the world. Projects, presentations and group activities are more formal and research-based.
Inter-house cultural and sports competitions encourage healthy competition and team spirit. Students learn to contribute to class assemblies, concerts and drama productions, and take up roles of responsibility.
English
English studies (or simply, English) is an academic discipline taught in Kindergarten, primary, secondary, and post-secondary education in English-speaking countries. This is not to be confused with English taught as a foreign language, which is a distinct discipline. The English studies discipline involves the study, analysis, and exploration of English literature through texts.
Tamil
As per research conducted by the Schools in Delhi, It is mandatory to study Tamil as a subject in schools. However, parents have the option to choose English medium schools if they prefer. Students who opt to study in English medium schools must study Tamil as a second language. This is also required by the government of Tamil Nadu.
Hindi
Hindi is part of the ICSE Second Language course. Students can also choose many other regional languages like Tamil, Gujarati, Bengali, and Marathi as part of the ICSE Class 10 Indian Languages syllabus. However, Hindi remains the most preferred choice among students.
Mathematics
Mathematics is an area of knowledge that includes the topics of numbers, formulas and related structures, shapes and the spaces in which they are contained, and quantities and their changes. These topics are represented in modern mathematics with the major subdisciplines of number theory,algebra, geometry, and analysis, respectively. There is no general consensus among mathematicians about a common definition for their academic discipline.
Physics
Physics, science that deals with the structure of matter and the interactions between the fundamental constituents of the observable universe. In the broadest sense, physics (from the Greek physikos) is concerned with all aspects of nature on both the macroscopic and submicroscopic levels. Its scope of study encompasses not only the behaviour of objects under the action of given forces but also the nature and origin of gravitational, electromagnetic, and nuclear force fields.
Chemistry
Chemistry, the science that deals with the properties, composition, and structure of substances (defined as elements and compounds), the transformations they undergo, and the energy that is released or absorbed during these processes. Every substance, whether naturally occurring or artificially produced, consists of one or more of the hundred-odd species of atoms that have been identified as elements. Although these atoms, in turn, are composed of more elementary particles, they are the basic building blocks of chemical substances; there is no quantity of oxygen, mercury, or gold, for example, smaller than an atom of that substance.
Biology
Biology, study of living things and their vital processes. The field deals with all the physicochemical aspects of life. The modern tendency toward cross-disciplinary research and the unification of scientific knowledge and investigation from different fields has resulted in significant overlap of the field of biology with other scientific disciplines. Modern principles of other fields—chemistry, medicine, and physics, for example—are integrated with those of biology in areas such as biochemistry, biomedicine, and biophysics.
History and Civics
History is about understanding how the world works and how people have interacted with each other in the past. Civics is about understanding how the government works and how citizens can participate in their government. Civic education is the study of the theoretical, political and practical aspects of citizenship. History is an umbrella term that relates to past events as well as the memory, discovery, collection, organization, presentation, and interpretation of information about these events.
Geography
Geography is the study of Earth’s landscapes, peoples, places, and environments. Eratosthenes is considered the father of geography. Geography is usually broken down into two main categories: physical and cultural. Studying geography helps us understand our environment, from helping us to predict natural disasters to implementing changes in response to issues such as global warming. From how weather systems work to natural phenomena, global population and migration, you will develop a strong knowledge of how the world works.
Computer
The study of computers, their functions, operations, and related software programs is referred to as computer education. Computer education is essential in schools because it gives pupils the skills they need to think critically and solve problems as well as preparing them for a digital future. Here is a detailed guide on computer education in the modern era.
