LANGUAGE
Effective communication and an efficient comprehension are both the means and the ultimate goal of learning a language. The Languages Faculty endeavour to instill a love for literature among the students while encouraging creative writing skills. Oral and aural skills are encouraged through public speaking and read-aloud sessions. Pair and group work give opportunities for more students to participate actively.
The pragmatic model of pedagogy brings in the dynamics of role-play, visits by literary persons of distinction and interactions with them, formation of clubs and societies and a student-managed publications department. Students are encouraged to learn at least 2 more languages besides English. Hindi is taught compulsorily up to class VIII. Sanskrit along with a foreign language is taught from classes VI to VIII.

NUMERACY
Mathematics is used throughout the world as an essential tool in many fields. The learning of Mathematics in the school endeavours to integrate math into the child's daily life. Students are encouraged to engage in experimental mathematics to be able to own clear concepts of the subject. Students are expected to acquire skills like spatial ability, reasoning, interpreting data, making estimates, finding patterns.

SCIENCE
We strive to arouse the innate curiosity of the student. The teaching of science encourages the students to distinguish opportunities to inquire and discover phenomena of the real world. They are encouraged to learn the skills of enquiry, hypothesis and testing through experimentation and observation. To develop a scientific way of thinking is the objective of teaching of science in the school.
In the Primary classes, the science curriculum clusters around Environmental Studies, Life and processes and the Physical World. The CBSE curriculum for Science and Technology is followed in the senior classes.

The discipline of Humanities covers a wide assortment of subjects. This discipline allows the students to gain new insights into everything from Psychology to Fine Arts to Home Science to Paintings to politics. The element of commonality runs among all these seemingly diverse subjects - the pluralisms of life and living.

In Class X, Economics also add to the list while in Class XI and XII Psychology, Sociology and Political Science is added.
