Junior School

The Junior School includes Preschool, Kindergarten and Grades 1 to 6. About 100 students are in the Junior School programme. Children who will be five years old by July 31 are eligible for entrance into Kindergarten during August of the same year. Classes are intentionally kept smaller than at other levels of the school, creating a closer teacher-student relationship and a good environment for academic success. The Preschool programme is for children who are at least 3 years old. Boarding students are accepted from Grade 3.

Junior School students have one classroom teacher for major subjects (English, Mathematics, Religious Education, Science, and Social Studies). For the minor subjects (Art, Hindi, Library Skills, Music, Computer Studies and Physical Education), the teacher is assisted by specialists. Students are introduced to computers and may begin private lessons on a musical instrument as early as Grade 4, depending on the space available. They take part in all-school activities appropriate to their age and ability, from environmental and community outreach projects to hikes, India Week, Activity Week and all-school assemblies. Students are required to participate regularly in sports and be a member of a club for at least a semester. Students also have opportunities to take part in intramural and inter-school sports like basketball, cricket, football, athletics and cross-country races. On the weekends, there are gym nights, movies, concerts, skits and quizzes.
