A parent's programme guide to the stages of school in India, and the questions worth asking.

Programme guide

Google lists the school as a higher secondary school, but we could not confirm which classes it runs. This guide shows the usual stages so that you know what to ask. It is not the school's own list.

Early years before Class 1

Nursery, KG or pre-primary classes, the years before Class 1. Children usually learn through play, stories, songs, drawing and first letters and numbers.

General picture. Whether the school runs this stage: to be confirmed by the school.

Ask the school

  • Does the school run classes before Class 1?
  • What age must my child be, and by which date?
  • How long is the school day for the youngest children?

Primary usually Classes 1 to 5

Reading, writing and number work become the daily core, usually with English, Hindi, maths and the world around us, plus drawing and games.

Ask the school

  • Which classes does the school begin and end with?
  • What is the medium of teaching?
  • How are children helped if they fall behind in reading?

Middle school usually Classes 6 to 8

Subjects separate: science, social science, languages and maths each get their own period, and homework and tests become regular.

Ask the school

  • Which subjects and languages are taught?
  • How often are tests held, and how are parents told?
  • Is there a science room, library or computer time?

Secondary usually Classes 9 and 10

The years leading to the Class 10 board examination. Parents usually want to know the board, the subjects and how results are shared.

Ask the school

  • Which board does the school follow, and what is its code?
  • Which subjects are offered in Classes 9 and 10?
  • How are weaker subjects supported before the board exam?

Senior secondary usually Classes 11 and 12

Google lists the school as a higher secondary school. Schools in India that run Classes 11 and 12 usually offer streams such as Science, Commerce or Arts; which ones this school offers is not known.

Ask the school

  • Does the school run Classes 11 and 12?
  • Which streams and subject combinations are offered?
  • What help is there for exams and for choosing a path after Class 12?

Seeing it, not only hearing it

Ask to see a classroom while lessons are on. Ask whether children get to do experiments, read in a library or use computers, and how often. The school's own answer is worth more than any brochure.
