Kindergarten Curriculum
We recognize and honor the early childhood period as pivotal in building a foundation for the educational life of our students. It is here, where it all starts – growing curiosity and the love of learning! In the MIS Kindergarten program, we:
- Value the home school connection. We see parents as partners, we value their input and the ways in which we can work together to support learning.
- Hire and maintain a highly qualified teaching staff.
- See each child as an individual, thus personalizing the learning experience to tailor to his/her needs.
- Provide a well-rounded program that values the arts, physical education, language learning and intellectual engagement.

Curriculum Areas at Senior Secondary Level
The Senior Secondary School Curriculum under CBSE typically encompasses classes 11 and 12. It aims to provide a holistic education that prepares students for higher education and equips them with essential skills for life.

These learning areas are to be integrated with each other in terms of knowledge, skills (life and livelihood), comprehension, values and attitudes.

Learners value and engage in practices that promote physical, cognitive, emotional and social development and wellbeing. This enables learners to connect different areas of knowledge, application and values with their own lives and the world around them.

General Studies
The purpose of orienting students to General Studies is to develop in them an appreciation for the holistic nature of knowledge. In contemporary times, familiarity with General Studies is indispensable because at the senior school stage there is an element of specialization due to which the students do not get exposed to some vital disciplines/areas of study that are not covered in their specialized field.
