Class VIII & IX
Our approach for classes 8 and 9 is much more activity based and research orientated. Inquiry-based learning is one of the most used methodology where the teachers encourage students to ask questions and consider what they want to know. Students then research their questions, find information and sources. Findings might be presented as self-made videos, websites, or formal presentations of research results.
At the end of class 8, students are given the opportunity to continue their O Level studies or choose the AKU-EB. The Entry requirements to continue with O levels is attaining more than 70% in core subjects like Mathematics, English and Science.
O-Levels
Being the board appearing classes, the students of classes 10 and 11 are focused more towards exams. Nevertheless, personalized learning remains a very important strategy of the teachers where students are made responsible for their own learning. Student self-direction and choice in the curriculum are hallmarks of personalized learning. They can progress to work beyond their grade level as they master topics, while students who need additional help have that time built into their daily schedules as well. G-Suite and the use of audio-visual aids remain a great help in the access of resources and provision of relevant material to the students. The use of Google Classroom at all levels also keeps the students in touch with the teacher in spite of all odds.
Selecting O-level subjects can be a daunting task, therefore our students have access to academic and career counselors, who can help them assess individual strengths, weaknesses, and help students find their interests and careers. Out of more than 40 subjects offered by Cambridge at O level, we have chosen 15 subjects to make a diversified curriculum for our students to increase their opportunities to go to their desired field of higher education. These subjects are ranging from sciences to commerce and from social sciences to environmental management. We have categorised subjects as follows:
