Introduction

The campus follows a mixed Montessori curriculum for its Kindergarten students and the Cambridge Primary and Lower Secondary curriculums for Grades 1 through 8. A distinctive feature of the school is its specialized After-School Clubs, which offer concrete skill development beyond standard classes. For example, the Robotics Club allows students to build personalized robots using school-provided kits and chips while earning level certifications in AI and robotics. Additionally, students can train with a National Level Chess Coach or prepare for Math and Science Olympiad exams. With a student body of just over 100 children representing 10 nationalities, the school maintains an intimate, highly individualized learning environment. Instruction is in English, and supplementary language clubs in Japanese, Hindi, and Tamil help students deepen their multilingual abilities.
