TCIS follows an enhanced blended curricular approach, developed by its own R&D, by inculcating the best practices of International Baccalaureate (IB) and CBSE curriculums. During the Foundational (Prep to Gr-2) and Preparatory (Gr-3 to Gr-5) Years, the IB approach is at the core into which best of CBSE is integrated. This uniquely designed pedagogical approach during the early years focuses on experiential learning combined with the best practices of textbook learning thereby promoting inquiry, stimulating children’s innate sense of wonder and encouraging their natural desire to seek answers to their questions. The strong foundation thus laid makes the subsequent stages of Middle (Gr-6 to Gr-8) and Higher (Gr-9 to Gr-12) Years more meaningful and effortless when the orientation moves up gradually from concept building to multidisciplinary concept integration and to career orientation in line with the core CBSE philosophy.
