UPPER ELEMENTARY
Children belonging to the Upper Elementary level are nurtured and guided in a way that enables them to develop a deeper concentration of the world around them and the maturity to participate with greater responsibility.
Subjects that are part of the Upper Elementary curriculum include Languages (Hindi and English), Math, World History, Geography, Matter and astronomy, Zoology, Botany, and Health Sciences.
Apart from these:

Public speaking and circle-time activities impart skills that enable them to make wider social connections
-
They are provided with greater stimulus for abstract thought in subjects like cultural geography, spirituality and astronomy

-
We encourage children to internalize ground rules and work better with external authority
-
They develop creativity and originality of thought
-
Children are intrinsically motivated to learn and enjoy academic challenges
