The 50 year old legacy of Smt Sulochanadevi Singhania School, being ranked No 1 in Co-curricular education, and international mindedness, it was a very natural progression for the school to step into International Education. At the school under the able leadership and guidance of the Director Education and Dean Dr Revathi Srinivasan, we offer a harmonious blend of Indianness and Internationalism giving the students a platform to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

Our school follows the Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) curriculum, offering Cambridge Primary (ages 5–11), Cambridge Lower Secondary (ages 11–14), and Cambridge IGCSE (ages 14–16) and International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (ages 16-18)

Children can join at any stage, depending on age and previous schooling.

• Cambridge Primary typically begins at age 5–6 (Grade 1).
• Cambridge Lower Secondary starts around age 11 (Grade 6).
• IGCSE begins around age 14 (Grade 9).
• IBDP begins for age 16-17 (Grade 11)

The Cambridge and the IBDP curriculum promote critical thinking, inquiry-based learning, and global awareness. They are internationally recognized and prepare students for further education both in India and abroad.

We conduct age-appropriate placement assessments in English and Mathematics for IGCSE (Grade 9) and a skill based diagnostic assessment for IBDP (Grade 11) to understand your child's learning level and ensure the right academic fit.

Yes, IGCSE and IBDP are accepted by leading universities and educational institutions globally, including in India. They are recognized by AIU (Association of Indian Universities) as equivalent to Class 10/12 qualifications.

Cambridge uses a combination of internal assessments and externally marked exams. IGCSE students sit for formal examinations at the end of Grade 10, conducted by Cambridge International.

The International Baccalaureate® (IB) assesses student work as direct evidence of achievement against the stated goals of the Diploma Programme (DP) courses. DP assessment procedures measure the extent to which students have mastered advanced academic skills in fulfilling these goals. In addition to academic skills, DP assessment encourages an international outlook and intercultural skills, wherever appropriate. Student results are determined by performance against set standards, not by each student's position in the overall rank order.

Our academic year typically runs from July to May, with school hours from 8.30 am to 3.30 pm. A detailed calendar is shared at the beginning of the academic year.
