Academic Year and Curriculum
The academic year starts from January and ends at December. Each year is divided into 3 terms, exams being held for all classes at the end of each term. Students move to a higher class if they pass the exams. All students from KG to Class 5 follow the same curriculum. After passing Class 4, they are offered a choice to follow either the International or National curriculum.

Famous quotes containing the words academic, year and/or curriculum:
“The poker player learns that sometimes both science and common sense are wrong; that the bumblebee can fly; that, perhaps, one should never trust an expert; that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of by those with an academic bent.”
—David Mamet (b. 1947)
“An ordinary man will work every day for a year at shoveling dirt to support his body, or a family of bodies; but he is an extraordinary man who will work a whole day in a year for the support of his soul. Even the priests, men of God, so called, for the most part confess that they work for the support of the body.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
