Our approach

“Excellence, Examined”

The ICSE is a two-year course covering Classes IX and X; the ISC follows for Classes XI and XII. Students appear for the ICSE and ISC examinations of the CISCE at the end of Class X and Class XII respectively.

Preparation runs wider than the board. Students are guided towards the NTSE and KVPY, and drawn into MUNs, debates, quizzes and national and international Olympiads — so that by Class XII, choosing a future feels like a considered decision, not a gamble.

The 2026 results speak plainly: a 100% pass rate in both boards, an ISC average of 83.65% with Niyati Saxena at 99%, an ICSE average of 86.51% with Ayush Yadav at 97.40% — and 47% of ICSE students above 90%.
