FEATURES OF THE MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAMME
HOLISTIC DEVELOPMENT
The middle school curriculum is designed and executed in a systematic, scientific manner keeping in mind the prevalent trends and requirements in the field of education. The aim is to transition the students in a progressive and phased manner, towards the rigour of secondary school academic requirements, thereby enabling them to adapt to the ICSE and then ISC syllabus seamlessly.
As part of this process, students are encouraged to be involved in the teaching learning process. This includes interactive activities, projects, quizzes and digital presentations, all of which are an integral part of everyday school life for our middle schoolers. Dramatisation and extempore speeches help in the transaction educational process.
FACILITIES OFFERED
All middle school classrooms are equipped with interactive Smart Boards, that are preloaded with Digital Content on relevant subjects. This facilitates better understanding of units of learning.
Bright, spacious and well ventilated classrooms provide for a conducive physical environment for our students, to learn and grow.
Our library boasts an extensive collection of books across genres for every age category. A haven and research centre, the library is a favourite destination for our students. At JML school, we are committed to ensuring the Library is always up to date, with research material and resources for our students and teachers, alike.
We provide healthy and nutritious lunches to our students in the school Dining Hall. We also have a Canteen that offers healthy snack options.
ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION
Our Middle School employs a Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) process that is undertaken throughout the year. This ensures students are continually evaluated on a variety of parameters including activities, projects, presentations and student portfolios.
This process of evaluation ensures students develop a deep understanding of the respective subject matter. The method also helps them learn time management skills. And last but not least, this system instils the concept of academic integrity and ownership, thus preparing each child for the secondary and higher secondary years.
