TCIS follows an enhanced blended curricular approach, developed by its own R&D, by inculcating the best practices of International Baccalaureate (IB) and CBSE curriculums. During the Foundational (Prep to Gr-2) and Preparatory (Gr-3 to Gr-5) Years, the IB approach is at the core into which best of CBSE is integrated. This uniquely designed pedagogical approach during the early years focuses on experiential learning combined with the best practices of textbook learning thereby promoting inquiry, stimulating children’s innate sense of wonder and encouraging their natural desire to seek answers to their questions. The strong foundation thus laid makes the subsequent stages of Middle (Gr-6 to Gr-8) and Higher (Gr-9 to Gr-12) Years more meaningful and effortless when the orientation moves up gradually from concept building to multidisciplinary concept integration and to career orientation in line with the core CBSE philosophy.

We believe in academic excellence through cross curriculum pedagogy. Everything we do as a school is aimed at achieving academic excellence

Further, from Grade-4 onwards TCIS uses a highly powerful deep learning tool based on neuro-psychology developed in-house in collaboration with experts. Before the start of a new chapter in the classroom, it helps teacher to analyze every child’s knowledge gaps which are essential to learn the new chapter. It helps the teacher to relearn such gaps before starting the new chapter so that every child in the class is able to achieve the desired learning outcome.
