A Curriculum Organised Across Four Stages
The CBSE curriculum at SIRS is organised across four stages from Nursery to Class X. Each stage reflects the learning requirements of that phase of schooling. Class X students sit the CBSE Board Examination conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education, New Delhi.
Four Developmental Stages
Language acquisition, early numeracy, general knowledge, and moral education.
The Foundation stage covers Nursery, LKG, and UKG through Class II. In the pre-primary years, learning is structured around English, Hindi, Mathematics, Moral Values, Art and Craft, and General Knowledge. From Class I, Environmental Studies and Information Technology are introduced alongside Logical Reasoning.
Instruction at this stage is activity-based, with an emphasis on oral language, number recognition, and the formation of basic study habits.
- English
- Hindi
- Mathematics
- EVS (from Class I)
- General Knowledge
- Information Technology (from Class I)
- Art & Craft
- Moral Values
- Reasoning (from Class I)
Core subject grounding, reading fluency, and mathematical reasoning.
In the Primary stage, the curriculum expands to include Science and Social Science as distinct subjects alongside English, Hindi, and Mathematics. Subject content becomes progressively more structured, with greater emphasis on reading comprehension, written expression, and numerical reasoning.
Computer studies, incorporating AI and Robotics, are part of the timetable from Class III. Art and Craft and Moral Values continue through Class V.
- English
- Hindi
- Mathematics
- Science
- Social Science
- Computer & AI
- General Knowledge
- Art & Craft

- Reasoning
Subject specialisation, scientific enquiry, and social science.
The Middle School stage marks the beginning of distinct subject specialisation within the CBSE framework. Science and Social Science are taught with greater depth — Social Science incorporating History, Geography, Civics, and Economics as integrated strands.
Sanskrit is introduced at Class VI and continues through Class VIII. Artificial Intelligence is offered as a subject across the Middle School stage. Students at this level engage in structured laboratory work and develop more independent study habits, supported by the school’s supervised study periods.
- English

Classes IX and X follow the CBSE secondary curriculum across five principal subjects. Class IX consolidates the subject knowledge developed in the Middle School stage; Class X students sit the CBSE Board Examination conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education, New Delhi.
Social Science at this stage covers History, Geography, Political Science, and Economics as distinct NCERT strands. Artificial Intelligence continues as a sixth subject. Supervised study periods and periodic internal assessments form part of the daily residential routine.

Beyond the Classroom
Co-scholastic development is integral to the SIRS curriculum at every stage. The following areas form a structured part of the school’s academic and daily programme.
Structured sports and fitness activity forming a compulsory part of the weekly timetable at all stages.
Vocal and instrumental music instruction integrated across Foundation, Primary, and Middle stages.
Drawing, painting, and craft work cultivating visual thinking and fine motor skills from the earliest years.
Practical computing instruction from Class III onwards, building digital literacy and computational thinking.
Regular library periods supporting reading habits, research skills, and self-directed learning across all stages.
A structured daily assembly building habits of punctuality, reflection, and collective institutional identity.
