Students at the senior secondary level are offered a variety of subjects to choose from, giving the students the widest possible opportunity to specialize in their chosen areas of interest. Academic excellence remains a key area of focus for the school. The school provides all its students unrivalled opportunities to realize their full academic potential.

Teachers are chosen not only for their own intellectual skills but also for their ability and enthusiasm in communicating them to boys and girls of all ages. The teachers are well supported by several technicians and other ancillary and administrative staff. Teachers are encouraged to be flexible and individual in their approach.

The commitment of the school to excellence in academics is reflected in the consistently outstanding performance of its students in the annual examinations conducted by the CBSE.

The school academic year is from April to March, and is divided into two terms, as per the pattern prevalent in all English medium public schools in the country. Examinations may not be the true test of a child's ability, but regular classroom tests and periodic assessment at the school level are indicative of scholastic achievement. The results enable the teachers as well as students to reassess their orientation and take corrective measures, if required, to accord due attention to subjects and topics in which the child may need additional assistance.

Apart from the unit tests, results of which are intimated to parents, terminal examinations are organized twice each year. The half-yearly examinations take place in September/October while the final examinations are conducted in March every year.
