The Middle School Programme at CIS offers both CBSE and Cambridge (CIE) curricula, providing students with flexible academic pathways while maintaining a shared philosophy of learning. Regardless of the curriculum chosen, our practices are grounded in inquiry-based, learner-centred approaches that encourage students to think deeply, ask meaningful questions, and take ownership of their learning.
At this stage, students move beyond foundational knowledge to develop conceptual understanding, critical thinking, and real-world application of learning. Teaching and learning in Middle School at CIS are designed to nurture curiosity, independence, and confidence while preparing students for the academic rigour of the secondary years.
Our Middle School Programme focuses on building essential skills that support academic success and personal growth:
The Middle School years at CIS serve as a bridge between primary learning and the academic rigour of the senior years. Through inquiry-based practices and strong conceptual foundations, students are well prepared to transition confidently into CBSE Secondary, Cambridge IGCSE, or other international pathways.
At CIS, Middle School learning is designed to empower students to become curious, confident, and capable learners, ready to meet the challenges of an evolving world.
