Curriculum

At Harrow School (Sr. Secondary), we follow the curriculum prescribed by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), New Delhi, and align our academic framework with the vision of the National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) and the National Curriculum Framework (NCF).

Our curriculum is designed to move beyond rote learning and focus on competency-based education, conceptual clarity, skill development, and experiential learning.

The curriculum encourages:

  • Critical thinking and analytical skills
  • Interdisciplinary learning approaches
  • Introduction to skill-based and vocational exposure
  • Integration of technology in classrooms

  • Conceptual depth and academic rigor
  • Competency-based assessments as per CBSE guidelines
  • Stream choices in Science, Commerce, and Humanities

Assessment practices include formative and summative evaluations designed to measure application, analysis, and real-life problem-solving abilities.
