Middle school

Leaving the small world of primary school to the big world of middle school can be nerve-racking at first. Middle school means more homework, new teachers, new friends, and many more changes from the previous one. This can be a little daunting to a child. However, students are helped at Darshan Academy to review their material and study with easy techniques like simple questioning, asking to provide the missing word, writing, reading, speaking, and listening.

Repeating words, re-reading passages aloud, re-writing notes, or visualizing or drawing information all are practiced at our school to help their brain retain data. Every possible effort is made to stimulate and nurture young minds which strive for excellence through active learning and to enable children to become great thinkers, proactive, sensitive and respectful global citizens with a progressive outlook.

Darshan Academy is known for its well-designed system that fosters both academic and personal growth of Darshanites so that they can analyze and evaluate their experience, learn, to question, to investigate and to think independently.

Our school curriculum provides and promotes a learning environment based on developmental readiness, needs, and interests. Different approaches are used at Darshan Academies during the teaching-learning process at the Middle school level to make learning engaging.

Student-led parent teacher conference

Students take ownership of their learning and they are able to reflect on what they have learned, accomplished or have yet to accomplish. Self regulation is inculcated in their personalities.

Visuals and labs

Use of visuals such as Smart boards in the class rooms, well structured activities and research based program help in developing concepts and applications in various subjects.

Life Skills

Students learn peaceful conflict resolution skills and ethical values. The daily meditation sessions help students find inner peace and happiness. The young adolescents learn the value of helping others and how to make a positive contribution to the world.

Teacher student relationships

A strong, healthy and understanding relationship is developed between a teacher and a student to positively motivate students.

We follow the CBSE pattern at Darshan Academy to meet learning objectives, such as:

To develop cognitive, psychomotor and effective skills
To emphasize thought process.

Innovative teaching-learning strategies
