PRIMARY, SECONDARY & HIGHER SECONDARY

The New Indian School follows the SCERT (State Council of Educational Research & Training) curriculum at primary, secondary, and higher secondary levels, along with the MOE curriculum for Arabic language, Islamic education, and UAE social studies.

The SCERT curriculum was updated in 2005 as activity based, process-oriented, and learner-centered pedagogy, and updated for the higher secondary level in 2013. The KG curriculum is designed as per the UAE vision to promote and reinforce enrollment in preschools as this plays an important role in shaping children’s personalities and their future.
