At the senior school level (classes IX-XII), students are given greater freedom and responsibility by allowing them to take the initiative to plan and organize school events. Students are prepared for the class X examinations conducted by the ICSE Board and a wide choice of subjects is made available to students. In addition to the compulsory subjects, English, an Indian language (Hindi or Marathi) and social studies, students can choose additional subjects ranging from the standard choices of mathematics and sciences to subjects such as music, fine arts, physical education, environmental science, commercial studies, economics applications and computer science applications.
