CBSE Curriculum

Excellia School is affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and follows the CBSE curriculum in the K-12 format, using the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) pattern for a child's all-round development.

How the academic year is structured

The academic year follows CBSE guidelines and runs from April to March, split into two terms: Term I (April-September) and Term II (October-March). Assessment follows the CCE / Formative Assessment (FA) / Summative Assessment (SA) / project-work model, with regular evaluation rather than a single end-of-year exam deciding everything.

Class size and attention

No class at Excellia has more than 30 students, keeping the effective student-teacher ratio at or below 20:1 so that every child gets meaningful attention. Learning follows a multi-model approach that combines classroom instruction with project work, allied activities and home-task, rather than lectures alone.

Tracking every student's progress

Each student's progress is monitored and logged on a regular basis, backed by online record management so parents can review it over the year. Where a student needs extra support, remedial classes and performance-enhancement sessions run alongside the regular timetable to help close the gap.

More than academics

Alongside the syllabus, students are given life-skills and value education so that academics is only one part of their overall development -- consistent with the school's wider approach described on our Our Values page.
