Our Curriculum

Nursery to Class 10 — Maharashtra State Board, CBSE-pattern teaching till Class 7

The Pride School, Hingna Nagpur — students writing and learning across primary, middle and secondary stages
Overview

A curriculum built around the Maharashtra State Board, taught the way modern parents expect

The Pride School is a Maharashtra State Board affiliated, English medium school. We follow a CBSE-pattern teaching approach up to Class 7, then transition into the State Board syllabus for Classes 8, 9 and 10. The combination is deliberate — it gives early-years children the conceptual breadth that the CBSE pattern is known for, while preparing them properly for State Board examinations and Maharashtra-specific opportunities like scholarship exams and the Class 10 boards.

Across every stage, we work three things in parallel: academics, technology-enabled learning, and extracurricular activities. None of these are bolt-ons — they're built into the weekly timetable.

Stages

Four stages, one continuous journey

Pre-primary (Nursery, LKG, UKG)

The first three years are about settling into school happily. Activity-based learning, phonics and early reading, basic numeracy, motor-skill play, songs and storytelling. We deliberately keep the academic load gentle here — what matters more is that the child arrives at Class 1 confident, curious, and comfortable in English.

  • Activity-based, play-led approach
  • Early English literacy and Marathi exposure
  • Pre-numeracy concepts through games
  • Music, rhymes, art, free play

Primary (Class 1 to 5)

The years where habits form. We work to a CBSE-pattern teaching framework here — concept-first, application-driven, with regular projects rather than rote memorisation. Three languages (English, Marathi, Hindi), Mathematics, Environmental Studies / Science, and dedicated computer education from Class 1.

  • CBSE-pattern teaching methodology
  • Tri-language formula: English, Marathi, Hindi
  • Mathematics and Environmental Studies
  • Computer education from Class 1 onwards
  • Sports, art and music in the weekly timetable

Middle (Class 6 and 7)

A two-year bridge. Subjects deepen, written assessments expand, and we still hold the CBSE-style teaching pattern. Science is split into more discrete strands, Social Studies is introduced as History / Geography / Civics, and Mathematics moves into algebra and geometry foundations. Computer education becomes more application-focused.

  • Last stage taught in CBSE-pattern methodology
  • Discrete Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) introduction
  • Social Studies: History, Geography, Civics
  • Mathematics: algebra and geometry foundations
  • Project work and presentations in every subject

Secondary (Class 8, 9, 10)

Classes 8 to 10 align fully with the Maharashtra State Board syllabus. The teaching pivot here is exam-readiness — without losing the conceptual style built earlier. Students prepare for the SSC Class 10 board examination, scholarship-type assessments, and life beyond school.

  • Full Maharashtra State Board syllabus alignment
  • Structured preparation for SSC Class 10 boards
  • Career-orientation and stream-choice support before Class 11
  • Practical labs, written assessments, mock examinations
  • Sports and cultural representation continues
How each stage runs

Three things that run alongside academics every day

Technology-enabled learning

Smart classrooms with projected lessons and interactive content, Wi-Fi-enabled campus, computer education from Class 1 onwards. Technology supports the teacher — it doesn't replace them.

Extracurricular as a weekday

Sports, dance, music, art, drama, cultural events — woven into the weekly timetable, not pushed to Saturdays. See our extracurricular programme.

Values and life-skills

Honesty, respect, responsibility, teamwork — these aren't slogans on the wall. We use circle-time discussions, real classroom moments, and community participation to build them in.
