Nursery to Class 10 — Maharashtra State Board, CBSE-pattern teaching till Class 7
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Sports, dance, music, art, drama, cultural events — woven into the weekly timetable, not pushed to Saturdays. See our extracurricular programme.
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.
Maharashtra State Board. The teaching pattern is CBSE-style through Class 7, then State Board syllabus from Class 8 to Class 10.
Pre-primary (Nursery, LKG, UKG), Primary (Class 1 to 5), Middle (Class 6 and 7), Secondary (Class 8 to 10).
Yes — Marathi is a core language alongside English and Hindi, aligned with State Board requirements.
Our CBSE-pattern teaching through Class 7 makes mid-stream transitions noticeably smoother. From Class 8 onwards the board alignment shifts to State Board.
