Secondary School – 9th to 12th Grades
Secondary School – 9th to 12th Grades
The Secondary Stage is for the Age Group of 15 to 18 years. This is another transition time for children as they move to adolescence. The hormones are raging and at the same time, the children need to focus on Board Exams. Not only should they have understood the basics very well but they need to know the techniques to attempt examinations – Board or the Competitive Exams for Higher Learning. Learning styles change as there is pressure on children. To reduce the pressure on children during the critical years of 10th and 12th Grade Boards, Smrti Academy takes a more fundamental approach to examinations. Children are given a very strong understanding of the basics once again. Then, we set about to help take the children across the Finish Line with confidence. Meticulous planning is done to equip children to handle exams. The syllabus is completed ahead of time so that there is enough time for various practice and mock exam sessions. This not only helps children use the knowledge given by strengthening the fundamentals but also works on their muscle memory for the approach to exams. When they move out of Smrti Academy after Grade 12, they move out as happy, confident individuals ready to take on the course of their choice in any University in the world.
In 2022, Smrti will take children up to and including 9th Grade and will progress to take children in 10th Grade, 11th and 12th in 2023, 2024 and 2025.
