Cambridge Lower Secondary offers schools a flexible curriculum that can be developed to suit their needs. The Lower Secondary programme is offered to students from classes 6 to 8 at The Shri Ram School, Moulsari campus.
At The Shri Ram School, there is a curriculum framework for each subject – English, Mathematics and Science – providing a clear teaching structure. Each curriculum framework is designed to engage learners in an active and creative learning journey.
English
Cambridge Lower Secondary English enables learners to communicate confidently and effectively and to develop the skills to respond to a range of information, media and texts with understanding and enjoyment. Learners who follow this framework will develop a first language competency in English based on a curriculum designed to be successful in any culture and to promote cross-cultural understanding.
Mathematics
The curriculum framework explores six content areas: number, algebra, geometry, measure, handling data and problem solving. The first five content areas are all underpinned by problem solving, which provides a structure for the application of mathematical skills. Mental strategies are also an important part of the number content. The curriculum focuses on principles, patterns, systems, functions and relationships, so that learners apply their mathematical knowledge and develop a holistic understanding of the subject
Science
This curriculum framework covers four content areas: scientific enquiry, Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Scientific enquiry is about considering ideas, evaluating evidence, planning investigative work, and recording and analysing data. The scientific enquiry objectives underpin Biology, Chemistry and Physics, which are focused on developing confidence and interest in scientific knowledge. Environmental awareness and some history of science are also part of the curriculum.
