Teaching Methodology
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) stream for XI & XII Std offers a holistic approach to education, emphasizing various aspects of a student’s development. The board emphasises hands-on experience, project work, and case studies to enhance learning. Students are encouraged to develop problem-solving and analytical skills. CBSE follows a learner-centric teaching methodology that promotes critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. It integrates experiential learning, technology, and interactive teaching methods. This approach encourages active student participation and helps in retaining knowledge effectively. In Bangalore, several CBSE schools for 11th and 12th grades offer this comprehensive educational framework, providing students with a platform to excel academically and develop essential life skills.
The core principle of CBSE is to provide a balanced education that equips students with both knowledge and life skills.

At the end of each chapter students are instructed to prepare an analysis of the chapters to test their understanding of the lesson through various methods such as presentations.
