ICSE (CLASS X)
The Indian Certificate of Secondary Education has been designed to provide an examination in a course of general education, through the medium of English; without any diversification of studies as all candidates are required to enter and sit for six subjects and Socially Useful Productive Work. The standard of the examination pre-supposes a school course of ten years.
L’école Chempaka “SILVER ROCKS” follows the ICSE curriculum from Grades I to X and the first batch of students came out with flying colours in 2009 which was continued ever since.
ISC (CLASS XII)
The Indian School Certificate Examination is an examination, through the medium of English, conducted after a two-year course of studies beyond the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (Grade X) examination or its equivalent examination.
All students must enter and sit for English (compulsory), with three, four or five elective subjects and must have been evaluated internally by the school and secured a pass grade in Socially Useful Productive Work and Community Service (compulsory).
The school offers ISC (Grades XI AND XII) curriculum in SCIENCE, COMMERCE AND HUMANITIES.
