FOUNDATION PROGRAM

Grade IX and X

Why does your child need a foundation program?

Teaching a child today about a fax machine as a means of communication is irrelevant. Yes, this worked in our time or our parents’ time but just because it did, doesn’t mean we continue to follow it. Today’s generation has modern challenges which need modern solutions. Similarly today teaching a child just so that he does well in his weekly/term exams is irrelevant if that eventually does not ensure a secure career and a successful life.

The ultimate goal of Schooling in Class 9 onwards is not only good school marks but securing admission into a top college right after school. So how does the child get into a Top College after school? The answer is: Through Entrance Exams such as SATs, BITSAT, JEE, NEET, CLAT etc. This does not mean that School or Board Exams are not important. It only means that preparing for only school or Board Exams is not going to be enough.

Why now?

Education landscape has changed immensely across India as well as abroad. Today students are more informed and better prepared. Also, college admissions have become far more competitive. The need for a foundation program is immediate because:

In India, students start foundation programs as early as in Class 6/7/8. They are the real competition for admission into Indian colleges. We must act now else our kids who start late may be left behind.
Huge increase in academic rigour from 10th to 11th. A foundation program helps in bridging that gap to avoid any unpleasant dip in performance in higher grades.
Class 9th and 10th syllabus is mapped to 11th and 12th respectively. If your Class 9th and 10th foundation is sound, then your 11th and 12th will be strong which eventually means better school performance and admissions into reputed colleges.
Concept clarity in core subjects leads to good academic performance. This builds students’ confidence and keeps them motivated to be on track for a successful career.
Foundation program helps in scoring top marks leading to desired stream allotment.
Develops Logical Reasoning, Problem Solving Skills and good study habits
Helps in career awareness, competitive spirit, peer-motivation and setting of higher aspirations
