Academic Divisions

Jump Start (Pre-primary)

The Brigade School @ Whitefield has classes from Nursery to Grade 12. Our pre-primary follows the Jump Start Programme, a perfect blend of the Montessori method and the traditional learning system. Our school strives to provide the best learning environment for students with spectacular infrastructure and state-of-the-art facilities.

In the pre-primary section, we have taken special care to create a warm, welcoming, and cheerful atmosphere, where children feel secure and happy, making their transition to primary school a smooth and happy progression.

Primary

In keeping with our philosophy of developing a “complete student”, emphasis is placed on respect, tolerance, integrity, and personal accountability. The focus is on introducing children to the excitement and challenges of independent learning. Development of essential skills like critical thinking, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to speak and write effectively are strongly encouraged. Counselling is conducted regularly and Yoga is introduced to enhance physical and mental agility.

Secondary

The curriculum in our schools lays a strong foundation during the early childhood, primary, and middle school years. As our students step into the secondary section, they learn to engage with the complex curriculum effectively. Our comprehensive programmes foster critical thinking, creativity, and leadership, and the focus is on building their aptitudes and skills.

The teachers help the students deal with academic and socio-emotional well being. As our students continue with their academic and extracurricular achievements, they grow into confident adults.

Senior Secondary

Our senior secondary section follows the CBSE curriculum and provides well-rounded education. Students can choose subjects depending on their interests and career plans. We focus on academic excellence, and offer a range of extracurricular activities, including yoga, sports, Art & Performing Arts. Our career guidance and counselling teams support students in making decisions about their future. The aim is to nurture confident, well-rounded individuals ready to thrive in today’s world.
