The seeds of sound reasoning and overall development of academic rigor and discipline are sown at the primary level. With a greater ability for abstract thinking, they begin to bear fruit now. The focus on inquiry-based learning continues, as do parallel in-depth explorations of subjects - Biology, Physics and Chemistry; Algebra, Geometry and Arithmetic; History, Civics, Geography; Language and Literature Appreciation; Art and Music; and Sports; which often culminate into integrated projects. Assessments are not based merely on subject knowledge, but also on researching, organizing, presentation and application skills.
