Middle Stage

Class VI - Class VIII (age 11 - 14 years)

At Guru Nanak English School, we believe the middle school years are a time of exploration, growth, and self-discovery. Students begin to engage more deeply with academic subjects while honing essential skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaboration. They are encouraged to expand their curiosity about the world, deepening their understanding of subjects and exploring new ideas both in academics and extracurricular activities.

These years also mark the transition to high school, where students prepare for more advanced learning. The focus shifts to developing independent research and study habits, mastering key concepts across subjects, and exploring new opportunities in extracurriculars.
