ICSE Examination
The ICSE Examination is structured to provide a general education through English as the medium of instruction. It ensures a well-rounded education without subject diversification, requiring candidates to take six subjects, including English (compulsory), and be assessed on Socially Useful Productive Work (SUPW) and Community Service.
The ICSE curriculum assumes a school course of twelve years (Nursery to Class 10) and provides flexibility in subject choices to help students enhance their performance according to their aptitude and skills.
With a detailed and comprehensive syllabus, the ICSE curriculum emphasizes English, giving students an advantage in clearing international exams like IELTS, TOEFL, and SAT. It offers a wide range of alternative subjects and encourages the use of diverse learning materials for a deeper understanding of concepts.
Assessment and evaluation in ICSE aim to measure a student's inherent abilities, aptitude, and creativity while promoting original thinking and ideas.
