  • Separate Classes- Grade 1 joiners in January are grouped in separate classes and undergo the tailor-made Programme which is thoughtfully designed to help them accomplish the concepts in a short time.
  • Small Class Size The classes for the Bridge Programme are small in size so that teachers can pay individual attention and spend more one-to-one time with the students.
