Academics
At EIS, every young learner is a winner. We are focussed on enabling growth for all our learners. To achieve this, we have developed a specialized Diagnosis Test; which is not a typical entrance exam, but is a mechanism through which a learner’s current academic standing is analyzed.
For the analysis, we have set four parameters in the form of colour codes viz. Yellow, Orange, Green, and Pink
Here, students scoring less than 50% marks are encouraged to take up a retest (second diagnosis) after being subject to thorough revision and support by the respective subject faculty.
This is done through personalized mentoring, and to ensure that the student scales up to the Orange band in the next round of diagnosis.
Here, our key focus is to ensure that students scale up one step at a time and gradually get to the Pink band where they are in a position to excel in their Academics.
Upon diagnosis of a learner, we place them in these bands on the results of their performance in the test:
Emerald International School is affiliated to both the National Board – CBSE and International Board Cambridge Assessment (proposed). At the Preparatory Stage (for Grade IV and V) and Middle school, we follow an interdisciplinary approach where students learn the national curriculum in depth and seamlessly progress towards the international curriculum; thereby deriving the best of learning from both worlds.
During the onset of Secondary Schooling (Grade IX), students make an informed choice between CBSE and Cambridge assessment through multiple expert consultations and counseling for their board of education at both secondary and Sr. Secondary levels.
At EIS, the curriculum offers continuous and constructive challenges for students from a young age to test the tenacity of their cognitive ability. Every student at EIS prepares themselves for application, analysis, judgment and evaluation.
Opening the horizon of this unmatched dimension of learning makes an Emeraldian stand apart. At this juncture, our specialized Individual Progress Plan (IPP) is a benchmark programme to support the uniqueness of every child.
Continued improvement of learning excellence is very individualistic and an inward process at EIS. Students take their holistic and individual learning to the next level by engaging and reflecting upon their learning through a specialized guiding process with teachers/mentors. This is a cycle of four weeks of action and support with clear, measurable and achievable individual goals. Our students also practice the art of ‘KAIZEN’, for continued improvement and thereby making it a habit for life.
School of Common Sciences, at EIS, is established to offer learners the freedom and privilege to explore the multiverse of Common Science and Common Sense Life Skills.
We are in the process of setting up an elaborated makerspace for Engineering, Biology, and Organic Farming.
At the SCS, we foster Art Forms, Sustainability and Mindful Consumerism to open up learners to a world of unique engagement coupled with street smartness.
Every student at EIS spends about 150 hours in an academic year exploring the possibilities at the SCS.
Students have more than 20 Co-Curricular Options, including:
Diplomacy & LeadershipWealth Creation & InvestmentApplied RoboticsArt PortfolioSurvival SkillsBusiness EntrepreneurshipBiotechnologyFashion & Textile DesignFamily BusinessCulinary LabSchool BandPerforming Arts Creative Technology & Engineering at the School of Common Sciences. The EIS Pathway Programme lets learners explore the best universities of the world; whilst also enabling them to prepare for the entrance tests of these universities.
Through the EIS Pathways programme, we mentor students through extensive preparation for students from a young age. However, students of Grade 9 to 12 finishing school are given extra support and assistance to crack competitive national level entrance exams viz. JEE, NEET, CLAT, NATA, IP-MAT, UPSC- NDA; and international level exams like SAT, UKCAT, IELTS, and more.
Life in a boarding school exposes students to an all new world. Here, students are introduced to myriads of academic, co curricular, sports, life skills lessons and enriching experiences.
Being in a boarding school, students take up the responsibility for themselves and develop more confidence and interpersonal skills as they meet and interact with a wider spectrum of classmates and teaching and non-teaching faculties.
Staying in a boarding saves time, especially that required for daily commuting to school. At boarding, students can utilize this time to study, join sports, learn music or join a hobby club.
Living on campus develops and nurtures the life traits of perseverance, independence, team building, self-reliance.
While staying on campus students learn better organization, cooperation, communication and working under guided routines.

EIS takes pride in its dedication to meeting all students' learning needs, irrespective of these requirements being to help students for academic success or preparing them to complete additional challenges.
At EIS, every student works closely with their expert Academic Coach to ensure creation of a monthly action plan and set goals for academic improvement. We also take great pride in watching our students flourish at EIS and realize their academic goals; after having been nurtured to reach their full potential at a learning environment crafted specifically to their individual talents.
The Academic Coaching Program, at EIS, was set up to help students facing trouble being as productive as they could be during evening study hours. Students in the Academic Coaching Program study in classrooms with the help of an Academic Learning Coach in the evening prep hours. The Academic Coach is a person who is very dedicated to getting to understand individual students’ learning needs.
He or she is in charge of keeping an eye on each student's log, helping them organize their time and materials while they study, changing their focus when they need to, and teaching them general study skills. Mostly, an Academic Coach works with no more than five students in a single classroom.
This study arrangement has improved learning for students requiring additional support.. Participating students testify to the fact of being able to manage their workload through close association with an expert Academic Coach.
The Counseling begins with initiation of personal contact through telephone; here, information on various aspects concerning the students are recorded and their interests are also captured.
Students and parents are encouraged to visit the EIS campus by scheduling a prior appointment. While at the campus, they are guided in every step by our expert campus counsellors.
To better analyze career/academic interests of students, we subject them to a hassle-free psychometric test. Results of the test are made available to the students in the form of a report containing detailed information not only about the students’ career interests but also various essential aspects such as personality, inclination, mindset analysis, and character traits.
Post the Psychometric Test, with the student analysis in hand, students (and parents) are required to fill out the Admissions Application form indicating their preferred grade.
To evaluate the current academic standing of a student, we conduct a specialized Diagnostic Test where a comprehensive evaluation of a student’s academic strength (or weakness) is carried out. Based on this assessment, students are mentored to scale up to higher levels in academic strengths. Post the Diagnostic Test, students are placed in various colour bands viz. Yellow, Orange, Green, Pink (check the Academics Page for more information on Academic Diagnosis of a student).
Upon academic diagnosis, students (and parents) can book admissions for their preferred grade and begin a new journey in life which is all about Exploring a Multiverse of their own at the EIS campus.
