B : Academic Stages & Subjects Offered

The CBSE curriculum at DeMatha is delivered across three progressive stages. Select a stage to view its subjects and academic focus.

1
Pre-Primary — LKG & UKG
Foundation Stage · Ages 3–5 · Play-based, activity-led learning
Foundation

The Pre-Primary years build the foundations of literacy, numeracy, and social confidence through play, rhyme, storytelling, and structured activity. Children are introduced to English phonics and number concepts at a pace suited to their age, in a warm classroom environment where curiosity is encouraged and every child is known by name.

English Phonics & Rhymes Number Concepts Colours, Shapes & Patterns Environmental Awareness Art, Craft & Storytelling Music, Movement & Play
2
Primary — Class I to Class V
Lower & Upper Primary · Ages 5–10 · Building subject knowledge and fluency
Primary

The Primary stage moves from foundational skills to systematic subject learning. Reading and writing fluency deepen, mathematical reasoning is built step by step, and Environmental Studies gives way to distinct Science and Social Studies from Class III. Assamese joins English and Hindi as a third language, and Computer Applications begins in the school Computer Room.

English Language & Literature Hindi Assamese Mathematics EVS / Science Social Studies Computer Applications Art & Craft General Knowledge Moral Science
3
Middle School — Class VI to Class VIII
Intermediate Stage · Ages 10–13 · Deeper subject expertise and critical reasoning
Middle

Middle School is where subject expertise deepens and independent thinking takes hold. Science separates into Physics, Chemistry and Biology strands, Social Science covers History, Geography and Civics, and students take on project work, oral assessment, and structured revision. This stage prepares students for the demands of secondary education.

C : Assessment & Evaluation

The academic year runs from April to March across two terms. Written examinations are supported throughout the year by formative assessment and co-scholastic grading, so progress is visible continuously rather than only at term end.

D : Why the CBSE Framework Matters

Six reasons the CBSE curriculum makes a real difference to the children of Tulsibari and the surrounding villages of Rangia.

1
National Recognition
Qualifications accepted by universities and institutions across India

CBSE qualifications are accepted by all universities and higher education institutions across India, giving DeMatha students a universally recognised academic credential. A child educated in Tulsibari carries the same board certification as a child educated in Delhi or Mumbai — geography does not limit where their qualification can take them.

2
NCERT Textbooks
India's gold standard for school curriculum content

CBSE follows textbooks published by the National Council of Educational Research and Training. These are designed to build conceptual understanding progressively, with age-appropriate language, worked examples, and content rigorous enough to prepare students for competitive examinations later in their schooling.

3
Holistic Development
Academic learning integrated with arts, physical education and values

The CBSE framework treats education as the formation of a whole person. Alongside subject mastery, students develop critical thinking, communication, creativity, and moral character through physical education, art, life skills, and values education — supported at DeMatha by our yoga sessions, chess club, sports programme, and cultural events.

4
Structured, Transparent Assessment
Clear benchmarks with continuous insight into progress

The two-term assessment system gives clear evaluation benchmarks at defined points in the year, supplemented by formative assessment throughout. Students, parents, and teachers all get continuous, actionable insight into where learning is strong and where targeted support is needed — well before the annual examination.

5
Digital & Computer Literacy
Computer Applications as a core subject from Class III

Computer Applications is a core subject from Class III onward. At DeMatha students learn in a dedicated Computer Room, building the digital literacy and technological confidence that matter in an increasingly connected economy. For children in rural Assam, this is a gateway rather than a barrier.

6
Qualified, Trained Teachers
A requirement of CBSE affiliation, and a commitment we hold to

CBSE requires all affiliated schools to maintain qualified, trained teaching staff across every subject. Our teachers hold recognised qualifications including B.Ed., M.A., M.Sc., M.Com., D.El.Ed., CTET and UGC NET, and the school employs a dedicated Special Educator and a Counsellor alongside the teaching faculty. The full staff list with designations and qualifications is published on the Mandatory Public Disclosure page.
