ICSE secondary programme includes arts, literature, humanities, math and science. At Disha, we believe in making education enjoyable and participative for students. As children transition into the secondary programme, they are exposed to new technical concepts and that might seem very daunting for most children. Our pedagogy makes learning easier for students by eliminating rote memorisation and nurturing concept based learning and critical thinking. We strongly encourage participation in classroom and consciously use mnemonics to strengthen memory. Contextualisation based on relatable real world scenario makes our programme easier on the students. The socially useful productive work programme are designed in a way where the children’s practical field experience are nurtured through each grade. We focus on kindling and inspiring entrepreneurial thoughts in children. Our progressive learning programme invites real world practitioners to showcase their works to children and interact in a free questioning session with each child.
Integration of these two programmes have truly made education enjoyable for students at Disha. We offer the space for students to create multiple forum to express their areas of interest.

Our secondary education Programme promotes healthy competition amongst students by segregating them into houses. We have crafted inter-house events that integrate arts, sports, academics and in a way that it help students to voluntarily participate and excel in all facets.
