The Middle School level in any school is a very crucial stage where a child is no longer in primary and yet not an adult. Thus, at Royal Global School (RGS) students are taught to foster acceptance, tolerance and an empathetic heart. Thinking skills, social skills and emotional skills are also developed by laying stress on Spoken English, Mathematics and Science.
There has been changes in the teaching methodology. The Language paper has been divided into Literature and Language, both comprising of 100 marks each. Grammar is taught in detail so that the child develops his spoken skills. Besides the Audio Visual way of teaching, science is taught through fun methods such as Butterfly Kits, where the student is encouraged to perform his own experiments.
Assessments of students are done through two ways – Formatives and Summative. Formatives are nothing but going assessments and reviews in classroom. It helps monitor student regularly, provide ongoing feedback to help improve teaching methods of instructors and learning methods of students, identify slow learners and helps in problem solving. Formatives could be conversational skills, projects, assignments or written tests. Weekly tests and unit test marks are also added to the Formatives.10% of each Formative is added to the final results of the student. Assessment are formal written examinations. The Syllabus of the Unit Test is not included in the Summative Examination. This system has been introduced by the CBSE board, so as not to pressurize the child during the time of examination.
The Academic year is divided into two parts. They are as follows :
Part-I | Part-II |
Weekly test | Weekly test |
Unit test-I | Unit test-II |
Formative-I | Formative-III |
Formative-II | Formative-IV |
Summative-I | Summative-II |

For the overall development of a student, a student should participate in co-curricular activity. Besides academics, every child is encouraged to choose two Activities and two Sports which are major and minor. Major Sports are played on a regular basis but minor sports are for the months when swimming does not commence. Clubs have been introduced this year which are held in the afternoon.
Thus excellence at RGS is sought through a holistic development of every child. Here every child imbibes the maxim that : “Fair is not equal, Fair is getting what you need.”
