As our students enter High School, they've already started on their path to becoming talented musicians, artists, writers, and scientists. Now, they'll continue their lessons on other languages and cultures. Furthermore, students will start to expand their view on scientific concepts through experimentation and exploration of hypotheses while gradually making a shift to the IGCSE curriculum.

Grade Seven

We consider our Class VII as a bridge where instead of one class teacher for the main lesson, the students now have a range of specialist subject teachers. Main lessons continue so that the young people can discover the creative possibilities in each subject area as it is gone through, in depth, every day, for 3 to 4 weeks, one of the most exciting Main Lessons being the study of Astronomy, where they go on a 2 week trip to Kutch. Other lessons in the day are English, Mathematics and Science, various crafts, art and music, movement and sports. This is the first step towards becoming independent as well as expressive. They slowly enter a realm where they learn to express themselves to many teachers. Regional Language Marathi is also taught to the students. Learning another language gives the learner the ability to step inside the mind and context of that culture.

Grade Eight

Class VIII serves as a preparatory year designed to meaningfully progress to the courses of study in classes IX and X.
In Class VIII students will experience a four weeks Drama block which is a very essential part of Steiner Education for the teenagers who need to be someone else other than themselves. One very important aspect of class VIII is Social Learning which will help them know more about their society and how to contribute to it. It develops their social skills and makes them more aware of their surroundings.

Grade Nine & Ten

As the students move to Class IX & X, there will be further developments, where we provide a few more subjects to keep pace with the developing world and the ever-growing needs of our young adults. Firstly, we, at Tridha, strongly believe in making our students Global citizens while retaining their deep rooted Indianess. Therefore, it is important for them to learn about their own country and culture. To inculcate love and respect for Indian culture, learning of Hindi, as a second language, will always be emphasized and examined.
To become active global citizens, it is important for us to be aware of the scorching National and Global issues. Therefore, we offer History as a subject – covering mostly European history; and, we arrange regular lectures, discussions with prominent personalities known in their own fields – covering mostly Indian issues and cultural aspects. The emphasis is on developing the ability to think critically about a range of issues where there are more points of view than any singular outlook. Right though in Grade 9 and Grade 10 we basically follow the IGCSE program; at Tridha, we do not lose our focus on the human development of our students. The Rudolf Steiner vision continues to guide our curriculum and care for the students. Our style and approach brought to the students during the Primary years – subjects introduced through blocks, artistic inclusion, aesthetic evolution, gather pace and depth. We encourage students to express themselves, we challenge their thoughts and stimulate their imagination through our unique presentations and classroom management. Our educational vision permeates all the subjects; and, to emphasize our commitment to the development of skills we add to the IGCSE program unique blocks like History of Art, History of Drama, a journey to Ladakh and much more. We celebrate teenage hood by providing the students with what they essentially need: a sense of belonging which is personal and acute. These subjects lead students to reflect and undertake further research into specialized realms which help them understand human development.

The Steiner subjects taught alongside to broaden horizons of art and culture will be History and Understanding of Drama in class IX and History of Art and Understanding Comedy in class X.
These subjects lead students to dwell upon and further research into specialized realms which help them make sense of human development.

We will be offering the following subjects in IX and X.
