ST. MARY’S ISC A NEW ERA OF EXCELLENCE SHAPING GLOBAL CITIZENS WITH A HOLISTIC CURRICULUM
St. Mary’s proudly introduced its much-anticipated Co-educational ISC program affiliated to the ISC Board on Thursday, August 11, 2022. The Indian School Certificate (ISC) is a prestigious board examination conducted by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) in India, equivalent to the 12th-grade examination. Recognized nationally and internationally, ISC offers students a robust foundation for higher education. ISC's comprehensive curriculum encourages critical thinking and in-depth knowledge across various subjects, with a strong emphasis on English language proficiency, ensuring that students are well-prepared for global academic challenges. The holistic approach not only develops academic excellence but also nurtures well-rounded individuals ready for university and beyond. While ICSE (Indian Certificate of Secondary Education) focuses on the 10th-grade level, ISC elevates this foundation by preparing students for their final years of secondary education, opening doors to opportunities in India and abroad.
