Middle Stage

The middle school stage corresponds to the 3 years in Grades 6 to 8, focusing on the development of foundational knowledge, critical thinking, and practical skills.

We at City Pride School envisions middle school as a crucial phase in a student’s education, promoting flexibility, creativity, and foundational skill-building. New approach is designed to create well-rounded learners by blending academics with practical experiences and encouraging interdisciplinary learning. With these reforms, we will play a key role in shaping students for higher education and preparing them for future careers.
