Campion School | Dr Ambedkar Statue Chowk Area, Colaba, Mumbai

The School year, which begins in April and ends in March, comprises three terms:

• April to August
• September to December
• January to April

The course of school studies extends from the Preparatory Class to Class 10. It is designed to prepare students for the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education Examination, conducted by the Council for the I.S.C. Examination, New Delhi.
The I.C.S.E. is designed to provide an examination in a course of general education, through the medium of English, without any diversification of studies, in accordance with the recommendations of the Kothari Commission. Candidates for the examination will be required to have completed satisfactorily courses in a third language (Marathi), Art and Craft, Physical Education, Moral and Spiritual Values and Socially Useful and Productive Work and Community Service. These are assessed internally by the school and their results will count towards the award of the I.C.S.E. Examination Certificate.
After a ten-year course, candidates are required to offer subjects as laid down by The Council for the I.C.S.E. Examination.
The Indian Certificate of Secondary Education is an Examination equivalent to the S.S.C. and the students who pass this examination and are awarded certificates are eligible for admission to the H.S.C. or I.S.C. stream.
Candidates are declared successful if they reach a prescribed minimum aggregate of marks in the compulsory subjects and at least attain the pass standard in five subjects which must include the subject English and also pass in Socially Useful and Productive Work and Community Service.
Hindi is taught from Class 1. Marathi, the regional language of the State is compulsory from Class 1 to Class 8. Art, Craft, Music, Physical Training, outdoor games, yoga and activities are compulsory for all.

Keen co-operation on the playground tends to develop sportsmanship, team spirit and a healthy spirit of emulation. A high level of individual performance is encouraged, but the spirit of team work is strongly insisted upon.
Freedom of expression is key to a democratic society. Perhaps, the highest form of this freedom is found when performing arts flourish through dance and theatre. Our students are encouraged to express themselves and participate in external and in-house competitions.
The school lays emphasis on fine arts such as painting, sculpture, architecture, music and poetry. These could eventually lead to careers in film, photography, conceptual art, and printmaking.
The aim is the training of students from the earliest years in the art of public speaking, orderly and gentlemanly argumentation, and discovering and developing dramatic talent among the students of the higher classes. To stimulate interest in this important branch of education, prizes are awarded annually to the best individual speakers both in English and in Hindi and to the best Class and House in Inter-Class, Inter-House Elocution, Dramatic and General Knowledge competitions.
