Changes for the 2014 Academic Year

Changes for the 2014 Academic Year - KG to Std XII

The coming academic year 2014, will see quite a few changes as SBOA School and Junior College aligns itself to the CBSE suggested Guidelines. Though most of the CBSE schools in Chennai city have implemented these earlier, SBOA has taken into consideration, parents and students and have given them sufficient time to adjust to these transitions.

The New academic year will start in April 2014 versus the usual June re-opening. So that means earlier exams this year for the primary sections. And also the single long summer holidays would be split into a few weeks in March and most probably a month in May. (This was already in place from last year for classes VI and up.)

Also there is going to be a shift from the usual Trimester pattern to a Semester Pattern. This was again implemented earlier for classes 6 and up bur only now being introduced in the primary sections.

The school starting timings have been revised for classes 6 and up at 8:15 am and for the lower classes to 8:45 am, this is 15 mins earlier than the current timings for all.

ID cards have been made mandatory for all escorts and parents for entering the school.

Look out for more changes as a lot of it is on the anvil as per our sources.
