High School with

Individualised High School Program

At SASE, we hold a deep and unwavering belief: every child deserves an equal opportunity to thrive and excel in their educational journey. We recognise that each student comes with unique strengths, challenges, and life circumstances—and we understand that traditional schooling may not always nurture this individuality. Differences in abilities, aspirations, or personal situations should never stand in the way of a child’s right to a meaningful and fulfilling education.
‍

This belief is the foundation of our Individualised High School Program, thoughtfully designed for students from Grade 9 to Grade 12. This innovative model offers a personalised curriculum that adapts to each learner’s specific needs, aspirations, and pace. It provides students with a sense of voice, choice, and agency—empowering them to shape their educational path in a way that aligns with their personal goals and values. With this flexibility, students are not only supported but inspired to complete high school with confidence and purpose.
‍

At SASE, we firmly believe that curriculum, pedagogy, and assessments should adapt to the learner—not the other way around. Parents play an essential role in this process. You know your child better than anyone else—what drives them, what excites them, and what challenges they face. Our Individualised High School Program offers a framework where parents become empowered partners in learning—fostering autonomy, self-direction, and a lifelong love for knowledge. No longer constrained by the need to fit their child into a rigid academic mould, parents can instead nurture their child’s growth and development in collaboration with us.

It is important to understand that our Individualised High Schooling—delivered in collaboration with Cognia (NWAC)—is distinctly different from open schooling models such as NIOS. While open schooling provides flexibility, it often lacks the structural integrity and academic recognition required for certain higher education pathways. In contrast, our program preserves the standards of international school education while offering exceptional personalisation—such as flexibility in language choices and assessments.

Upon successful completion, students are awarded the American High School Diploma, which is equivalent to the Class 12 certificate issued by Indian state and central boards. Graduates of this program are fully eligible to pursue higher education in India and abroad—including science-based degrees like MBBS, B.E., and B.Tech—and to sit for competitive entrance examinations nationally and internationally.
‍

While institutions like NIOS offer valuable options for many learners, it’s important to note that the NIOS certificate is formally recognised as an Open School qualification, and as such, may not qualify students for science-based undergraduate programs in many Indian universities. In contrast, the American High School Diploma from our program ensures uncompromised access to higher education, both in India and across the globe.
