Programme Philosophy
Our Secondary (Grades 9-10) and Senior Secondary (Grades 11-12) programmes combine rigorous academic content with personalised guidance to prepare learners for certification and future pathways. We support learners through the NIOS certification structure, which is recognised by boards across India and equivalent to traditional Class X and Class XII standards.
Alignment with NIOS Framework
Wheaton Online School integrates the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) framework for secondary and senior secondary education. NIOS offers recognised courses equivalent to Class X and XII with flexibility in subject choice and pacing, empowering learners who benefit from non-traditional school settings.
