Andhra Pradesh State Board explained, for parents

Two organizations handle what families actually deal with.

• SCERT Andhra Pradesh (State Council of Educational Research and Training) develops the curriculum, syllabus and textbook content, and manages teacher training and academic support via the district institutes.
• BSEAP (Board of Secondary Education, Andhra Pradesh) conducts the SSC exam at the end of Class 10 and awards the certificate.

Andhra Pradesh and Telangana were one state until 2014, so their school systems originated from the same framework. Both now have separate SCERTs and separate boards, and the content has diverged. Families moving between them should check the actual textbooks instead of assuming the syllabuses still align.

Andhra Pradesh has shifted government schooling significantly toward English medium, issuing bilingual textbooks—same content in Telugu and English—to support this shift. It is a real change parents ask about frequently, so here is what it actually means without policy commentary.

For a child hearing English at home, this accelerates progress. For a child without that exposure, it simply moves the difficulty: they are learning Mathematics and Science and the English they are being taught in, simultaneously. The bilingual textbook helps because Telugu sits on the page when English fails to land.

For tuition, this has specific implications. For many Andhra Pradesh children, the most valuable work is not more problems—it is building subject-specific English vocabulary so the words in questions stop being obstacles. That is teachable and separate from general English tuition.

Telugu continues as a taught subject in state schools, so the medium shift does not remove it from the timetable.

Stage	Classes
Primary	Classes 1 to 5
Upper primary	Classes 6 and 7
High school	Classes 8 to 10

Primary covers a first language, English, Mathematics and environmental studies. Science and Social Science branch into separate subjects at the upper primary stage. From Class 8 onwards, students progress through high school as one block leading towards SSC.

Since no external exams occur before Class 10, the first objective assessment of nine years' education arrives suddenly. Families who recognise Class 8 as the real start of this crucial stretch, rather than waiting until Class 10, typically find the transition smoother.

• Textbooks. State board schools use SCERT Andhra Pradesh materials, including bilingual editions in government schools; CBSE schools use NCERT. Tutoring must follow whichever textbook your child is using.
• Medium background. A CBSE child in the state has almost certainly studied in English throughout. A child from government school may have switched to English partway through, which creates a completely different starting point even at the same class level.
• Examination. The SSC is conducted by BSEAP; the CBSE Class 10 exam by CBSE. Neither board conducts exams before Class 10.

The second point is the most significant. Two Class 7 children need completely different English support depending on how long they have been learning in English.

We teach Class 1 to 10 in groups of three.

• The issued book leads, including bilingual editions where your school uses them.
• Subject English built explicitly. The vocabulary of Mathematics and Science in English is taught, not assumed, because for many AP children that vocabulary itself is the barrier.
• Class 8 onward treated as SSC groundwork.
• Three to a group, which means a child unsure about English is still asked to speak every class – and that is exactly how the unsureness disappears.

Your first class is free, and fees are published on the fees page.
