Build the base before Std. XI
The PACE Foundation Builder Program, taught at Joshi’s Classes in Nashik, builds the Science and Mathematics base that JEE, NEET, MHT-CET, NTSE and the Olympiads will later test — without letting school marks slip.
Students who find Std. XI comfortable are almost always the ones who arrived with their fundamentals already in place. This is not the Std. XI syllabus taught early: it is the school syllabus taught properly — slowly enough that the reasoning lands, and deeply enough that nothing has to be un-learned later — with PACE’s application-based practice added step by step.

Foundation · Std. VII – X · Joshi’s Classes × PACE
Foundation Course at Joshi’s Classes — what we cover and how
Who Should Join
- Std. VII and VIII students who want a calm, early start rather than a panic in Std. XI
- Std. IX students planning for JEE, NEET or Olympiad preparation later
- Std. X students preparing for the board exam and for entrance-level Science at the same time
- Students appearing for NTSE, NMMS, Homi Bhabha, or the Science and Maths Olympiads
- Any student who is scoring well but cannot explain why an answer is right
What We Cover — by Standard
| Standard | Focus | Also Prepares For | PACE Programme |
|---|---|---|---|
| Std. VII | Maths and Science basics, logical reasoning | Olympiad-style questions | Foundation Builder – Class 7 |
| Std. VIII | Number sense, algebra basics, Physics & Chemistry fundamentals | NMMS, Maths Olympiad | Foundation Builder – Class 8 |
| Std. IX | Algebra, Geometry, Motion, Atomic Structure, Biology basics | NTSE Stage 1, Homi Bhabha | Foundation Builder – Class 9 |
| Std. X | Complete board syllabus + entrance-level problem solving | Board exam, JEE / NEET readiness | Foundation Builder – Class 10 |
How It Is Taught
- Concept before shortcut. A student who understands the derivation never needs to memorise the formula.
- Board marks are protected. Every chapter is finished to the school pattern as well, so results do not dip.
- Weekly practice sets that step up from textbook level to competitive level, gradually — including PACE’s Olympiad and JEE / NEET-style questions.
- Regular tests with written analysis — chapter-wise and cumulative, so parents see exactly which chapter needs work.
- Small batches so a quiet student cannot sit at the back and disappear.
- Doubt support and parent updates — regular feedback on progress and weak areas.
- Study-habit coaching: how to make notes, how to revise, how to manage a timetable.
Batch Structure
| Batch | Runs | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|
| Regular Foundation | Through the academic year, after school hours | Std. VII, VIII, IX and X |
| Std. X Board + Foundation | Full year, board-intensive | Board marks with an entrance base |
| Summer Bridge Batch | Vacation, before the new standard begins | Getting ahead of the syllabus |
Class mode and days differ by standard — ask our counsellor for the current Nashik batch timings.
Why it matters: a student who builds the foundation in Std. VII–X arrives in Std. XI already able to read a problem and see the method. That is the single biggest reason PACE Nashik students handle JEE and NEET pressure well in Std. XI & XII.
Olympiad pathway
Students aiming at NSEJS, IOQM and the International Olympiads can also take PACE’s Olympiad Excellence Program (Class 7 to 11) — a free, merit-based online programme with written-test and interview selection.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Starting early — answered by PACE IIT & Medical.
You can start building a strong foundation right from your early years like 7th or 8th grade, focusing on Physics, Chemistry, and Math fundamentals. The earlier you strengthen the basics, the smoother your JEE preparation will be in 11th and 12th.
NCERT is the foundation. For Chemistry, especially, it’s extremely important. For Physics and Math, you will need additional reference books for problem practice.
JEE syllabus is mainly Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics of 11th & 12th. The difference is JEE focuses more on problem-solving, application, and higher-order thinking compared to CBSE/ICSE.
