A combination of formative and summative class assessments is used systemically to monitor student’s progress and guide instruction. Academic year is divided into two terms:
First Term(August to December)
Second term (January to June)
Preschool
Continuous assessments are held monthly based solely on teacher’s observation, class work, and assessment tasks.
Reports are shared with parents twice a year, i.e. mid-year and end of year.
Students are awarded grades based on their performance.
Lower Primary
The students in these classes are assessed, evaluated and promoted through Continuous assessments which will be held on monthly/ bi-monthly basis. These assessments are:
Formative, providing information for the teacher to plan the next steps in the child’s learning;
Diagnostic providing information about a child’s strengths and weaknesses;
Evaluative, allowing individual teachers evaluate how effective their teaching is;
There will be no mid-year and end year examination for classes I-III
Three monthly assessments will be held in first term and three assessments will be held in second term. Reports will be shared with parents twice a year i.e. mid-year and end of year.
Upper Primary and Elementary
Along with formative assessments, summative assessments are held in December and (May-June) for classes IV onwards.
These classes have two assessments in the first term and two assessments in second term.
Students of these classes are promoted through assessment and examination.
The score of Monthly Assessments is included in the December and final examination reports respectively.
