Dedicated to realizing the potential of 21st-century learning for every student
ExploreDuring the crucial early learning years, ensuring a thorough understanding of foundational concepts is essential. Although our preschoolers are not subjected to formal assessment, we use multiple benchmarks such as spoken- and hands-on activities and worksheets) to evaluate how well students have internalized what they have been taught.
At the Primary level, students are introduced to the idea of formal written tests from Class 1 onwards. They are assessed using a rating system rather than marks.
Learning is reviewed through four unit tests spread across the year, to test understanding of concepts and spelling ability. Their skills in the core subjects are also assessed through activities related to reading, recitation, speaking and writing for the languages, and activities/worksheets/written work to test the understanding of concepts in the sciences and mathematics. At the end of the academic year, subject-wise averages are calculated to arrive at a comprehensive rating which appears in lieu of marks.
The rating parameters are:
1 – Shows excellence
2 – Has the ability to achieve excellence
3 – Meets grade level
4 – Needs skills and effort to reach grade level
At the Middle- and High-School level we use a variety of tools to evaluate concept comprehension. In addition to conducting periodic formal written tests and examinations, we conduct Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) of all student work, including written work; homework; projects; individual and group activities; research and analysis; presentation skills; and speaking and listening ability.
In order to arrive at a final grade, weightage is assigned as follows:
Classes 5 – 7
Students in classes 5-7 are graded using a standard marking scheme. However, the marks they obtain in each test/examination are given a particular weightage for assessment, this pertains to the assignments submitted during the term. The weightage is as follows.
1st Term Exam – 25%
CCE 1 – Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation (all work done in the first term) – 25%
Final Exam – 25%
CCE 2 – Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation (all work done in the second and third term) – 25%
An average of less than 40% marks in any subject indicates that a student is finding it difficult to cope academically. Parents are advised to take the necessary measures to address their child’s academic challenges.
Classes 8 to 9 (ICSE & IGCSE)
1st Unit Test
1st Term Exam
CCE 1 – Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation (all work done in the first term)
2nd Unit Test
Final Exam
CCE 2 – Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation (all work done in the second and third term)
Promotion for students of class 9 is as per the Council for ICSE rules :
Promotion from class 9 is done on the basis of the cumulative achievement level of the student throughout the academic year in the subjects he/she has been registered for.
For promotion, a student is required to have obtained at least 33% on the cumulative average in English and any four other subjects.
No other criteria will be used for promotion from class 9 to class 10.
