Assessment
- Assessment structure is designed to understand learners’ performance in each subject.
- We conduct two tests and two examinations to assess the learners.
- The assessment provides detailed information about the performance of each learner for their level. It also gives structured feedback to learners and parents. This helps the teachers to compare the strengths and weaknesses of individuals and groups.
- Formative Assessments to track student learning and progress through the year.
- Summative Assessments term wise.
- Check-Point test in Grades 8.
