Assessment
Our assessment framework combines academic, behavioural, and personal development metrics to provide a well-rounded view of every student’s growth.
Our Assessment Approach
Continuous Monitoring
We use ongoing assessments to track students’ progress throughout the term, ensuring immediate intervention where needed.
Global Standards
Internationally recognized assessments, such as Cambridge Checkpoint and IGCSE exams, benchmark our students against global standards.
Holistic Development
Our assessments go beyond academics, focusing on personal growth, social skills, and emotional well-being to nurture well-rounded learners
Transparent Feedback
We provide clear, personalized feedback to students and parents, empowering them with actionable insights to guide improvement.
Types of Assessment
Formative Assessments
Ongoing evaluations conducted during lessons to provide real-time feedback and guide teaching strategies. These include:
- Class discussions and participation
- Short quizzes and homework tasks
- Practical assignments and group projects
Summative Assessments
Formal assessments designed to evaluate overall performance at key points in the academic year. These include:
- In- term Assessments: In-term exams to measure understanding and progress.
- End-of-Term Exams: Comprehensive evaluations summarizing the term’s learning.
- International Exams: Cambridge Checkpoint and IGCSE exams for global benchmarking.
Diagnostic Assessments
Specialized assessments to identify specific learning needs or challenges, enabling targeted support.
Performance Indices
To complement our formal assessments, every fortnight we track Performance Indices, which evaluate key aspects of student development beyond academics. These indices ensure a holistic understanding of a student’s overall growth.
