Examination Policy

"The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education." - Martin Luther King Jr.

Assessment: A Key to Better Learning

As per NEP, assessment is evolving into a regular, formative, and competency-based process, focusing on higher-order skills like conceptual clarity, analysis, and critical thinking (Bloom's Taxonomy). The school follows CAC (Continuous Assessment Component), CCE (Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation), and 360-degree holistic assessment to enhance learning.

Assessment is integrated into two forms - for learning and of learning - ensuring a structured approach to evaluation. The examination system is designed to build students' confidence and unlock their full potential. We seek the best cooperation from students and parents to maximize learning outcomes.
