Assessments: Nursery I - Class II

Pupils of these classes will not be required to sit for any examination. They will be assessed on the basis of the work done in class throughout the Academic Year.

Assessments: III – IX & XI

  • Scholastic/Academic Achievement:
    • Assignments in the form of classwork as a basis for continuous evaluation.
    • Examinations: Pupils will be required to take two examinations in an Academic Year: a Half-Yearly Examination and an Annual Examination.
  • Non-Scholastic Aspects: Pupils will also be assessed internally on the following:
    • Socially Useful Productive Work and Community Service (SUPW)
    • One activity out of literary, scientific, cultural, and adventure activities
  • Attitudes: The attitudes that will be considered for rating will include attitudes towards teachers, peers, studies, school events, school property, etc.
  • Co-Curricular Activities: These activities form an integral part of the routine, and efforts are being made continually to make them as diverse as possible without disrupting the academic routine of the School in any way.

Assessments: Classes X & XII

In addition to class assignments, pupils will be required to sit for a Half-Yearly Examination and Prelims.

  • Mock Tests will be held on a weekly basis in between these two examinations.
  • Attendance at these Tests is compulsory.
  • In accordance with the direction of the CISCE, no pupil of Class X or Class XII will be held back from the ICSE(10)/ISC(12) except under the regulations provided in the Syllabuses and Regulations booklet of the Examinations. A copy of the relevant booklet should be downloaded by each pupil of Class IX/XI from the CISCE website.

Online Classes

  • The current climate conditions and geo-political situations have compelled the School to follow a method of online teaching as and when necessary. Pupils are provided with study material, and assignments are set and corrected regularly to enable a continuous assessment of the academic progress made by a pupil.
  • It is strongly recommended that a pupil be given easy but supervised access to a laptop/desktop and internet facility at home, so that he may attend online classes conducted by the School as and when necessary.
  • The schedule (days and timings) of such classes will be announced beforehand, and guardians should see to it that their wards attend such classes and complete the assignments set within the time limit prescribed.
  • The method of continuous assessment depends largely on an evaluation of all kinds of assignments. In case, it is not possible to hold any examination in an academic year, the promotion of a child to a higher class will depend on such an evaluation.
