The school curriculum is age appropriate which is level matched with the students’ cognitive ability. It is completely based on the government’s level based classification as pre-primary (playgroup to upper kindergarten), basic level (class one to eight), and secondary (class 9 and 10). The students are made sure that they acquire all the defined objectives of the given level before upgrading to the next level.
The evaluation process is different according to the levels that the students read in. The evaluation of the pre-primary and primary level’s students is completely based on CAS (Continuous Assessment System). There is no provision of the terminal exams in the pre-primary and primary levels. But, the evaluation procedure of class six and seven is based on both CAS and terminal exams (50 % from CAS and 50% from the terminal exams). Likewise, in class eight, the evaluation is based on the BLE guidelines. Yet the practical marks will be provided on the basis of the CAS evaluation. Finally, the evaluation procedure of class nine and ten is based on the guideline of SEE examination, yet the practical marks will be based on the CAS.
The school has the access to ICT and digital technology to ensure the modern teaching learning activities and communication. The school also ensures that only the digitally literate instructors and facilitators are appointed.
