ASSESSMENT AND PROMOTION CRITERIA

PHASE-2 (Grade 1 to 5)

In Primary, we foster the development of each student’s linguistic, cognitive, personal, reasoning, problem-solving, social, emotional, physical, inquiry, creative, and imaginative skills. Our curriculum is child-centered, activity-based, experiential, and art-integrated. We create a safe, joyful, and intellectually stimulating learning environment, offering ample opportunities for children to become active, independent learners who take ownership of their learning journey. Assessments in the Primary track monitor students’ knowledge, understanding, application, and higher-order thinking (HOT) skills. They are conducted periodically throughout the school year, with results shared with parents. List of subjects: English, Mathematics, Science, Social studies, MSCS, Arabic, Islamic Education/Skills for life, Second language – Hindi/ Malayalam/French/Tamil, ICT, Health & Physical Education, Art/ Dance/Music and Library.
