Assessments & Examinations

Kindergarten (Aadya)

All learning activities appear as meaningful play. Low-stakes assessments are embedded to check for understanding and identify learning gaps without pressure.

No high-stakes or standardized assessments are conducted at this level.

Grades 1 to 3

Grades 1 to 3

We promote a positive attitude towards learning through Continuous Mastery Assessments (CMA) instead of standardized tests.

Format: Child-friendly, age-appropriate, and short duration.

Focus: Conceptual understanding, vocabulary, writing skills, and number fluency.

Grades 4 to 10

Grades 4 to 10

Students prepare for Cambridge International Examinations through a structured assessment framework:

  • Primary Checkpoint: End of Grade 5.
  • Lower Secondary Checkpoint: End of Grade 8.
  • IGCSE: End of Grade 10.
  • AS & A Levels: Grades 11 & 12.

To ensure success, we use a combination of:

  • Progression Tests (PT): Once every module (4 months) to check curriculum alignment.
  • Interim Assessments (IA): Between modules to identify gaps.
  • Continuous Mastery Assessments (CMA): Monthly moderate-stakes tests.
