The school follows an assessment system that is both formative and cumulative in nature. The students are trained throughout the year for the semester system of the examination pattern as per the new education policy. The school’s internal assessment system ensures greater transparency and more objectivity.

Special efforts are made to ensure that every student meets the Grade level expectation and education is all-inclusive in nature.

Assessments are designed differently for students of different age groups. More emphasis on reading skills is given in the junior school while the senior school does more exploratory projects, STEM activities, etc. The school ensures experiential learning for all students moving beyond textbooks.
