Library

Library periods are included in the time table. So all students are getting one period weekly in the library to read books.

Evaluation

Evaluation is done on a continuous basis. A worksheet is given in the class at the end of every chapter to evaluate students' comprehension of the topic. Marks are given for their performance in the worksheet. The marks obtained by a child in all the worksheets are added up for each subject. This is then converted to a grade and entered in the progress report. These grades indicate the effort put in by students in their day-to-day work.
Three terminal examinations are conducted in the months of September, December and March and the marks are shown separately in the report card.
We give grades for reading, spoken English skills and in handwriting, G.K.
