Library Period


Children are taken to the library twice a month where they are exposed to a good number of reading materials. Each class has a collection of books which are given out during the class library periods. Library books are allowed for home reading from Std. IV onwards.


Evaluation System

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 day-to-day work.


Three terminal examinations are conducted in the months of Septmeber, December and March and the marks are shown separately on the report card.

This is held once a week throughout the year. Certificates and books are given as prizes. Active participation in various competitions helps the children to develop their latent talents.
