d) Examinations
Examinations determine strengths and areas of development of the instructional
programmes and provide data that can be used to monitor students' progress,
and to predict student performance on applicable board exams. The school holds
two sets of examinations in an academic year for Classes VII - XI. Class XII
as an exception to this appears only for their Mock exams, over and above the
regular tests.
These occur at the end of each term of instruction. For Classes X and XII, prelims /
mocks and board examinations are held instead of second term examination. Term
examinations test content, concept and skills taught throughout the term / year
and will align with applicable board examinations (ICSE / IGCSE / IBD).

For the primary and middle school (VI, VII) classes, the school follows a system of
continuous evaluation. Summative assessments are conducted at the end of each
unit and there are no formal examinations for the primary classes. For the middle
school from Class VII there will be a formal end of year examination.
