As part of the results review process, students who are under-achieving are
identified, and they along with their parents meet with the respective Programme
Coordinator and the section Head/Deputy Head. A detailed discussion, based on
understanding the learning gaps in the subjects, is followed by an action plan for
intervention by setting targets, and providing additional support and enrichment.
Progress towards targets set is evaluated regularly until the student is achieving at
or above expected levels. In cases where there are learning challenges, the Student
Care Department is also included in the review.

Transcripts are sent to Universities based on the performance in school exams and
assessments (Classes IX-XII) using a 4.0 scale GPA.

weightage is 60% to 40% as represented by the Term Final Grade.
