culmination in Class X, with the board examination

• Classes XI and XII will continue to follow the IB Diploma programme

For all classes, course outlines and unit plans are shared through Toddle platform.
b) Academic Integrity

The school values academic integrity as a core value. It nurtures fair practices in
teaching, learning and assessment. Through sessions in information literacy,
students are educated to recognize the meaning and implication of academic
misconduct, plagiarism, malpractice, and collusion. They are made to understand
that they are responsible for their academic honesty. An age-appropriate
procedure is followed while investigating a case of academic malpractice. Parents
are expected to support the school in promoting integrity over dishonest or unfair
achievement.

c) Assessments
We recognise that teaching, learning, and assessment are fundamentally
interdependent. Our overarching philosophy of assessment is that it should
support student and curricular goals while nurturing age-appropriate learning. We
consider assessment to have four dimensions: monitoring, documenting,
measuring and reporting.

Monitoring learning

• aims to check the progress of learning against personal learning and curricular
goals, and success criteria

• uses a variety of strategies and tools for Assessment for learning (formative
assessment) and Assessment as learning (self and peer assessment, and self -
reflection).

• allows for well-considered feedback to feedforward for next steps in learning

• occurs throughout the learning process
