Academics

Learning :

Our learning program is designed to provide the best possible all-around education to each of our students through a comprehensive program. The aim is to produce inquiring, confident, open-minded children, who are reflective in their thinking, balanced and well-disciplined in their behavior and grown up to be caring and responsible persons positively engaging with society and the world.

How are students assessed?

Teachers assess students by selecting or designing methods of assessment appropriate to the learning outcomes they intend to capture. Teachers also take into account the diverse, complicated and sophisticated ways that the individual students use to develop and demonstrate their understanding. The prime objective of assessing the student’s learning and performance is to give feedback to:

  • Students – to encourage the start of lifelong learning.
  • Parents – to highlight their child’s learning and development.
