  • Students are awarded grades based on their performance.

Lower Primary

The students in these classes are assessed, evaluated and promoted through Continuous assessments which will be held on monthly/ bi-monthly basis. These assessments are:

  • Formative, providing information for the teacher to plan the next steps in the child’s learning;
