Examination & Evaluation at Children’s Academy
Academic attainment of a student is evaluated on the basis of Formative & Summative modes.
(a) Formative Assessments: These are carried out both formally and informally by the teacher in the course of teaching and are diagnostic or remedial in nature. The subjects assessed under Formative assessment are Languages, Math, Science and Social Studies. They are assessed with a variety of assessment tools.
(b) Summative Assessment: This is an overall assessment of the student performance which is done at the end of the term. It serves as a feedback on student learning for the teacher and the parent.
At the end of the academic year, an average of all Formative tests & Semesters are calculated and grades are assigned.
Promotions Rules for Grade I to IV, VI, VII
