The Academic Process

General 
National Curriculum Framework 2005, directions suggested by CBSE and syllabi organised in NCERT text books form the basis for evolving the academic process. It is discussed here in brief.

  1. Curriculum and Pedagogy : The curriculum design and its delivery is evolved around the child's centred approach to learning. Great care is taken to address the individual needs of pupils and to make teaching a means of harnessing child's creative nature. We have taken lead and brought about fundamental changes in the matter of organising the curriculum the system of evaluation.
  2. Performance Appraisal : The evaluation process is designed to meet the needs of different age groups. Evaluation is comprehensive and continuous - uniformly spread over the entire academic year.

Primary Level (Class I to V) 
The academic process here is characterised by 'Learning Without Burden'.

  • Students are assessed during regular class hours while they are learning. Learning activities provide the evaluator (Teacher) basis for observational and qualitative assessment of pupils.
  • Half yearly and Annual Evaluation is taken in a manner that summarises the whole year's learning.
  • Evaluations requiring writing work are kept for shorter durations.


Middle Level (Class VI to VIII) 
Class room learning is re-inforced through field work experiences. Projects and activities are promoted. Duration for evaluations requiring written work is gradually increased to 3 hrs. Teachers collect, analyse and interpret the child's performance, on various measures of assessment, to come to an understanding of the extent and nature of the students learning in different domains. Evaluation process for different subjects is based on CCE pattern as suggested by CBSE in curriculum for secondary level.

  • Emphasis is laid on expressive and participative functions of language learning.
  • There are four Unit Assessments besides Half yearly and Annual Examinations.

Senior Level (Classes IX and X)
Project work & Laboratory practices are integrated with class room learning. Development of scientific temper and making children sensitive towards environment and need for its protection are given importance in the curriculum design. Evaluation as suggested in the curriculum by CBSE for Secondary  level is followed in word & spirit.

c.   Promotion Criteria :

I to V : Students are promoted to the next level of learning (class) based on the grades acquired by them during performance appraisals, spread over the academic year.

VI to VIII : For calculating overall percentage, 60% weightage is given to continuous assessment and 40% weightage is given to the Annual Exams. For promotion to the next class, a student should secure minimum 40% marks in aggregate and 35% in individual subjects.

IX : Students are awarded grades to indicate the subjectwise performance. Students obtaining the qualifying grades in all subjects are promoted to class X.
